Updated Formula 280 SS with 2023 replacement long blocks, modern electronics, refreshed cockpit and tri-axle aluminum trailer
Located in Macclenny, Florida, this 2000 Formula 280 SS Sun Sport combines Formula's performance-oriented Deep-V design with a versatile cockpit, comfortable cabin, extensive recent updates, and an included triple-axle aluminum trailer.
A major highlight is the power. According to the seller, both 4.3L long blocks were installed in 2023 by the marina that handled the boat before his purchase. The seller estimates approximately 70 hours of use on the replacement long blocks, and marina receipts are available. The original tach/Hobbs meters show 981 hours on the port side and 1,015 hours on starboard.
All six engine and drive cables have been replaced. The original sterndrives have also recently been serviced, including new impellers less than six months ago and fresh AMSOIL gear lubricant. The seller reports both engines are responsive and operating well. The starboard shift cable needs some additional adjustment following replacement, as shifting currently requires slightly more effort than he prefers.
The helm has been extensively modernized with AutoMeter instrumentation and two primary LCD gauges connected through an NMEA 2000 network with engine-data computers. A Garmin chartplotter/fishfinder less than two years old is paired with a newer through-hull transducer and a separate transom-mounted transducer. Engine information can also be displayed through the Garmin.
Formula designed the 280 Sun Sport with a spacious cockpit featuring twin command seating, a U-shaped aft lounge, double port lounge, in-floor storage, cockpit galley with sink, and an integrated swim platform. This boat has updated upper-deck upholstery and custom bimini over the aluminum arch.
Below deck is a U-shaped forward lounge/dinette that converts to a double berth, along with a private head compartment, vanity, and sink. The seller reports the freshwater system, head, windlass, navigation and anchor lights, courtesy lighting, stereo, gauges, and automatic/manual bilge-pump functions are operating.
A triple-axle aluminum Cata Marine trailer is included.
This Formula offers an appealing combination of classic Formula construction, substantial mechanical investment, modern electronics, refreshed cockpit accommodations, and trailerability.
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.
Condition:
According to the seller, this 2000 Formula 280 SS is operating well and has received substantial mechanical, electronic, and cosmetic updates.
The cockpit upholstery has been replaced and presents well, and the custom bimini is newer. The cabin seating appears well-kept for its age, while the cabin carpeting shows visible age and staining. The helm wheel and portions of the exterior also show age-related cosmetic wear, and some normal surface corrosion is visible on engine-room components.
Recent Maintenance:
Sterndrives were recently serviced with new impellers and AMSOIL gear lubricant. Seller reports an oil change approximately eight months ago with roughly 10-15 hours of use since.
Recent Repairs:
Both 4.3L long blocks were replaced in 2023. All six engine/drive cables have also been replaced; the starboard shift cable currently needs additional adjustment.
