The Sea Ray 290 Amberjack 2005 vs Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 390 2010 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 390 2010 tops out at 380 hp. Engine specs for the Sea Ray 290 Amberjack 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Ray 290 Amberjack 2005 carries 23 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 390 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 390 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Sea Ray 290 Amberjack 2005 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 390 2010 could be the deciding factor.

The Sea Ray 290 Amberjack 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
