Solid build quality, typical of Sea Ray in this era. The boat has a modified-V hull—good for handling chop and staying comfortable at cruise speed. It’s a moderate displacement hull, so it rides smooth without feeling heavy or sluggish.
Decks are cored, which helps keep the weight down and adds stiffness underfoot. Everything feels solid—no soft spots noticed during walkaround.
Fuel system is built with aluminum tanks, filled from the deck with proper venting. No signs of corrosion or leaking, and they’re well-supported and accessible.
Water and holding tanks are plastic—common and practical for this size boat. Easy to maintain, and no signs of odor or leaks in the cabin.
Overall, this is a well-thought-out and properly built express cruiser. Not overbuilt or underbuilt—just a solid, dependable setup that suits both fishing and family use.

Broker's Comments
This is a clean boat. The gel coat still shines, and nothing looks sun-faded or weathered. It's obvious the owner took care of it.
The cockpit is roomy and well laid out. Great for fishing or just cruising with family and friends. Upholstery looks good—no cracks or stains. Helm is clean, everything looks like it’s in working order, and it hasn’t been messed with or overdone.
The side decks are narrow, but they do give you access to the bow. With good handholds and rails, it’s manageable if you need to go forward while underway or at anchor.
Down below, the cabin is surprisingly spacious for a 29-footer. It’s clean, nothing smells musty, and the finishes still look fresh. Good setup for a couple or small family looking to do some weekend trips.
Overall, this Amberjack is a solid mix of cruiser and fishing boat. If you’re looking for something that’s been protected from the elements and doesn’t need a bunch of work, this one’s ready to go. Just get on and enjoy it.
