2024 Caymas 281 HB

The 2024 Caymas 281 HB is a hybrid center console built on a Michael Peters double-stepped-vee ventilated tunnel hull, designed to balance offshore capability with shallow-water performance. Twin Mercury 300 V-8 Verado engines provide the maximum horsepower package for this model. The boat features a 27.92-foot length with a 9.33-foot beam, delivering stability and interior volume alongside a dry, fuel-efficient ride.

The fishing platform centers on a large nonskid casting deck with massive built-in storage compartments, port and starboard livewells (the port unit equipped with an 800 GPH pump and high-speed pickup), and 7 rod holders integrated into the hardtop, plus an additional 8 flush-mount stainless steel and Gemlux rod holders distributed across the boat. A starboard swim platform with folding boarding ladder and underwater lights support water access. The 120-gallon fuel tank is supplemented by an auxiliary 50-gallon tank. A freshwater system with 16-gallon capacity, shower head, and a marine head with blackwater tank round out the functional systems.

Accommodations include U-shaped bow seating with a removable table and cup holders, center-line flip-up stern seating, and a leaning post with fold-down armrests. The complete upholstery package in Toast with black stitching covers all seating surfaces. A fiberglass hardtop with custom powder-coated frame features three-sided hard glass enclosure, dome lights, three LED spreader lights, and PFD storage. Electronics comprise dual Garmin GPSMAP 8616xsv displays with GPS antenna, a Garmin VHF 215 radio with 4-foot antenna, and a Sirius satellite antenna. Audio includes a JL Audio upgrade package with Fusion head unit, eight premium speakers, and two amplifiers.

The boat is finished in Jet Black on the hull sides and bottom, with a two-tone hardtop in Jet Black and Matte Black powder coating. Additional equipment includes motorized battery switches with four-bank charger and dual AGM house batteries, a Power Pole Blade Series anchor, a custom cooler slide, and an Edson Special Ops steering wheel. The boat has approximately 39 hours of operation.
