2018 Sea Ray 280 SLX - 112 Hours | 380HP 8.2L | Power Tower | Hydraulic Platform | Freshwater Only
This exceptionally clean, single-owner 2018 Sea Ray 280 SLX is the definition of a premium, lightly used freshwater boat. With just 112 original hours, this vessel has been used exclusively on Lake Champlain, seeing water time only from June through September, and has been dealer maintained since new with all services up to date.
Loaded with high-end options and powered by the sought-after Mercury 8.2L MAG (380HP) with Bravo IIIx DTS, this 280 SLX delivers impressive performance, smooth handling, and effortless docking.
If you're looking for a turn-key, no-excuses 280 SLX, this is one of the cleanest and best-equipped examples on the market.
