2015 Fluid Watercraft R280Sold

The R280 has the kind of deep‑V hull that begs you to keep the throttles down when the afternoon chop kicks up, staying dry and planted instead of pounding. Wide Hypalon tubes add a huge sense of security for kids and guests moving around, and they double as easy boarding points when you’re swimming or diving. The open deck layout leaves plenty of room for coolers, beach gear, or a full crew of friends without feeling cramped. High, secure grab handles and non‑skid underfoot make moving forward to handle lines or the anchor simple and safe. With the twin engines set on a bracket, you also gain a clean swim platform area for quick dips between runs.

This R280 shines in local waters where shifting sandbars, strong tides, and busy fairways demand something agile, tough, and predictable. The inflatable collar softens dock contacts and makes rafting up with other boats low‑stress, while the narrow draft lets you nose into skinny creeks or closer to the beach than most hard‑sided hulls its size. Its fast, efficient twin‑engine setup is ideal for stretching your range to nearby islands, fishing grounds, or waterside restaurants in a single tide. When the sea breeze kicks up a sharp chop, the hull form and tube support keep the ride composed so you can run home comfortably instead of waiting out the conditions.
