Two engines, under 530 hours - and an on-board electrical system that is hard to find in this class: This Celebrity 280 EC has been technically set up in such a way that it now cruises well beyond its year of construction.
The basis is right: two MerCruiser 4.3L EFI with a combined 440 hp and DuoProp drive. However, the decisive factor is the condition: both engine blocks were renewed in 2011 and currently run with approx. 430 and 530 operating hours respectively. For a cruiser of this size, this is a clear indication of restrained use and clean maintenance.
Maintenance has been consistently continued: Impeller and V-belt 2024, spark plugs and ignition cables 2025. No maintenance backlog, no outstanding issues in the drive.
What clearly sets this boat apart from comparable offerings is the electrics: Victron MultiPlus, Sterling charging systems, Smartfuse fuse, solar panel, NASA battery monitoring and a total of six batteries. This is not a standard set-up, but a well thought-out energy architecture - stable, expandable and designed for long-term use.
The handling has also been upgraded: Vetus bow thruster with radio remote control, Lofrans anchor winch (500 W) with chain counter, hydraulic steering and trim tabs ensure control - both in port and on the water.
Visual and functional investments were also made: Cockpit new (2023), hull partially painted (2023), imitation teak deck renewed. The VHF radio is on board, but needs to be reconnected - a calculable point. The result is an overall appearance that clearly stands out from the usual used condition.
This boat is aimed at buyers who are looking for a high-performance sports cruiser with a clean history and above-average technical equipment - without subsequent investment.
