The 2008 Sea Ray Amberjack 290 is a true crossover vessel — seamlessly combining the comfort and amenities of a family cruiser with the durability and outfitting of an offshore fishing machine. Built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with a 21° deadrise, she delivers smooth handling and confident performance across a variety of sea conditions.
Powered by twin 300 hp MerCruiser 5.7L V8 Bravo III 350 MPI sterndrives, the 600 hp this model has offers responsive acceleration and efficient cruising in the mid-20 knot range, with top speeds exceeding 35 knots, depending on conditions.
With a beam of 10'6", the 290 Amberjack provides excellent stability both underway and at anchor. Her wide beam also translates to a spacious cockpit, ideal for entertaining or fishing, and an interior layout that offers surprisingly generous accommodations for a vessel in the 29-foot class.
