Sea Ray 260 Sundeck: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The SeaRay 260 Sundeck is a versatile vessel designed to combine the spaciousness typical of deck boats with the sleek styling of sport boats. This model aims to offer ample room for socializing and recreational activities while maintaining agile handling and performance characteristics suitable for water sports.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

Boarding the 260 Sundeck from the stern reveals two aft-facing seats positioned before an extended swim platform. These seats feature contoured bases for comfort, with storage accessible beneath the port side seat. The seat bases are supported by a hard fiberglass structure. The swim platform includes a rubberized non-skid inlay, which can be optionally replaced with teak for enhanced aesthetics. Entry to the cockpit is located on the starboard side, where insulated storage is integrated into the deck. To port, an L-shaped seating arrangement provides additional comfort, with engine access available beneath the aft seat. The transom is equipped with a standard shower connected to a 20-gallon water tank. Additional exterior features include a wet bar on the starboard side, which accommodates a sink for washing and sandwich preparation, concealed stereo equipment for protection against the elements, and a battery box situated near the swim platform storage compartment. Safety is enhanced by an optional automatic discharge fire extinguisher mounted on the aft bulkhead. The bow area is notably spacious due to the beam extending far forward, featuring two large loungers with armrests and storage underneath, a built-in self-draining insulated cooler, a third pull-out sprayer, and a concealed four-step beach reboarding ladder with an anchor locker beneath. The boat exhibits extensive use of stainless steel fittings throughout its exterior.

Interior Features and Amenities

The helm station is designed with functionality in mind, incorporating SmartCraft gauges that reduce dashboard clutter and improve operational clarity. The onboard head compartment offers 4 feet 5 inches of overhead clearance and includes a stainless steel latch with a magnetic catch. It is equipped with a sink featuring a pull-out sprayer, storage compartments, and an opening port light for ventilation. The standard head is a port-a-potty, with optional upgrades available for a pump-out head or a vacuum flush head paired with a 10-gallon holding tank.

Power and Performance

Our test boat was outfitted with the optional 300 horsepower MerCruiser 350 Magnum engine paired with a Bravo 3 outdrive, although the standard powerplant is a 260 horsepower MerCruiser 5.0-liter MPI engine. The 260 Sundeck measures 26 feet 4 inches in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 38 inches. The vessel's empty weight is 5,168 pounds, with a test weight of 5,868 pounds including 40% fuel and two occupants. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 46.9 miles per hour at 5,290 RPM, consuming fuel at a rate of 23.6 gallons per hour, which translates to a range of approximately 116 miles. The most efficient cruising speed was recorded at 23 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, with a fuel burn of 7.2 gallons per hour, allowing for over eight hours of operation and a range of 186 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration performance was notable, with planing achieved in 3.4 seconds, 20 miles per hour reached in 5.7 seconds, 30 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, and 40 miles per hour in 12.6 seconds.

Handling Characteristics

When accelerating, the 260 Sundeck initially exhibits a bow-high attitude of 17 degrees, though the helm's forward position ensures clear visibility over the bow. Upon planing, the bow settles to a 5-degree elevation, with the seated line of sight positioned just beneath the windshield frame. Adjusting the trim upward shifts spray aft and increases speed, but excessive trim can cause propeller ventilation. The boat's handling is responsive and agile, reflecting its sport boat heritage. It leans approximately 19 degrees into turns, with slight sliding at sub-full speeds that enhances passenger comfort by reducing lateral forces. At full throttle, the vessel digs into turns more aggressively, necessitating caution for passenger stability. When reducing power, the boat settles back to a level attitude smoothly.

Conclusion

The SeaRay 260 Sundeck successfully blends spacious accommodations with sporty handling, making it suitable for both social outings and active water sports. Its thoughtful design features, comfortable seating, and efficient powertrain contribute to a well-rounded boating experience. The optional water sports tower with wakeboard racks could further enhance its appeal for enthusiasts. Overall, the 260 Sundeck presents a compelling option for those seeking versatility and performance in a mid-sized recreational boat.
