With no wood construction, a solid pour transom to prevent water intrusion, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel and bronze hardware, the S280 blends rugged durability with refined elegance. High-performance UV-stabilized gelcoat, double-molded hatches, and a polished finish make maintenance easy, while phenolic board reinforcements ensure lasting stability. The Sheaffer S280 is made for the hardcore fisherman, the weekend adventurer, and everyone in between.
A cut above the rest
Whether you’re casting lines at sunrise, venturing 40 miles offshore to your favorite hidden spot, or cruising with the family for a day on the islands, the Sheaffer S280 is built to handle it all with ease. At 29 feet 8 inches with a 9-foot 6-inch beam, its modified V hull and full transom with a hydraulic scissor bracket provide a smooth, stable ride even in rough chop, while allowing shallow water running with a 17-inch draft. Built with advanced composite materials, foam-filled hull, and a methacrylate-bonded stringer system, the S280 ensures unmatched strength, resilience, and durability. The 170-gallon fuel tank and 40-gallon freshwater tank extend your range for longer adventures, while the 600hp dual outboard capacity delivers powerful, reliable performance.
