Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The SeaRay 270 Sundeck is a versatile and well-designed boat that stands out primarily due to its outboard power configuration and spacious layout. Powered by a 300 horsepower Mercury Verado outboard engine, this model is unique in the Sundeck lineup for utilizing Verado power while maintaining full swim platform functionality. The design emphasizes ample storage and open space, making it ideal for carrying multiple passengers comfortably.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The 270 Sundeck features a thoughtfully arranged exterior with multiple seating options that enhance social interaction and comfort. The cockpit includes L-shaped seating with an optional table, which converts the area into an alfresco dining space. Opposing seats can be converted to maximize open space, and half-facing seats with adjustable elevation add to passenger comfort when the boat is stationary. The bow area boasts wraparound seating with flip-down armrests and a pedestal table option, creating a luxurious lounge space. Storage is abundant throughout the boat, with clever touches such as a flip-down step for easy pier access and both bow and stern reboarding ladders. Additional amenities include fresh water showers at the bow and transom, and a standard tower with an optional water sports tower and bimini top that covers the entire cockpit.

Helm and Controls

The helm area reflects a raised level of fit and finish, featuring a vinyl-stitched brow with contrasting colors, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, and toggle switches that illuminate when activated. The horn is a traditional, well-separated unit rather than an electronic buzzer. Both the captain and observer benefit from double-wide helm seats with flip-up bolsters, with the captain's seat also offering a sliding feature and a molded footrest for added comfort and control.

Power and Performance

Equipped with a 300 horsepower Mercury Verado outboard, the 270 Sundeck delivers strong and smooth performance. During testing, the boat reached a top speed of 47.5 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM, consuming 29.8 gallons per hour. The most economical cruising speed was 27 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, which reduced fuel consumption to 9.4 gallons per hour and allowed for a range of approximately 168 miles over 6.2 hours. The boat accelerates quickly, achieving planing speed in just 4.5 seconds with a manageable bow rise that does not obstruct visibility. Handling is confident and comfortable, with the boat leaning 18 degrees into turns without any unsettling motions. It performs well in mild chop and swells, providing a stable and comfortable ride suitable for guests who may be less experienced with boating.

Conclusion

The SeaRay 270 Sundeck impresses with its combination of outboard power, functional layout, and ample storage. The use of a Mercury Verado outboard engine enhances both performance and interior space, allowing for a versatile and comfortable boating experience. The boat's design supports socializing and entertaining, while its handling and ride quality make it suitable for a variety of water conditions. Overall, the 270 Sundeck offers a well-rounded package that meets the needs of those seeking a capable and enjoyable day boat.
