Performance That Commands the Sea

At the heart of the 280 Outrage lies exceptional offshore capability powered by robust Mercury outboards. Designed for confident navigation in varying sea conditions, this model is available with a range of single or twin Mercury engine configurations, giving you the performance, efficiency, and handling required for serious bluewater adventures.

Standard Configuration: Twin Mercury 225 V6 DTS FourStroke engines with digital throttle and hydraulic power steering deliver impressive fuel economy and reliable power for both long runs and quick hole shots.

Optional Upgrades: Twin Mercury 250 or 300 V8 Verado outboards with Joystick Piloting provide a boost in horsepower and control. Joystick Piloting offers effortless docking, precise low-speed maneuvering, and integrated Skyhook position-holding, ideal for fishing or tight marina entries.

Seakeeper Gyro Stabilization (optional): For ultimate comfort, add a Seakeeper system to dramatically reduce roll and improve onboard stability in rough seas or at anchor.

From coastal cruising to high-speed offshore runs, the 280 Outrage delivers unshakable confidence and command of the water.

Unrivaled Helm Experience

The helm of the 280 Outrage is a testament to both precision control and thoughtful ergonomics. Built with serious captains in mind, it offers best-in-class electronics integration, comfort, and forward visibility.

Integrated Simrad Navigation: Dual touchscreen Simrad displays offer GPS, radar, sonar, engine monitoring, and more, all at your fingertips. The layout is clean, intuitive, and customizable to your preferences.

Digital Switching System: Control lighting, pumps, batteries, and more remotely or directly from your helm display, streamlining operation and conserving battery life.

Optional Deluxe Helm Seating: Upgrade to adjustable captain's seating with an ergonomic bolster and a stationary companion seat, offering enhanced comfort for longer runs offshore.

Visibility is enhanced with the optional full-glass windshield, while the integrated hardtop system includes floodlights, life jacket storage, rod holders, and radar mount options.

Smart Layout, Unmatched Comfort

Every inch of the 280 Outrage has been optimized for comfort, usability, and versatility, ensuring it excels as both a hard-core fishing platform and a premium family cruiser.

Large Open Bow Lounge: The forward lounge features wraparound seating with fold-down armrests, integrated backrests, and plush upholstery. Storage compartments beneath the seating are deep and gasket-sealed, perfect for dry bags, gear, or life jackets.

Convertible Sun Pad: Add an optional bow table and filler cushions to convert the bow into a luxurious sunbathing platform or an inviting dining area.

Comfortable Aft Bench Seat: The transom features a full-width fold-down bench that offers spacious seating when deployed and folds cleanly away when it?s time to fish.

Portside Dive Door: One of the most praised features, the integrated dive door provides safe and easy access to the water, ideal for divers, swimmers, or bringing in a large catch.

A fresh water system, optional beach boarding ladder, and forward console lounger with backrests complete the picture of all-day comfort and utility.

Fishing Features That Raise the Bar

Built by and for anglers, the 280 Outrage doesn't just compete it leads. Every feature has been designed to make your time on the water more productive, from rigging bait to landing your catch.

Deluxe Leaning Post: Includes a 30-gallon pressurized livewell, bait-prep area, sink, tackle drawers, and rod holders. Everything you need is right where you need it.

Insulated Fishboxes: Twin in-deck fishboxes with overboard macerated pump-outs keep your catch fresh and your deck clear.

Rod Storage & Holders: Secure storage for rods under gunwales, at the transom, in the leaning post, and optionally on the hardtop, ensuring your gear is always accessible and protected.

Flush-Mounted Hardware: Stainless steel fittings and toe rails support safe fishing in rough conditions without cluttering your deck.

The 280 Outrage is tournament-ready straight from the factory, and you can enhance it further with outriggers, downriggers, and additional livewells if needed.

Entertainment & Practical Amenities

Beyond fishability, the 280 Outrage offers features that transform it into a premier recreational cruiser, ideal for entertaining, watersports, or anchoring off your favorite island.

Stereo System: Fusion sound system with Bluetooth connectivity and multi-zone control lets you set the soundtrack to your adventures. Optional subwoofers and additional speakers are available.

LED Lighting Package: Accent and courtesy lights throughout the cockpit, bow, and helm areas set the mood after dark. Add RGB lighting for custom colors and ambiance.

Swim Platform with Ladder: The integrated platform at the transom makes boarding and swimming easy. The portside dive door adds another water access point for ultimate flexibility.

Enclosed Head Compartment: Inside the console, a spacious head compartment with marine toilet, sink, storage shelf, and optional VacuFlush system offers privacy and convenience for longer trips.
