Sea Ray SPX 230: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sea Ray SPX 230 is the largest model in the SeaRay 40 XPX lineup, which also includes the 190 and 210 models. Available in both sterndrive and outboard configurations, the SPX 230 offers power options ranging from 250 to 300 horsepower. This model features a head compartment, optional seating arrangements, and a variety of comfort and performance enhancements designed to extend enjoyment on the water.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The cockpit serves as the primary gathering space, featuring L-shaped seating across the back and starboard sides with a depth of 35 inches. Standard port seating includes a bench and a swivel bucket seat, with an optional flip-back bench seat available. Beverage holders, connectivity ports, and an engine hatch release latch are conveniently located within the seating area. Storage is ample, including a 36-quart carry-on cooler beneath the aft fixed seating. The elevation package adds a forward-facing, folding water sports tower with a bimini top positioned six feet three inches above the deck, an elevated tow point, and wakeboard racks. The decking is covered with snap-in SeaDek non-skid material, with options for carpet, infinity-woven vinyl, or no covering. The walk-through aft features a battery switch at the entrance, storage under the forward step, and a small gate. The 24-inch swim platform also has the optional SeaDek covering and includes a standard undermount swim ladder, with an optional 16-inch wide manual flip submersible swim step secured by a magnetic catch. A large sun pad covers the engine hatch, enhanced by a flip seat back to create a two-across aft-facing seat alongside the sun pad. Unique to the SPX 230 is a port side compartment that can house a head, either a port-a-potty or pump-out, or be used for storage. Overhead clearance in this compartment is three feet eight inches, with sitting headroom of two feet four inches. The bow seating arrangement consists of twin forward-facing V-seats and a central aft-facing seat, with 31 inches from deck to cap rail. Padded bolsters, stainless steel grab handles, speakers, drink holders, and courtesy lights enhance comfort and convenience. Storage is available beneath all bow seats, and two of the boat's four six-inch cleats are positioned outboard.
Helm and Instrumentation
The helm features analog gauges with upgrade options to a 5-inch or 9-inch Simrad display, both offering vessel viewing instrumentation. The standard single-zone Fusion stereo can be upgraded to a Signature Series system with four speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer, and a five-channel amplifier. The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base, with ignition, bilge pump, and blower controls located to the right. The swivel bucket seat includes a flip-up bolster, and a beverage holder and connectivity ports are conveniently placed nearby. An angled footrest and courtesy light add to the helm's ergonomic design. However, the fire extinguisher's location could be improved for better accessibility.
Power and Performance
The SPX 230 measures 23 feet 6 inches in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 38 inches. The boat's empty weight is 4,372 pounds, with an estimated test weight of 5,202 pounds including 75 percent fuel and three people aboard. The standard engine is a 250 horsepower 4.5-liter MerCruiser paired with an Alpha outdrive, with an upgrade option to a 300 horsepower 6.2-liter MPI ECT engine featuring C-Core technology, a Bravo 3 outdrive, and digital throttle and shift. During testing with the upgraded 250 horsepower engine and Bravo 3 outdrive equipped with a 22.5 pitch prop, the boat reached a top speed of 43 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM. Best cruising speed was 22.2 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, achieving a fuel burn of six gallons per hour and a fuel economy of 3.7 miles per gallon, providing a range of 167 miles while maintaining a 10 percent fuel reserve from the 50-gallon tank. The boat planes in 4.5 seconds with an eight-degree bow rise, accelerates to 20 miles per hour in seven seconds, and reaches 30 miles per hour in 10.8 seconds. Handling is characterized by fingertip steering and excellent responsiveness, making it an engaging and enjoyable boat to drive. The hull performs well in choppy conditions, showing smooth transitions through waves without pounding or hull slap, and exhibits a 17-degree roll into turns without chine walk or prop ventilation. The boat does require gentle steering inputs during turns to avoid aggressive grab, ensuring passenger comfort.
Interior and Amenities
The SPX 230 provides comfortable seating with multiple social zones, including the cockpit, bow, and aft sun pad areas. The inclusion of a head compartment in the port side adds convenience for extended outings. Storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout the boat, supporting practical use and organization. The optional water sports tower and bimini top enhance versatility for recreational activities. Overall, the interior and amenities are designed to maximize enjoyment and functionality for day-long excursions.
