2013 Sea Ray 300 SLX Video Tours
Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Sea Ray 300 SLX is a thoughtfully designed bow rider that combines upscale features with practical functionality. This model appeals to enthusiasts of spacious and versatile day boats, offering a balance of performance, comfort, and refined materials throughout the vessel.
Operational Features and Helm Design
Operational conveniences are well integrated into the 300 SLX. The battery switch is discreetly located behind a panel in the port bulwark, just aft of the port hand seat. The engine hatch is electrically actuated via a helm-mounted switch, providing a one-foot four and a half inch opening for routine checks. For more extensive maintenance, a removable pin allows the hatch to open fully. The engine compartment is spacious, accommodating twin engine configurations with ample side clearance and forward storage for tools and supplies. Safety is enhanced by a standard automatic fire suppression system, and the compartment is gel coated and insulated to reduce noise. The helm features a flat surface for personal items, with SmartCraft analog instrumentation flanking the console. The starboard tachometer includes selectable data such as depth, fuel consumption, and trim level, and can be upgraded to a vessel view display. A standard Garmin GPS 640 is centrally mounted. The leather-wrapped, tilt-adjustable three-spoke steering wheel complements the multi-tone, non-glare vinyl helm console. Below, waterproof toggle switches illuminate when active and are guarded against accidental activation. The standard helm seat is extra wide, well-padded, and includes a large flip-up bolster for extended comfort, with additional storage beneath. A double-wide helm seat is available as an option.
Dimensions and Performance
The 300 SLX measures 29 feet 6 inches in length overall, with a beam of 9 feet 8 inches and a draft of 38 inches. The test boat, equipped with a single 380 horsepower 8.2L Mercruiser engine paired with a Bravo 3 outdrive, weighed 8,377 pounds including two people and one-third fuel. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 46.8 miles per hour at 4,750 RPM, with a fuel consumption of 31.75 gallons per hour, resulting in a range of approximately 172 miles. The optimal cruising speed was identified at 26.1 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, burning 10.95 gallons per hour, allowing for an 11-hour cruise and a range of 279 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The vessel planes in 5.5 seconds and reaches 30 miles per hour in 11 seconds. Twin engine options include pairs of 260 horsepower 5-liter engines or 300 horsepower 350 Mag engines, with the possibility of adding the Axia joystick system for enhanced maneuverability.
Handling and Ride Quality
Visibility from the helm is excellent, with the windshield frame positioned well above the operator's line of sight, allowing an unobstructed forward view. The large bolster further elevates the operator's position. Upon acceleration, the bow rises approximately 12 degrees before settling quickly, maintaining clear horizon visibility. The boat exhibits a comfortable 10-degree roll during turns without excessive leaning that would displace passengers. Deceleration causes the stern to settle first while the bow remains below the horizon line. Trim adjustments are minimal, with a slight increase needed to shift spray aft when on plane. Maneuvering is intuitive, with recommended trim reduction before initiating turns. Overall, the 300 SLX offers a fun and engaging experience on the water, combining comfort with responsive handling.
Noise Reduction and Comfort
Sea Ray has incorporated QuietRide technology into the 300 SLX to significantly reduce onboard noise levels. This includes a proprietary tuned transom, specialized interlaminate materials, precise fit and finish to minimize vibration, and full beam bulkheads with acoustical insulation. These engineering efforts result in a noticeably quieter environment at the helm and throughout the boat, where wind noise becomes the dominant sound. The reduced noise contributes to lower operator and passenger fatigue and facilitates casual conversation even at cruising speeds.
Conclusion
The Sea Ray 300 SLX is a well-executed bow rider that excels in performance, comfort, and noise management. Its versatile design suits a variety of activities, from leisurely anchoring with friends to towing water toys or cruising to waterfront destinations. With thoughtful operational features, strong single-engine performance, and refined ride quality, the 300 SLX represents a compelling choice for day boat enthusiasts.
