Sea Ray SDX 270 OB: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The SeaRay 270 Sundeck is a versatile and thoughtfully designed boat that emphasizes both performance and social functionality. A key highlight of this model is its outboard power configuration, featuring a 300 horsepower Mercury Verado engine. This setup is unique in the Sundeck category, allowing the boat to maintain ample deck space and swim platform usability while delivering strong performance.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The 270 Sundeck offers a spacious and comfortable exterior layout designed to accommodate multiple passengers. The cockpit features L-shaped seating with an optional table that can be converted into an alfresco dining area. Opposing seats are convertible to enhance the social atmosphere, and half-facing seats with adjustable elevation add to passenger comfort when the boat is stationary. The bow area includes wraparound seating with flip-down armrests and the option to install a pedestal table, creating another inviting social space. Storage is abundant throughout the boat, with thoughtful touches such as turn and lock latches, a flip-down step for easy pier access, and both bow and stern reboarding ladders. Freshwater showers are conveniently located at the bow and transom. A water sports tower is available as an option, and while the standard tower is included, a full cockpit-covering bimini top is also offered.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is designed with both comfort and functionality in mind. It features 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 mechanical type, distinct from electronic buzzers, and is well positioned for easy access. Both the captain and observer benefit from double-wide helm seats with flip-up bolsters, and the captain’s seat includes a slide feature and a molded footrest for added comfort.
Power and Performance
Powered by a single 300 horsepower Mercury Verado outboard engine, the 270 Sundeck delivers impressive performance metrics. 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 cruise speed was found at 3,500 RPM, achieving 27 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 9.4 gallons per hour, allowing for a range of approximately 168 miles over 6.2 hours. Acceleration is quick and smooth, with planing achieved in 4.5 seconds and minimal bow rise that does not impair visibility. The boat handles well in various conditions, including mild chop and swells, providing a comfortable and stable ride. It leans 18 degrees into turns, offering predictable and balanced handling without excessive side-to-side motion.
Conclusion
The SeaRay 270 Sundeck stands out for its clever integration of outboard power that enhances both performance and onboard functionality. Its spacious and well-appointed deck layout, combined with ample storage and comfortable seating arrangements, make it an excellent choice for entertaining and day cruising. The boat’s handling characteristics and ride comfort further underscore its suitability for a range of conditions, particularly in protected waters. Overall, the 270 Sundeck offers a compelling blend of power, practicality, and passenger comfort.
