Matrin,
Congrats on the new boat. You might want to look up Julio who posts on here sometimes. Has a 280 w/ 502 efi and lives on the Amite. Where do you live in Maurpas? My parents have a place in Head of Island, practically grew up out there. Good luck.

Matrin,
Congrats on the new boat!!!!
I bought a 2000 in December. I've been loading up the hours on it all summer. I think it's a great boat. You will have lots of enjoyment.
I put a K&N air cleaner on mine instead of the Vortec. Got mine from Rex Marine. 909-392-7300 Part no. KN59-5006 with adapter part no. 456-700.
I did a search of the country for 280 Silencers starting around November of last year. Is your hull ID number PPN28097G001? I was looking at one very similar to yours. It was located in Alabama.
I agree with Bill R on the props. I tested a hydromotive and a mirage on my boat. I recommend to stick with the Bravo.
Best of Boating!!!!!!!

Martin,
I have a 2001 280 Silencer as stated by JMeng. I live on the Amite River in Summerfield, just a few miles up river from you. Actually I'm 1 mile from Freds.
Any way, I love my boat and hope to get many years of use from it. Look me up one day and we can do some crusing together.
I stay on channel 68 and go by N2DEEP.
You can see a pic of my boat under Readers Rides in the Photo section of OSO.
