Sea Ray SDX 270 Boats For Sale

The Sea Ray SDX 270 is a 27-foot 2-inch bowrider built around a true deep-V hull with a 21-degree deadrise, carrying an 8-foot-6-inch beam that runs full-width all the way to the bow. That layout opens up bow seating for three or four people plus a deep cockpit with wrap-around lounges, making it a day boat aimed at sandbar trips, intercoastal cruising and watersports with family and friends. The hull is self-planing, settling flat on its own and absorbing chop well, which is part of why the SDX 270 stays a sought-after model among shoppers looking at boats for sale in this size class.

Buyers choosing the sterndrive SDX 270 get a 6.2 MAG MPI rated at 320 horsepower as standard, with an upgrade to an 8.2-liter 380-horsepower MerCruiser turning a Bravo Three X dual-prop drive. With the 8.2 installed and roughly a half tank aboard, the boat reaches a top speed of 50 mph, an impressive number for its weight. Dry weight is about 5,900 pounds, and fuel capacity is 65 gallons. A comfortable cruise sits around 32 mph at roughly 3,300 rpm, an economical setting where the boat runs flat, with 35 mph available trimmed down. The digital throttle and shift is fly-by-wire and shifts smoothly, and power steering keeps the wheel light through hard banking turns.

The Sea Ray SDX 270 OB swaps the drive for outboard power, with a 300-horsepower outboard standard and a Mercury V10 400-horsepower naturally aspirated motor as the maximum upgrade. This outboard version is rated as a yacht-certified vessel. Anyone searching for an SDX 270 outboard for sale should know the transom carries a deck-mounted telescoping swim ladder and an optional submersible swim platform that drops a few feet below the water for easy boarding. SeaDek decking on the platform is slip-resistant, and freshwater sprayers are fitted at both the transom and the bow.

At the helm the SDX 270 runs a digital dash with a single 9-inch Simrad NSX display standard and twin 9-inch screens optional. The displays handle chart plotting, depth and Mercury SmartCraft engine data including RPM, fuel consumption, speed and trim, and come preloaded with C-Map charts. The wheel tilts, the bolster flips up for standing visibility, and the curved windshield is wrapped to cut glare. Onboard systems include trim tabs for lateral stability, a power windlass anchor with remote, dual batteries on a switch, a Fusion stereo with six speakers and a subwoofer, plus USB-A, USB-C and inductive charging.

The cockpit is convertible, with adjustable backrests on the helm and companion seats that flip between forward- and rear-facing so passengers can join the group. Storage runs throughout: an in-floor compartment sized for a full set of water skis, a built-in cooler in both the cockpit and the bow, and a large below-deck bow compartment. An onboard head sits under the helm walkthrough, available as a pump-out or vacu-flush unit, with a sink alongside. Option bundles add the bow and cockpit teak tables, the entertainment package and a color-matched accent kit.

For the Sea Ray SDX 270 surf and watersports crowd, the electric folding tower is the popular choice over the optional ski-tow pylon, available in black or white and able to fold flat at the push of a button to clear low bridges. With the 8.2 sterndrive, the boat pulls riders up quickly and settles into about 25 mph at roughly 2,900 rpm for tubing and skiing. A large bimini shades the cockpit from windshield to the rear seating. When comparing an SDX 270 for sale, the main decision is sterndrive versus outboard power and which engine and bundle combination matches how you plan to use the boat.
