2026 Sea Ray SLX 280

The 2026 Sea Ray SLX 280 is a 28-foot sterndrive bowrider built on a fiberglass hull. It's powered by a single Mercury MerCruiser 8.2L MAG HO engine producing 430 horsepower, paired with a Bravo Three X drive and Digital Throttle & Shift controls for responsive acceleration and watersports capability. The hull incorporates Sea Ray's Quiet Ride™ technology—specialized construction and design that reduce noise and vibration for a smoother, quieter experience underway.

The helm features dual Simrad NSX touchscreen displays integrated with SmartCraft Connect engine data and CZone digital switching. The deck is organized around social spaces: a U-shaped bow lounge with seating, an expansive cockpit with deep ergonomic seating, and a swivel helm bucket seat that rotates to face the social area. A massive transom sunpad includes an integrated cooler.

Storage is built throughout the deck in seamless compartments designed to keep clutter minimal. A fiberglass hardtop, Fusion audio system with premium speakers, and an integrated swim platform with optional submersible swim step are included. A fully enclosed port-side compartment provides storage or can be upgraded to serve as a head. The boat measures 28 feet in length with a 9-foot beam.
