At just over 31 feet in length, this model embodies Sea Ray's reputation for quality craftsmanship and timeless styling, making it a standout in the mid-size cruiser market.Powering this Sundancer is a pair of twin MerCruiser engines.

The helm is equipped with a stylish dash, clear instrumentation, and comfortable double-wide helm seating, giving the captain great visibility and control.Below deck, the cabin is surprisingly spacious for a 31-footer, with high-quality finishes and thoughtful use of space. A convertible V-berth forward doubles as a dinette, while a mid-cabin berth offers privacy for overnight guests. The galley comes complete with a refrigerator, microwave, sink, and stovetop--everything needed for meals on the water. A fully enclosed head with a shower adds comfort and convenience for extended stays.Natural light flows in through portlights and a deck hatch, giving the cabin a bright, inviting feel. Throughout, Sea Ray's attention to detail--plush upholstery, cherry wood cabinetry, and durable fittings--creates an upscale environment typically found in larger cruisers.On the water, the 280 Sundancer offers a smooth, stable ride with responsive handling, thanks to its deep-V hull design. Whether cruising a calm lake, exploring coastal waterways, or anchoring in a quiet cove, this boat delivers confidence and enjoyment for boaters of all experience levels.In summary: The 2004 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer is a stylish, capable cruiser designed for those who want reliable performance, comfortable accommodations, and the flexibility to enjoy both day trips and weekend getaways on the water.While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.We have several more Regal, Bayliner, Chaparral, and Rinker vessels for sale.
