The SEA RAY 280 Weekender is a European style express cruiser with a long foredeck and a flared bow, which is built in the Sea Ray tradition for quality construction at an affordable price. The salon is entered from the helm area. It is surprisingly large interior for a boat of this type. The compact galley is immediately to port with a two-burner alcohol/electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, hot water heater and a sink. Adjacent to starboard is a large separate head compartment with marine head (fresh water flush), sink and shower. There is a V-shaped convertible dinette forward which will sleep two, a stereo system with AM/FM cassette and a 12000-BTU reverse cycle heat and air conditioning unit.
