Condition detail
This 2005 Formula 280BR has been well kept by it's only owner since new and clearly benefits from being stored inside when not in use! Both the interior and exterior present nicely, especially for a 21 year old boat! There are a few minor rubs on the outside if you go looking for them and a split seam (pictured) on one of the cockpit seats. The trim tab indicator at the helm works intermittently but the tabs themselves work as expected. Other than that, some of the plastic zippers on the full "camper" canvas will need attention as they're missing some of the teeth. The canvas and isinglass are in good shape as they've only been used a handful of times. Ready to splash for a water trial and/or a survey as it sits on the INCLUDED trailer, don't wait too long on this one!
