    Sea Ray SPX 190: BoatTEST Review

    Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

    Overview

    The Sea Ray 19 SPX Select is designed as an entry-level boat that caters to first-time buyers seeking an upscale fit and finish combined with ease of handling. Its 8 foot 4 inch beam is efficiently utilized by narrowing the gunnels, which creates additional cockpit space and enhances versatility in seating arrangements.

    Exterior Design and Deck Layout

    The cockpit features an angled entrance that minimizes intrusion into seating areas. On the port side, a two-across seat accommodates both forward and aft-facing positions, equipped with wraparound bolsters and a removable backrest. The forward cushion can be stored beneath the aft cushion to convert the seating configuration. The stern seating comfortably fits three across, with a small recessed storage area adjacent to a stainless beverage holder. The cockpit depth of three feet enhances safety. A new halibut seat, part of an upgraded package, includes a soft-touch back with wraparound sides, swiveling, sliding, and a flip-up bolster, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into the cockpit social area. Forward, the bow seating consists of two lounge seats with wraparound bolsters and a filler cushion that converts the area into a sun pad. Steps to the forward cap rail are concealed beneath the forward cushion. Additional sunbathing space is available on a sun pad atop the engine compartment, measuring 2 feet 3 inches by 5 feet 6 inches, with a swim platform extending 1 foot 10 inches from the transom. An optional collapsible tower with integrated bimini provides shade and an elevated tow point 6 feet 6 inches above the deck.

    Storage and Amenities

    Storage solutions include a built-in insulated cooler beneath the aft seat, with additional storage alongside. A covered carry-on cooler is located at the cockpit walkthrough, featuring gutters that channel water to a single drain. The sole storage hatch, secured by turn-and-lock latches, measures 47 inches by 17 inches and is 9 inches deep, though lift-and-lock, lockable latches would be preferable. A lockable glove storage box above the port console protects valuables and houses the stereo system. Side access doors provide entry to the console interior, and bow storage compartments beneath the seats are carpeted, mirroring the opposite side. Upscale touches include wood trim highlights on the port side and helm, as well as optional vinyl weave snap-in carpet over the non-skid decking.

    Trim Packages and Helm Features

    The 19 SPX Select offers four trim packages. The captain's package includes a digital depth finder, battery switch, and premium helm seat. The select package upgrades upholstery with pleated bulwarks, bead welting, contrast stitching, custom embroidery, LED lighting, a premium dash, and stainless steel components. Optional C-deck non-skid matting provides a teak appearance without heat absorption. The helm features a hand-stitched vinyl visor with UV-resistant contrast stitching over three gauges, a wooden leather-wrapped steering wheel matching the wood trim, pleated bulwarks, padded armrest, stainless drink holder, and accessory plug. A stainless grab handle and stereo remote are conveniently positioned near the swim ladder.

    Power and Performance

    Standard power comes from a 135 horsepower 3-liter MerCruiser, with options up to 220 horsepower and a 200 horsepower 4.5-liter MerCruiser, as tested. The engine compartment is designed for easy maintenance, featuring a complete maintenance schedule on the top panel with a QR code linking to type-specific instructional videos. A shelf adjacent to the engine bay provides storage for oil and rags. On the water, the 200 horsepower 4.5-liter MerCruiser paired with a 19-inch Black Max propeller achieved a top speed of 47.5 miles per hour. Optimal fuel economy was recorded at 2,500 RPM and 24.2 miles per hour, consuming 4.6 gallons per hour, allowing for nearly six hours of operation and a range of 142 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The boat planes in 3.7 seconds, accelerates to 30 miles per hour in 5.8 seconds, and reaches 30 miles per hour in 8.7 seconds. Handling is responsive and comfortable, with the boat rolling 19 degrees into turns without excessive grip or chine walk. It maintains excellent control authority and responds promptly to steering and throttle inputs. The hull slices cleanly through waves with minimal spray, and freeboard measures 29 inches at the bow and 33 inches aft, contributing to safety.

    Conclusion

    The Sea Ray 19 SPX Select is a premium-quality boat designed for entry-level boaters who desire upscale features and versatile functionality. Its efficient use of space, refined appointments, and strong performance make it well-suited for size-restricted lakes and a variety of recreational activities. The availability of both sterndrive and outboard power options adds to its versatility. Overall, the 19 SPX Select balances style, safety, and enjoyable handling, making it a compelling choice for new boat owners.
