Those looking for a small mid cabin family cruiser will find a lot to like in the Sea Ray 280 Sundancer. The styling is crisp--a Sea Ray trademark these days--and the interior makes the most out of available space with berths for four adults (and two kids), decent headroom, a full galley, and a V-berth that converts into a second dinette. Built on a deep-V hull with a moderate beam and an integrated swim platform, the Sundancer's curved radar arch is an appealing design touch that's showing up on a good many express boats these days. The single-level cockpit is arranged with a sun pad opposite the helm, an aft-facing bench seat, wet bar, and a retractable rear bench seat that folds up into the transom when it's necessary to get into the engine compartment. A large storage locker is built into the transom, and molded steps at the helm provide easy access to the walk-through windshield. On the downside, the mid cabin and head dimensions are fairly small, and the engine compartment hatch is heavy. Powered with twin 260hp MerCruiser sterndrives, the 280 Sundancer will cruise in the mid-to-high 20s and reach a top speed in the neighborhood of 40 knots.
Entering the cockpit from the good sized swim platform one will find a large bench seat across the transom that easily folds down to create a larger cockpit or to accomodate watersports. Across from this bench seat is another seat for two facing aft. To starboard is a wetbar with a good sized storage area underneath. Forward of the wetbar is the helm with captains chair and a fully appointed woodgrain dash. Opposite of the helm to port is another large L-shaped lounge with a raked back for easy stretching out or sunning.
Entering the cabin, the interior is finished in rich high gloss Cherry accented by whites and neutral softgoods. To port is a dinette finished in ultra leather that can convert to a double berth. Opposite of the dinette is a fully appointed galley with solid surface counter tops, sink, recessed stove top, microwave, etc. The forward berth can be open to the salon which adds additional seating and table space or can be converted to a large double berth with privacy curtains. A second double berth is located midships with addtional storage, reading lights and a large port which provides natural light as well. The head has plenty of room and features nice touches like a full length mirrored door and a Vacuflush Head system. This boat is like new inside and has a wonderful layout for a vessel this size.
