Sea Ray is expanding its SLX line with the launch of its new SLX 280.
The model follows on from the SLX 280 Outboard, and features improved seating, storage and new technologies.
“Earlier this year, we released the SLX 280 Outboard which was met with positive reviews from our dealers, media and boaters,” said Keith Yunger, Sea Ray president. “Now with the launch of the SLX 280, we’re excited to introduce consumers to the sterndrive variant of this new model, as we continue to expand and develop the next generation of the SLX Series.”
The yacht has an overall length of 28ft, 8in and a cockpit optimised for space and comfort.
The transom locker and floor compartment can be used to store inflatables and gear, and a compartment under the transom sunpad can be filled with ice for an integrated cooler.
Upgraded
The cockpit can be upgraded with a drawer-style fridge and an end table with an inductive charging station, dry-storage compartment and cup holders.
U-shaped bow seating creates a place to recline with lounge-style seating, and the transom sunpad presents a spot to soak up the sun.
A swim platform has an optional submersible step for easy access to the water.
An optional power tower offers a canvas top and an extendable sunshade. For easy storage, the tower can be electrically lowered or raised.
The SLX 280 is propelled by a 350hp Mercury MerCruiser 6.2L MPI ECT engine with a Bravo three drive, SmartCraft technology and digital throttle and shift controls.
The helm has a dual digital dash featuring standard 9in Simrad NSX touchscreen displays and SmartCraft Connect for intuitive engine monitoring.
For a personalised touch, boaters can choose to upgrade their SLX 280 with bundle packages to complement their needs and lifestyle.
Selections include anchor, comfort, entertainment, essentials, lighting and water system bundles.
