Designed for fishermen who demand and expect the very best, the 280 AS Deluxe draws on Arvor's extensive experience in designing practical yet luxurious and user-friendly boats. Ease of use is assured thanks to standard fit hydraulic steering, bow thruster, trim tabs and dual electric wipers. Practicality is enhanced by three electric bilge pumps and a trolling valve, an electric windlass and a revised, longer swinging bow roller.

The helm is well equipped with full engine instrumentation and an electric switch panel with circuit breakers. The pilothouse is very accessible thanks to its sliding door at portside. Nine passengers can be accommodated in four berth accomodation which provides ample overnight space. Additional facilities include a baggage and a toilet compartment. The galley features a sink and tap together with a cooker and a storage container.

For the fisherman, the Arvor 280 AS Deluxe incorporates a very roomy cockpit with an aquarium-style livewell with pump and a fish locker while three wooden foldable cockpit benches are provided for moments of relaxation. An artificial teak laminate covers the floor in the cabin and pilothouse.

There's power to spare from the 4.2 litre Cummins MerCruiser Diesel with capacious 390L fuel tank. DurABle & powerFul With a gear driven camshaft and patented tunnel design crankcase with wet liners, this 6 cylinders in-line diesel is extremely durable. Impressive acceleration and precise throttle response are the result of a proven common rail fuel system that includes a turbocharger and seawater aftercooler. An advanced ECM with SmartCraft compatibility provides system monitoring and control.
