I owned this model, 2003 sturdy little boat, had the twin 5.0 ltr, sleeping accomadation is not great for tall people, over 6ft tall, was fun as our first larger boat
I realize this boat is long gone, but I’ve been watching listings of 260 Sundancers because I thought it’s the largest Sundancer that’s trailerable, but a friend told me he’d seen these 280’s trailered. It does exceed the 8’6” maximum beam, does it not? Please clarify, because if I can pull a 280, I’ll change my search. Awesome boat.
From 2002 thru 2009 the 280 Sea Ray had a 9 Foot 5 in Beam. In 2010 the redesign brought the beam down to 8'10'. Now depending on the state you live in, check with your DMV. In California with a permit you can trailer up to 10' wide with time & route restrictions ( Check with CADMV for further information & requirements). I've had a lot of these 280's on a trailer. The boat was offered with twin V-6 motors, twin V-8 (305's) and a single 454 ( 7.4 LT) then the 8.1. I've driven them all and each configuration has it's pluses & minuses.
No, as on a twin engine, lower profile 28' boat there would be little need. There is a company, Yacht Thruster that make a few that could be fitted to this. One model hangs below the keel and another model could be built into the hull.
This vessel came with a single 7.4 LT, twin 4.3 MPI, 220 HP and twin 5.0 Lt. Having driven all versions, I think the 4.3 is the best combination power, maneuverability, and operational costs. The twin v-8's felt overpowered and ready to "break-away" from the driver.

If these come with available 5.0’s...then you could stuff twin 6.2’s in there :)

@@Smyyachts thanks for the info, and I saw your opinion on the power options. I believe I’d go for the twin V-6’s as well.
I want some like that
What size are your fenders
Awesome
Bow thrust?

We’re shopping for a boat.Prefer a Searay 21ft bowrider w/200-250hp motor.

Horrible power option on this boat

Thats a perfect combo...all the maneuverability with twins, lower weight and operating costs. The 4.3 are great engines, and plenty of power for a 280
