I am looking into buying a 2000 280BR, and I'm hoping that you guys can help with a couple of questions.

1. The boat is listed as a 2000 with twin 5.7 300hp engines. I don't think the base 5.7 was ever a 300hp package. Do any of you know if there was a 300hp small block available in 2000?
2. This boat does not have a trailer, but I'm interested in getting one. Can this wide boat be trailered without any special permits/requirements etc?
3. Anyone know where I could find a trailer for this boat?
4. What's a good price for this boat with twin 300hp small blocks and bravo 3 outdrives?

If anyone wants to check the specs it's listed at the Chapman School of Seamanship.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

I just sold my 2001 280 BR, no trailer, 450 hours... upgraded stereo, IMMACULATE inside and out.

Volvo outdrives, 5.7GSI engines.

If you PM me, I can email you pics for comparisons on the boat, and any other info you need or want.

I know I got a little less than I could have... but I would have had to go through a broker, and give up that $$, etc.

I am happy with my deal, all things considered.

Moving up to a 330 or 400ss

Formula offered the 350MagMPI 300HP package in 2000. Boat runs amazing with this setup.
