2005 Sea Ray Sundancer 280

This 2005 Sea Ray Sundancer 280 is a 28-foot fiberglass cruiser built on a deep-V hull with moderate beam and an integrated swim platform. The boat is powered by three MerCruiser gasoline engines producing 520 total horsepower. The curved radar arch is a distinctive design element, and the hull is finished in black canvas.

The layout sleeps six across multiple berths, including a V-berth forward that converts into a second dinette and a midcabin area. The galley is fully appointed, and the single-level cockpit combines function with comfort, featuring a sun pad opposite the helm, an aft-facing bench seat, wet bar, and a retractable rear bench seat that folds into the transom to access the engine compartment. Molded steps at the helm ease access through the walk-through windshield. A large storage locker is integrated into the transom. The boat accommodates one head.

The interior design maximizes available space throughout. Note that the midcabin area is tight for adults, and the engine compartment hatch is substantial. The Sundancer will cruise at mid-to-high 20 knots and reach speeds near 40 knots.
