2004 Sea Ray 290 Amberjack For Sale

Balance and compromise, almost always elements in the choice of a vessel, and for pleasure craft it is often between fishing and cruising. Sure, some may know they intend to do both, but many are not so sure, and having a boat capable of facilitating both or either certainly makes it more difficult to choose poorly.

The Sea Ray 290 Amberjack is just such a vessel, it is essentially the hugely successful and popular Sundancer express cruiser in almost all respects but for a cockpit configured to enable the fishing alternative.

Thus in one package you get the comfortable cabin amenities and performance of an express cruiser and the open, wash-down cockpit, bait well, rod holders and other accessories of a fishing boat.

Down below is pure cruiser, you've got room to sleep six in the forward and aft berth and the convertible dinette, a galley with dual-mode stove, microwave and fridge, and a head with sink, shower and vacu-flush toilet.

Equipped with a generator that can power the reverse-cycle air conditioning while away from shore power, at anchor or perhaps while trolling, those who are merely along for the ride may complain less, or even come along more often.

Finally, it's a Sea Ray, a known quantity, well made, ubiquitous, solid resale value, young enough to get financing if needed, old enough to have the bulk of the depreciation in its wake. A sensible boat to buy if you're not yet sure what you will prefer doing with it.

The photos tell the story as of 09/2020, the boat appears in good mechanical and cosmetic condition, the owner reports that the engines run well, perform to specification and all on-board systems function properly.
