Cornelia Rose Boat | 28' Sea Ray 2023

2023 Sea Ray 280 SLX – "Cornelia Rose"

Imagine escaping to the open water on a vessel that feels less like a boat and more like your private luxury waterfront estate. Named the "Cornelia Rose" (lovingly dubbed "Rosie" by her original owners), this immaculate 2023 Sea Ray 280 SLX is a masterclass in modern day-boating. With new 2026 models now commanding a retail price of $309,455, "Cornelia Rose" represents a rare opportunity to secure an effectively new, highly customized flagship vessel at an exceptional value, completely bypassing the steep initial depreciation and long dealer waitlists.

Step aboard, and you instantly feel the difference. Every detail of this yacht-certified bowrider has been curated for the discerning boater who demands turn-key perfection, premium styling, and absolute peace of mind.

The Luxury of Immediate Upgrades

Unlike standard factory-delivery models, "Cornelia Rose" has been meticulously enhanced by her original owners with premium aftermarket upgrades that elevate your comfort and navigation safety:

• Premium Refrigeration: Indulge in an upgraded Isotherm stainless-steel refrigerator/freezer drawer, keeping your refreshments perfectly chilled on long, sun-drenched afternoons.

• Total Vessel Connectivity: Enjoy absolute peace of mind with the integrated Siren Marine smart monitoring system. Check your boat’s real-time position, battery voltage, fuel levels, high-water sensors, and even the fridge temperature right from your smartphone or desktop.

• Fresh Bottom Prep (September 2026): She just received a professional, fresh coat of Pettit Odyssey HD Black bottom paint and brand-new, heavy-duty AGM house and start batteries, ensuring she is mechanically pristine and ready for the season ahead.

Unrivaled Performance & Command

At the heart of "Cornelia Rose" is the legendary Mercruiser 8.2L Big Block V8 engine, pushing out a commanding 380 horsepower paired with a Bravo 3 stern drive. With only 93 original engine hours, this powertrain is barely broken in.

Experience a remarkably smooth, level ride even in choppy waters, thanks to the factory-upgraded Dynamic Running Surface and automatic trim tabs that instantly self-adjust to keep the boat perfectly stable.

• Cruising Speed: A highly efficient 22 knots consuming just 16-17 gph.

• Top Speed (WOT): A thrilling 41 knots at 28 gph, riding on a freshly detailed, clean hull.

Sophisticated Style & Entertainer's Layout

Draped in an elegant Sea Ray Blue Hull accented by a vibrant Rally Red Gel Stripe and striking black canvas, this boat commands attention at every dock. The layout is engineered around effortless socializing:

• Versatile Cockpit Living: Features Infinity woven vinyl flooring, an elegant Teak cockpit table with three distinct mounting locations, a flexible swivel portside companion seat, and a built-in cooler cabinet.

• Yacht Certified: Maximum versatility, this vessel frees you from strict capacity plates—meaning your guest list is limited only by the number of life jackets you choose to carry.

• The Power Tower: Lower the motorized tower at the touch of a button, complete with an integrated Bimini top for seamless sun protection.

• The Submersible Swim Platform: Relax at the water's level with the automated submersible swim platform, beautifully lined with comfortable SeaDek flooring.

• Unused Amenities: The enclosed Vacuflush head (complete with holding tank, macerator, and premium SeaDek flooring) has never been used, maintaining true factory-new cleanliness.

Comprehensive Features & Specifications

• Next-Gen Glass Helm: Command with confidence using the upgraded dual 12-inch Simrad displays, giving you an expansive, crystal-clear view of your charts, engine diagnostics, and sonar data simultaneously.

• Electronics & Comfort: VHF radio with integrated AIS receiver, premium Fusion WiFi stereo upgrade, blue LED lighting package, and brilliant blue thru-hull underwater lights.

• Anchoring & Utility: Premium Windlass with a stainless steel anchor (rope/chain galvanized setup), bow and stern fresh-water washdowns, starboard windshield wiper, and a side-entry boarding step.

• Safety & Maintenance: USCG Documented vessel, automatic fire suppression system in the engine compartment, engine compartment heater (ideal for shoulder-season protection), on-board smart battery charger (AC plug-in), and matching cockpit and tonneau covers.

• Electrical System: Pure DC electric system for simple, highly reliable power distribution while away from the dock.
