This 2004 Sea Ray Sundancer 280 is a 31-foot fiberglass cruiser built for extended time on the water. Twin MerCruiser 4.3L engines with roughly 1,000 hours provide the power, supported by a bow thruster for precise maneuvering. The boat carries a four-battery system: two for engine starting, one for house power, and one dedicated to the bow thruster.
Below deck, the layout includes a V-berth forward and mid-cabin sleeping berths, a full galley with refrigerator, microwave, stove, and sink, and an enclosed head with shower. Topside, the cockpit offers generous seating for entertaining, while a swim platform with boarding ladder sits at the transom. Air conditioning, heating, and a hot water system serve comfort year-round. Storage is distributed throughout the boat.
Navigation and communication equipment includes a Garmin GPSMAP 942xs touchscreen chart plotter, Garmin GMR 18 HD radar, sonar and fishfinder, a Raymarine VHF radio, and a Class B AIS transceiver. A Lofrans windlass received a new motor in 2025.
Maintenance history shows manifolds and risers replaced in 2022, fresh bottom paint applied in April 2026, and regular upkeep overall. The boat includes a full camper-style canvas enclosure and mooring cover.
