Recent Repairs and Maintenance

This SeaRay 280 is in excellent condition overall. She has been carefully and faithfully maintained by her former owners, with routine and timely service for main engines, generator and Bravo outdrives along the way.  We have additional receipts for recent bottom paint, outdrive resurfacing and painting, numerous electrical repairs and other miscellaneous jobs – all completed by the staff at Seattle Boats of Newport Marina.  The boat has spent the majority of her life in the freshwater of Lake Washington. 

Our work has been focussed on testing and checking all systems, replacing a Merc. freshwater engine and drive circulating pump, detailing appearances and carefully examining everything.  We can say with confidence that you will be quite impressed upon initial inspection, and more importantly, comfortable with her quality and performance as new owners.

About Our Pacific Marine Foundation 

We are selective about the vessels we accept into our program and we pursue a very rigorous process before they are listed for sale.  This begins when we first meet with our donors to discuss the condition and recent upkeep of their boat.  Once accepted, each new arrival undergoes a thorough examination, similar to what a marine surveyor will do.  This allows us to prioritize our attention to any deferred maintenance or repairs that may be needed.

Over the years we have performed just about every kind of marine repair, from electrical and plumbing issues to all types of appearance enhancements and even rebuilding engines.  If something is not working right we fix it, simple as that.  We prove that her electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are correct, safe and functioning properly.  By doing all of this we know our boats quite well from top to bottom and present them fairly and honestly to buyers.

We encourage you to have our boats professionally surveyed as a part of your purchase process.  By the time we’ve finished and the boat is advertised, we’re confident you will receive a strong report from your surveyor.

Thank you for considering PMF boats in your search !
