Sea Ray 26: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sea Ray SLX 260 Surf is a 26-foot model designed to emphasize wake sports while maintaining comfort for casual cruising. It is the third in the SLX 260 lineup and features an innovative forward-facing sterndrive that positions the propeller 26 inches forward and away from the surfer, enhancing safety without sacrificing performance. This dual-purpose design aims to deliver an exhilarating wake surfing experience alongside a smooth ride for everyday boating.
Wake Surfing Technology and Helm Features
At the heart of the SLX 260 Surf's wake surfing capability is a single 350 horsepower Mercury MerCruiser 6.2-liter engine paired with a forward-facing Bravo Four sterndrive equipped with contra-rotating dual props. This dual-prop configuration increases prop surface area for better water grip, resulting in improved torque for faster hole shots and enhanced fuel efficiency. Above the waterline, the boat includes a standard electrically actuated water sports tower with top and side-mounted Sherpa tow points, facilitating easy positioning for riders. The integrated Bimini top provides shade for the captain and spotters, and optional upgrades include swiveling board racks and Fusion Signature Series tower speakers. The helm is equipped with dual nine-inch Simrad touchscreens featuring a custom Smart Tow interface that allows the captain to customize settings such as launch acceleration, towing speed, wave height, pocket length, and rider side preference. The Mercury SmartCraft digital throttle and shift system coordinates electric surf tabs and propulsion, enabling the captain to focus on navigation while spotters monitor rider safety. Additional helm features include active trim control, CZone digital switching, chartplotter, depth finder, and illuminated weatherproof chrome switches. An optional Entertainment Bundle upgrades the dash with inductive charging for multiple devices, supporting the Mercury VesselView mobile app for real-time vessel data.
Dimensions and Performance
The SLX 260 Surf measures 25 feet 9 inches in length overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 48 inches with the sterndrive down. Although a full independent performance review has not been conducted, Sea Ray reports cruising speeds between 28 and 32 miles per hour and top speeds ranging from 44 to 46 miles per hour. The boat has a dry weight of 6,198 pounds and a fuel capacity of 75 gallons, complemented by a 14-gallon freshwater tank. When fully optioned, the vessel's weight increases to approximately 7,600 pounds.
Exterior Design and Deck Amenities
The bow area offers multiple options including a boarding ladder or an anchor bundle featuring a stainless steel anchor and electric windlass. Seating in the bow is arranged in a U-shape with high-quality materials and attractive stitching. Forward-facing loungers include folding armrests, storage recesses, and strategically placed cup holders. Underneath the loungers is storage space, with the starboard seat lifting to reveal a large compartment designed to hold optional sun pad filler cushions as well as teak tables for the bow and cockpit. The windshield is engineered to align with the horizon when the boat is on plane, and an air dam is positioned below the folding center windshield. The starboard console houses a dedicated trash can and remote ignition switch, while the port dash features built-in storage suitable for marine safety wristbands. Optional upgrades include a sink with storage and a head compartment. Seating in the cockpit includes bucket seats for the captain and observer with flip-up bolsters, forward and aft sliding capabilities, and swivel functionality to engage with the cockpit area. All seating is enhanced with branded embroidery and consistent stitch patterns. Additional cockpit seating includes a small bench with storage for soft-sided coolers and a deep L-shaped lounge with gas-assisted strut lift cushions revealing further storage. Cup holders, USB outlets, and grab handles are thoughtfully placed throughout. The engine compartment is accessible from the cockpit and is finished for easy maintenance access to batteries, filters, and pumps.
Transom and Swim Platform Features
The transom features a large sun pad that serves as a social area or preparation space for surfers, complete with cup holders, storage cubbies, USB ports, and music controls. Beneath the aft-most cushion is an ice-hold cooler or additional storage for fenders and lines. On the port side, a sizable storage compartment provides easy access to water sports gear and inflatables. The swim platform includes a manual submersible swim step to facilitate reboarding, a tow hook, and an optional stern shower. Performance decking is available as an upgrade, enhancing comfort and safety in this popular gathering spot. Ambient courtesy lighting is integrated throughout the boat, with an optional tower projector that casts the Sea Ray logo onto the deck. Multicolor LED lighting above and below the waterline can be adjusted with the touch of a button, allowing for extended enjoyment during evening cruises.
Conclusion
The Sea Ray SLX 260 Surf exemplifies a versatile design that caters to both water sports enthusiasts and casual cruisers. Its advanced wake surfing technology, thoughtful helm integrations, and well-appointed interior and exterior amenities create a balanced boating experience. While a comprehensive performance evaluation is forthcoming, the SLX 260 Surf presents a compelling option for those seeking a boat that seamlessly blends exhilarating wake surfing capabilities with comfortable cruising features.
