Sea Ray Amberjack

Manufacturer Provided DescriptionThe Sea Ray 290 Amberjack is a family boat with comfort and durability. And with an optional fishing package, it's instantly transformed into a sport fishing machine capable of handling anything that can be hunted down and reeled in. Beneath its stylish good looks, the 290 Amberjack is built to endure the rigors of time and continuous use with high-performance vinylester resin; stainless steel rails, plates and eyes; a self-bailing fiberglass cockpit liner; and high-quality interior fabrics and appointments. Sea Ray's vented chine hull design improves tracking at low speeds, and enhances high-speed maneuverability for outstanding performance on the open water. It's all available in three color schemes. At the helm of the Sea Ray 290 Amberjack, the spacious double seat with flip-up thigh-rise creates enough room for the captain and navigator to control the craft side by side, with all the latest instrumentation in clear view. There's a 120V outlet and a 12V receptacle - perfect for a spotlight or cell phone. Guests can relax in the portside back-to-back lounger seat or on the convenient aft bench seat which is easily removed to create more space in the cockpit for fishing, or for access to the engine compartment when the gas-assisted hatch is lifted. Storage space is neatly contained throughout the cockpit in the base of the double helm and lounger seats and in the aft transom wall, where shore power and water hookups are also concealed. The walk-through transom leads to a wide add-on swim platform with brackets for easy removal after water sports or diving - but when the optional fishing package is added, the crew will want all the room they can get for hauling in big game. This package has every feature seasoned anglers need: a bait prep station with live baitwell system, aluminum arch with rocket launchers, cockpit toe rail for sure footing, four rod holders, and seawater washdown. Once the team is finished enjoying the great outdoors for the day, the great indoors awaits with a full-service galley with microwave and refrigerator, an opposing dinette that converts to a sleeper, a comfortable forward V-berth, and a fully-enclosed fiberglass standup head with shower, sink and vanity. The 290 Amberjack also features a midcabin sleeper compartment with double bunks which can be used as extra storage space when guests aren't on board. For entertainment, a Clarion AM-FM digital cassette stereo with amplifier, six speakers, and a cockpit remote control keeps the music going all day and into the night. And for added peace of mind, Sea Ray installed a standard carbon monoxide detector in the cabin. With rugged twin 5.0 liter, 240 horsepower Bravo II stern drives, there's no water the Sea Ray 290 Amberjack can't cut. And with engine options up to twin 7.4 liter 310 horsepower Bravo III, the potential for fun is unlimited. A twin diesel engine option is also available. Standard technical features on the 290 Amberjack include power steering, power tilt and trim, audible engine alarms, a halon system, and more allow the craft to be piloted and enjoyed in complete confidence.It does need new propellers along with the generator does not work, the generator didn't work when I bought it in 2013, galley one burner stove needs to be replaced. Since purchasing the boat both motors have been replaced. One has approximately 150 hours, the other 350 hours. The newer engine won't turn over.I believe the one engine needs a new battery or spark plug, or has a loose wire, a mechanic friend is going to look at it soon as well as the generator.Does not have a trailer, I drove it to my slip after purchasing...........the boat can use new upholstery on the seats or a good cleaning may do it.....I found the best cleaner of all things after buying everything else was Mellaluca (spelling) dish soap for the seats and exterior of the boat.Buying as is where is............seller is not responsible for any other items that may need replacing. I have not had time for the boat since Sept. of 2016 other than to check on it while it was in the slip once per season, I have not driven the boat since 2016........always winterized and shrink wrapped along with bottom painting and yearly waxing.......Feel free to message with any questions.......
