1997 Formula 280 Sun Sport — Turnkey, Freshly Serviced, Trailer Included
This boat is completely ready for the water. I've had everything recently serviced and replaced most wearables in 2026 — it's in excellent condition and truly turnkey for cruising, fishing, or weekend camping on the lake.
KEY FEATURES:
- New upholstery and full canvas package — Brand new upholstery installed in 2026, plus a new bimini top with poles, side and back curtains for full enclosure, and a travel cover. All canvas is in excellent condition.
-
- Cuddy cabin with sleeping, galley, and head — The cutty has a table and surround seating that converts into a bed for 2 adults, a microwave and refrigerator (both like new), and a head with toilet and sink. Formula's cuddy layouts are known for making the most of available space in a 28-foot hull.
