2026 Sea Ray SLX 280

The 2026 Sea Ray SLX 280 is a 28-foot sport cruiser built on a fiberglass hull with a 9-foot beam. It's powered by a single Mercury MerCruiser 6.2L engine producing 350 horsepower, paired with a Bravo Three sterndrive and Digital Throttle & Shift system. The hull features a 21-degree deadrise for a smooth, stable ride. SmartCraft integrated engine monitoring keeps tabs on mechanical performance.

The cockpit centers on an expansive layout with premium upholstery and a large swim platform. The bow offers a spacious U-shaped seating area designed for socializing, while the helm incorporates dual Simrad touchscreen displays, CZone digital switching, and a Fusion audio system. Storage is distributed throughout the boat in floor and transom compartments. The transom includes a sunpad with integrated cooler, and a single head compartment is included.

Accommodations focus on day-cruising comfort. Deep, ergonomic seating suits extended time on the water, and LED ambient lighting transitions the interior from day to evening use. Optional systems include a water system with sink, a power tower or Bimini for sun protection, and a submersible swim platform step. Active Trim control and monitoring assist with ride management and fuel efficiency.
