Overview
The Sea Ray SLX 260 Outboard is a 30-foot luxury performance boat designed for both comfort and capability. It features a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 19.1 inches, with an empty weight of 5,564 pounds. Powered by a 300 horsepower Mercury Verado outboard engine, this model offers a blend of modern technology and thoughtful design elements aimed at enhancing the boating experience.
Helm and Exterior Features
The helm station is equipped with twin Simrad multifunction displays fully integrated with boat switching and navigation systems. Practical design touches include an inductive charging pad and dedicated compartments for phones and tablets, allowing for organized storage without sacrificing cup holder space. Controls include LIMCO automatic trim tabs with both physical and digital switches, digital throttle and shift, and convenient features such as beverage holders and a rear cubby. Seating is provided by a high-rise bucket seat with quality upholstery, a single flip-up bolster, and easy-to-use swivel and slide controls. Forward on the deck, beneath a hatch, lies an anchor bundle complete with a quick windlass, anchor, rope, and chain. Additional exterior features include a fresh water washdown, integrated navigation and docking lights, and multiple cleats for secure mooring. Under the seating area, a removable storage caddy grants access to essential systems including house and engine start batteries, battery chargers, steering pump, fuel and water tanks, and the bilge pump.
Power and Performance
The SLX 260 is powered by a single 300 horsepower Mercury Verado engine, available in black or white, driving a 14.6 by 19 Revolution 4 propeller. During testing with an estimated weight of 6,457 pounds (including fuel and three passengers), the boat achieved a top speed of 48.2 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM. The optimal cruising speed was recorded at 26.8 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM, with a fuel consumption of 11 gallons per hour, yielding a fuel efficiency of 2.4 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 165 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 75-gallon tank. Acceleration metrics showed planing achieved in 3.9 seconds, reaching 20 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 12.3 seconds. The boat maintains planing down to 17.6 miles per hour. Notably, the vessel rises onto plane with a nearly level attitude, preserving the operator's sightline to the horizon for enhanced comfort and control. A slight port-side list occurs initially due to propeller torque but is quickly corrected by the automatic trim system. Handling characteristics are notably docile, with smooth, comfortable turns that provide a controlled slide rather than aggressive banking, ensuring passenger comfort regardless of speed or maneuvering intensity.
Conclusion
The Sea Ray SLX 260 Outboard combines modern technology, thoughtful design, and strong performance in a compact luxury package. Its well-integrated helm features, practical storage solutions, and refined handling qualities make it a versatile choice for recreational boaters seeking both comfort and capability. While this review focuses on the boat's performance and operational features, additional luxury appointments and amenities are covered in a separate presentation.
