Sea Ray SPX Boats For Sale

Sea Ray SPX boats for sale span three sizes — the SPX 190, the SPX 210 and the SPX 230 — all built as American-style bowriders aimed at family day boating in protected waters. Sea Ray dominates the market for boats under 40 feet, and the SPX line carries that reputation with a layout built around seating and entertaining rather than fishing, though the wet, self-draining lockers make light fishing possible too. These are inshore, fair-weather boats designed to carry a family and friends out for a day of swimming, towing tubes and waterskiing, picnicking and lounging at a sandbar.

The Sea Ray SPX 210 is a 21-foot bowrider offered as an outboard or an inboard. The outboard SPX 210 takes a choice of Mercury 200 or 250 horsepower, and with the 250 it reached a top speed of 52 mph. It runs flat in chop, throws spray clear of the windscreen and stays dry. The inboard SPX 210 uses a 4.5-litre MerCruiser V6 sterndrive in its 250 horsepower form, drinking roughly 30 litres per hour at a 20-knot cruise and up to about 125 litres per hour at wide-open throttle.

The Sea Ray SPX 230 runs a 200 horsepower Mercury outboard and seats eight people. It cruises comfortably at 27 to 28 knots burning around 35 litres per hour, settles at 26 knots on active trim at 32 litres per hour, and tops out near 35 knots at 67 litres per hour. A full day from the marina to lunch and back typically uses 30 to 40 litres of fuel. The 230 SPX also carries a head, a four-step telescopic swim ladder, a powder-coated black aluminium target arch with wakeboard storage, and twin batteries that isolate the engine from the house circuit.

The helm carries a 9-inch Simrad display for chartplotting and engine data, a Fusion audio system with multiple speakers, and a Mercury throttle with active trim that sets the engine angle automatically for getting on plane. A throttle-only button prevents accidental gear engagement. The steering wheel tilts, and the helm seat slides fore and aft, swivels to face aft and carries a flip-up bolster for standing, perched or seated driving.

On the outboard SPX 210, deleting the inboard engine box opens a large aft storage area, and the layout adds a rear sun pad, four insulated storage hatches, a ski locker and space for a 25-quart cooler. It is rated for 12 people. Snap-in carpet or an optional SeaDek floor makes washdown easy, the standard bimini can be upgraded to a fixed sport top, and the bow opens to a walkthrough with a filler cushion that converts to a full sun lounge.

Build quality runs to 316-grade stainless steel cleats, hinges and rub-rail inserts, with an automatic fire-extinguishing system in the engine bay. A high-spec inboard SPX 210 was priced around £73,000 including UK VAT, ordered with options such as the elevation package (ski tower), the captain's package (bimini, bow filler cushion, cockpit tonneau cover and cockpit table), a submersible bathing platform near £1,700, full SeaDek around £2,000, black gel coat and the digital dash.
