Big Twin Engine Bowrider, One Owner, Low Hours, Stored Inside, Freshwater Only
If you're looking for a classic big bowrider, this 2005 twin-engine, yacht certified Formula 280BR won't disappoint!!
Powered by twin 6.2L Mercruiser Bravo engines and duo-prop Bravo Three outdrives, the boat has all the power you need to pull multiple watersport riders on any towable you have!
The spacious cockpit has plenty of room, and the captain has all the information needed at the helm via the classic analog gauges.
Entertainment is provided via a nice stereo system with an amp and multiple speakers.
Unlike smaller bowriders, this one DOES have the wet head under the dash on the passenger side with a cassette toilet, hand sink, and sprayer.
There is also a small sink in the cockpit, as well as a single-burner alcohol stove.
Please reach out today to discuss your options on this one, including a private showing!
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:
This 2005 Formula 280BR has been well kept by it's only owner since new and clearly benefits from being stored inside when not in use!
Both the interior and exterior present nicely, especially for a 21 year old boat! There are a few minor rubs on the outside if you go looking for them and a split seam (pictured) on one of the cockpit seats.
The trim tab indicator at the helm works intermittently but the tabs themselves work as expected.
Other than that, some of the plastic zippers on the full "camper" canvas will need attention as they're missing some of the teeth. The canvas and isinglass are in good shape as they've only been used a handful of times.
Ready to splash for a water trial and/or a survey as it sits on the INCLUDED trailer, don't wait too long on this one!
Recent Maintenance:
Seasonal maintenance per recommendations.
Recent Repairs:
Lower Units / Outdrives serviced, gimbal rings and steering arms replaced - SUmmer 2026
Horn Replaced - Spring 2026
Engine Oil Change - Fall 2025
Gear Oil Change - Fall 2024
Replaced the axles with brakes at each wheel - Summer 2022
