28' Sea Ray 2004 280 Sundancer - SEA RAY FOR SALE

“Current price” serves as guidance only, and all reasonable offers will be welcomed with respect and discretion. Presented here is a refined look at the 2004 Sea Ray Sundancer 280, a highly regarded express cruiser in the premium sport cruiser and cabin cruiser categories, celebrated for its balanced blend of style, comfort, and assured performance. Owners love the inviting interior layout: a bright, open cabin with a convertible V‑berth that transforms elegantly into a dinette for sociable meals, plus a cozy mid‑cabin double berth for additional overnight accommodations. The compact yet capable galley supports effortless weekend escapes with a single‑burner stove, microwave, and refrigerator, so snacks, sundowners, and simple suppers are always at hand. The well-appointed head elevates onboard ease with a Vacuflush toilet, shower, and a tidy vanity with sink, making longer stays aboard both practical and pleasant. Up top, the cockpit is designed for relaxation and entertaining, featuring a wet bar with sink, an insulated cooler to keep provisions crisp, generous lounge seating including a foldaway aft bench, and a companion lounger with a supportive forward‑facing backrest for effortless cruising. An extended swim platform with a concealed ladder invites impromptu dips and water‑toy play, underscoring the versatile, luxury motor yacht sensibility of this capable powerboat.

Underway, the Sundancer 280 is composed and confidence‑inspiring. Power comes from twin MerCruiser 4.3L MPI engines delivering a combined 440 horsepower, providing smooth, willing acceleration and an enjoyable, economical cruise that owners in this class consistently praise. With a 100‑gallon fuel capacity, 28‑gallon fresh water tank, and 28‑gallon holding tank, the boat offers a satisfying range for day boating, long lunches at anchor, or lightly provisioned weekend getaways. Handling remains predictable, docking is straightforward, and the footprint balances interior volume with nimble, sport‑cruiser agility.

In terms of current condition, the starboard engine is reported as newly installed and showing only minimal test hours, and both motors start readily and sound excellent. The vessel itself presents very cleanly, with regular, thorough monthly detailing that speaks to thoughtful care. This Sundancer 280 is being offered for bid—an appealing opportunity as the owner is retiring from boating—and is available for viewing in Hilton Head Island. Do not miss the chance to make this graceful weekender and family cruiser your own.
