The Cruisers 280 CXi in 2006 is a midcabin cruiser whose sporty lines and versatile layout make her a popular. She’s built on a stable modified-V hull with a wide beam and moderate transom deadrise. The floorplan of the 280 is very open and airy with curtains (rather than bulkheads) separating the fore and aft sleeping areas from the main salon. The dinette converts into a double berth suitable for kids, and while the galley is small, it’s nonetheless suitable for basic food-prep activities. The topside layout incorporates a double-wide helm seat, fore- and aft-facing cockpit settees, and a walk-through windshield with molded-in steps for easy foredeck access. Space at the helm for electronic add-ons is limited. Additional features include a removable cockpit table, sport arch, transom door and swim platform. Will cruise at 22–23 knots, with twin Volvo I/Os cruise (35+ top).
