Sea Ray SDX 230 Boats For Sale

The Sea Ray SDX 230 is a 23-foot bowrider built to entertain, with a 13-person capacity and a layout aimed at families who cruise, sunbathe, and run water sports. The 2026 model measures 23 feet 6 inches overall with an 8-foot-6-inch beam and a dry weight just over 4,400 pounds. It carries 60 gallons of fuel and drafts 35 inches trimmed down and 22 inches trimmed up. Sea Ray offers the SDX 230 in both outboard and stern drive configurations, and choosing the outboard frees up the area where a stern drive engine would sit for extra aft storage.

The outboard SDX 230 comes standard with a 200-horsepower Mercury, with a 250-horsepower upgrade available. The top option is a 250-horsepower V8 Mercury Verado four-stroke, finished in white to match the hull, paired with SmartCraft digital throttle for smooth shifting. The hull is set up to ride well in rough conditions, and the boat is sold in gel coat colors including Horizon blue and a black hull side with white bottom.

At the helm, the standard setup is a single 9-inch Simrad NSS display, upgradeable to twin 9-inch Simrad displays with SmartCraft technology. Equipment includes push-button start, active trim, a trim tab system, a tilt-adjust steering wheel, and a wide bolster seat for two. There are USB-A and USB-C outlets plus a 12-volt outlet, recessed cup holders, and a cubby for keys or a wallet. The audio system uses a Fusion stereo with Bluetooth and up to six or eight speakers, controllable from the head unit, the Simrad, or a companion-side stereo remote.

A standout for a 23-foot boat is the built-in head compartment. On the 2026 design, the windshield is offset to an asymmetric walkthrough, which pushes the head into the V of the hull for more interior room. The compartment has a locking door, a sliding top for ventilation, and a pump-out head with a 2.6-gallon holding tank. Cushions can be added to create a sleeper section or day bed, useful for getting kids out of the sun.

The cockpit is arranged for entertaining, with an L-shaped seating layout and captain and co-captain seats that slide fore and aft. The seatbacks are reversible, so passengers can face forward while underway or rearward at anchor, and pop-up bolsters on both sides turn the seats into leaning posts when running. Storage runs throughout: in-floor compartments for life jackets and gear, a large aft compartment under the convertible sun lounger, battery storage to the left of the sun pad, and dedicated storage for teak tables with the comfort bundle. The transom features a full-beam swim platform, CD deck non-slip flooring, a top-deck retractable ladder, a charging port, and a walkthrough door to keep children and pets inside.

Up front, the offset windshield reconfigures the bow into double-wide wraparound seating with underseat storage for coolers, stainless steel grab rails, cup holders, phone recesses, USB-A and USB-C ports, a built-in cooler, and a dedicated anchor locker with cleat. The bow converts to a single full-length sun pad, and an optional bow ladder eases beaching access. Notable options to weigh when shopping the Sea Ray SDX 230 for sale include the electric folding water sports tower with Bimini top, the essentials bundle with bow and cockpit covers and fender clips, snap-in luxury woven vinyl flooring, and the entertainment bundle with inductive phone charging.
