The Sea Ray 290 Amberjack is the answer to the fervent prayers of both sportfishermen and cruising enthusiasts alike. Because the 290 Amberjack is designed to meet several boating criteria, Sea Ray has given careful thought to the cockpit area. It has an open layout and spacious seating with concealed storage for water toys, as well as the wide gunwales and generous freeboard desired for safe and successful sport fishing. The optional fishing package has an aluminum arch with rocket launcher rod holders. The 290 Amberjack is just as carefully planned belowdecks. The spacious cabin provides a comfortable place to relax. Having done its duty as a dining area, the dinette converts to a double berth at night. There's even an extra bunk for additional guests. The galley is well equipped to prepare a snack or quick meal. Its fiberglass countertop has a built-in sink and cutting board. The dual-voltage refrigerator stores sandwich makings, and there's a microwave for warming. The head compartment features a VacuFlush toilet, mirrored vanity with sink and storage below, plus a shower with curtain. The spacious forward berth has storage for large, bulky items underneath, as well as shelf, lots of cabinet space and a mirrored rope locker. A privacy curtain may be drawn, and the screened deck hatch opens to provide natural light, fresh air and ventilation. The 290 Amberjack is powered by twin 5.0L MPI Bravo III MCM stern drives.
