2026 Sea Ray SLX 280

The Sea Ray SLX 280 is a 28-foot fiberglass bowrider powered by a single 430-horsepower MerCruiser engine, capable of reaching 38 knots and cruising at around 23 knots. The boat combines open-water performance with a well-conceived layout designed for comfort and entertaining.

The cockpit features deep ergonomic seating and dedicated storage integrated throughout. The bow sunpad provides a relaxed seating area, while the expanded cockpit accommodates groups with multiple seating zones. A broad swim platform with an optional submersible step facilitates water entry, and a transom locker plus floor compartment offer storage for inflatables and gear. The transom sunpad includes an under-seat compartment suitable for ice storage.

The boat includes one head and is available with optional upgrades including a Power Tower for weather protection, a drawer-style refrigerator, an end table with inductive charging, and a Power Tower for sun and weather coverage. Storage solutions blend seamlessly into the design, with compartments serving both practical and aesthetic purposes.
