Sea Ray to Debut Multiple New Boats at Fort Lauderdale Show

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Sea Ray will debut the latest new models in its expanding next-generation SDX lineup, the SDX 250 Outboard and SDX 270 Outboard, at its in-water display at the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), Oct. 30–Nov. 03. Presenting the ultimate in versatility, the SDX 250 Outboard and SDX 270 Outboard, now available, blend capacity, comfort and capability to provide endless fun. Also at FLIBS, Sea Ray will showcase a sneak peek of the SDX 230 Outboard and display SPX, SLX and Sundancer models from its robust 2025 lineup.

“Our newest models expand our SDX Series offerings with outboard propulsion and embody the latest advancements in innovation and design.” said Keith Yunger, Sea Ray president. “At the Fort Lauderdale show, we will also display our expansive model year line-up and continue the celebration of Sea Ray’s 65th anniversary.”

From entertaining to tubing, the SDX 250 Outboard and SDX 270 Outboard feature premium amenities, optimized seating and abundant storage to suit any aquatic activity. Both cockpits deliver unrivaled comfort for all-day enjoyment with plush L-shaped bench seating, adjustable helm and port companion seats, an integrated cooler compartment, and optional table (available with the Comfort Bundle). With practicality and convenience in mind, multiple storage areas have been incorporated throughout the vessels – like a transom in-floor compartment with drainage for stowing wet gear and a starboard compartment that holds large, bulky items. The starboard compartment can also be upgraded to a head for uninterrupted boating.

Offering room to spread out, the oversized bows provide generous U-shaped lounge-style seating and an integrated bow cooler compartment to store drinks and snacks. Additionally, the SDX 270 Outboard is equipped with a standard bow ladder, and with the optional Anchor Bundle, the bow can be enhanced with a stainless-steel anchor and windlass. At the transom, the SDX 250 Outboard and SDX 270 Outboard feature a convertible sunpad with a fold-down backrest, swim platform with a deck-mounted ladder, and optional ski tow pylon for easy watersports setup.

Both vessels offer impressive outboard performance and power along with the latest technologies for effortless captaining. The SDX 250 Outboard is propelled by a Mercury® 250 Verado® V8 engine with SmartCraft® Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) controls. The SDX 270 Outboard is powered by a Mercury 300 Verado V8 engine with SmartCraft DTS. Technology highlights include a Digital Dash with a standard 9″ Simrad® NSX® touchscreen display, SmartCraft Connect, Active Trim control & monitoring, optional inductive charging stations (available with the Entertainment Bundle) and a Fusion® audio system.

Boaters can also customize their SDX 250 Outboard or SDX 270 Outboard to match their preferences with an assortment of bundles and options.
