The Cruisers Yachts 280 CXi is a mid-cabin cruiser with sporty lines and a versatile layout. A must see boat for the budget conscious boater.
The twin Volvo Penta 4.3L GXi engines provide plenty of power while sipping fuel. Shes built on a stable modified-V hull with a wide beam and moderate transom deadrise. The 280 Express is no slouch on the water. She surges onto plane quickly and easily, maintaining a smooth ride for everyone aboard and living up to her designation as a true performance cruiser.
The topside layout incorporates a double-wide helm seat, fore and aft facing cockpit settees with removable table, and unobstructed walkthrough to the helm and salon. The walk-through windshield with molded-in steps provides EXCELLENT easy foredeck access. The helm sits on a raised platform for great visibility while navigating. Additional features include a sport arch, transom door and swim platform with concealed boarding/swimming ladder.
Below, you'll find a head with shower, large aft cabin, good sized dinette, a galley with fridge/freezer, microwave, cooktop and sink, plus a queen sized sleeping area forward. The floorplan of the 280 is very open and airy with curtains (rather than bulkheads) separating the fore and aft sleeping areas from the main salon. The dinette converts into a double berth suitable for kids, and the galley is fully equipped for basic food-prep activities. The living space below seems to belong to a larger boat.
