2003 Sea Ray 290 Select

Step aboard this 290 Select and you’ll notice right away how Sea Ray used every inch of space intelligently. The helm is laid out so everything falls right to hand, with clear sightlines over the bow even when coming on plane. Deep, secure freeboard in the bow gives passengers a confident ride when the chop builds. Storage is generous—under-seat compartments swallow coolers, lines, and water toys so the cockpit stays uncluttered. The walk-through windshield makes moving forward easy, and the molded non-skid keeps bare feet where they belong. Thoughtful touches like stainless grab rails, quality upholstery, and solid hardware deliver that “big boat” feel in a manageable size that’s still trailerable for those who like to explore new water.

On these busy, wide-open waters, the 290 Select hits a sweet spot between performance and comfort. The twin-engine setup has the punch to carry a full crew without feeling strained, while the substantial hull handles the afternoon boat wakes with composure. There’s plenty of secure seating for family and friends, yet the boat remains nimble enough for cove hopping and quick runs to your favorite on‑water hangouts. The open bow is ideal for stretching out at anchor, and the generous cockpit space works perfectly for long, social days on the water. For owners who value solid construction and a confident ride when the traffic picks up, this model is a smart fit.
