Overview
The Sea Ray SLX 260 Outboard is a new luxury sport boat model designed to offer an elevated platform for entertaining and extended days on the water. Developed by Sea Ray's first all-women design team, this model incorporates the brand's signature design language first seen on the 370 Sundancer, including the distinctive S-shear line, center crease with integrated logo, and forward jawline. The boat emphasizes comfort, style, and functionality for cruising and coving.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The cockpit of the SLX 260 Outboard is spacious and inviting, featuring 30 inches of separation between the two main seats, wrap-around seating to port and stern, and a bench seat to starboard with storage underneath for soft-sided coolers. Innovative design elements include a removable storage caddy beneath the seats with guttering to channel water away, lumbar supports for added comfort, and 17 beverage holders strategically placed throughout the boat. The port side observer seat offers swivel, slide, and flip-up bolster functionality with conveniently located controls. Integrated speakers are discreetly installed throughout the vessel, complemented by courtesy-lit beverage holders and multiple grab handles for safety and convenience.
Functional Features and Safety
The helm area includes a lockable glove box and the advanced First Mate safety system, which detects if someone goes overboard, points to their location, and automatically shuts down the engine to prevent accidents. The head compartment features a vacuum flush toilet, sink, and upgraded decking with optional C deck material available in brown or gray. Storage is ample, with a total volume 24 cubic feet greater than the previous model, including a large index storage compartment with gas struts and gasketed sealing for protection against water intrusion.
Power Tower and Shade Options
The boat is equipped with a second-generation power tower featuring opening T-tops that are collapsible via controls located on the starboard bulwarks or at the helm panel. This design allows operation of the boat even with the tower fully lowered, facilitating passage under low bridges or providing shelter during rain. Additionally, a manually deployed pop-up sunshade extends from the bow to cover the entire length of the boat, offering protection from sun and rain without compromising speed or functionality.
Bow and Stern Comfort and Storage
Access to the bow is through a 19-inch walkthrough to the starboard console, which includes a door to a trash receptacle and a single-piece air dam with a closable walkthrough windshield for added comfort in cooler conditions. The bow seating area is richly appointed with 25 inches of knee clearance, 15-inch high bulwarks, fully upholstered seating with hidden speakers, beverage holders, and flip-down armrests on both sides. Extensive storage is available under seats and in the console, complemented by in-deck storage. Leather-wrapped handrails add a refined touch. The stern features additional in-deck storage, a step for easy disembarking, and a spacious swim platform measuring 40 by 63 inches. The swim platform includes an integrated cubby for personal items, connectivity ports, a stereo remote control, insulated self-draining storage for ice, and a four-step reboarding ladder with grab handles for safety.
Optional Bundles and Upgrades
Sea Ray offers several bundled option packages to simplify customization and enhance the boating experience. The Comfort Bundle includes cockpit and bow tables plus a filler cushion for the bow seating. The Entertainment Bundle upgrades the Fusion Stereo system and adds an inductive charging station at the helm. The Essentials Bundle provides cockpit and tonneau covers, fender clips, a flagpole, and Sea Deck material for the swim platform and head decking. The Lighting Bundle features LED RGBW color-changing lights for the bow, cockpit, underwater through-hulls, docking lights, and an illuminated Sea Ray badge, with an optional power tower upgrade that projects the Sea Ray logo onto the cockpit floor. A Water System Bundle adds a bow washdown, pull-out sprayer at the transom, and a pressurized water system.
Conclusion
The Sea Ray SLX 260 Outboard is a thoughtfully designed luxury sport boat that combines upscale features, innovative safety systems, and functional design elements to create an exceptional platform for entertaining and extended cruising. With its spacious layout, extensive storage, and user-friendly bundled options, it offers both comfort and convenience.
