2000 Sea Ray 290 Amberjack for Sale

$6000 below the next higher price within 500 miles!!! (BOAT IS UNDER CONTRACT) We have to say good bye to Rocksteady, our beloved hybrid fishing/power cruiser boat, after 4 years of flounder fishing in and around Great Egg Harbor Bay. This was our first boat. We bought her not knowing if we would be "cruisers" or "fishermen". This boat offered us both at a very reasonable entry price. Turns out, we went fishing 4 days a week, and never spent the night onboard in nearby Atlantic City OR Cape May. We just wanted to stay close to home. But this boat does offer you both options. Sea Ray is known for its fit and finish. The Amberjack is in good shape, and well built. With two Mercury Mercruiser 5.0 Litre EFI's, 3 Interstate Marine batteries, cranking out 1000 amps each, it runs very solidly. She has been well maintained by the good folks next door at Marine Max Somers Point. I have all the records ready to go and ready to show. (Fiberglass hull, gas powered, Twin Inboard/outboard, and 505 hours on the engines) She is 29 feet long, plus 2 more with the swim platform (complete with swim stairs), and a cool radar arch which holds 4 "rocket launchers" (fancy for overhead rod holders). They are invaluable. (4 more rod holders in the cockpit area). Trim tabs mounted for efficient leveling while under way. She has a dual sink in the cockpit, along with a huge storage box in the transom, and a spotlight and anchor/windlass at the bow. (The windlass is not working. We never needed it, so never fixed it. I lowered the price accordingly) I never updated the electronics, so they are most likely the originals. They work, but are ancient. We did not seem to care. What we did buy (brand new) was a custom canvas package. It’s big, blue, beautiful and you’ll think it’s cool. The roof, and front and side windows close in the cockpit, which is HUGE for the wind factor when under way. The back half zips on when not it use for protection against rain, dirt, leaves, etc. (don't buy a boat without front and side windows connecting to canvas roof. You need the protection!) Downstairs is a huge cabin, which we simply did not take advantage of. Big bed, dinette area, sink, microwave, mini fridge, stove, bathroom(head), storage, and even a secondary sleeping area that would realistically be for a small junior fisherman. The cabin has air conditioning and it works perfectly. I'll throw in all the stuff we won't be taking with us: Boat poles, fishing net, first aid kit, fire extinguishers, life vests, our portable marine radio and charger, iPod/iPhone-to-cassette adaptor, fenders, 30 amp shore power connector, and anything else I can think of to get you started. We priced this vessel to appeal to the folks who feel this type of boat will fit their boating plans….That is, the price is right for such a versatile boat. We are not negotiators, so rather than bicker back and forth, we decided to price this attractively so that Rocksteady would find its next owners in time to enjoy 2020 southern New Jersey-style, on the water. It's a good boat, runs well, and flounder season opens in May! I’m not a pro photographer, but you will get a good sense of this vessel with these photos. And I hope you’ll meet me in Mays Landing to check it out over the winter!
