A Cut Above: The New Sea Ray® 210 SLX®

Knoxville, Tenn. – Jan. 4, 2012 – Not all bowriders are created equal. Case in point: Sea Ray’s luxurious SLX series. These five boats ranging in length from 21 to 30 feet include deluxe features such as premium soft-touch dashboards with double-top stitching, treatments in wood, SmartCraft® diagnostic instrumentation, and chrome switches and levers. And that’s just their helms! Thrilling performance comes from powerful MerCruiser® engines and precision deep-V hulls. Simply put, these exceptional sport boats are made to enhance the owner’s image as well as their confidence and enjoyment on the water.

Replacing the previous 210 SLX, Sea Ray’s new 210 SLX model fits right into the fleet. It comes with impressive standard appointments, a meticulously crafted interior and sleek external styling — creating a dynamic mix of form and function. Take, for example, the deep, roomy bow area with plush cushions that are hinged to allow for noticeable convenience when accessing or stowing gear. The floor here and in the cockpit is finished fiberglass for enhanced structural integrity and longevity, and snap-in carpeting comes standard. Watersports enthusiasts will love the lockable wakeboard locker with vinyl matting and a gas-assisted lid, as well as the optional forward-facing, folding tower with integrated bimini top and anchor light. Because no two owners use their boat in the same way, the 210 SLX offers a choice of two distinct cockpit configurations, each with attractive, comfort-conscious accoutrements. Standard is a motorbox flanked by jump seats and backed by a sun pad. A popular option is a large sun pad lounger with starboard side walk-thru. Owners also get a choice of interior color schemes — chocolate/taupe (standard) or taupe/white (optional) — which incorporate elegant two-tone vinyl and color-matched accents throughout. Either interior layout is ideal for basking in the warm sun or chilling out at water’s edge using the integrated/extended swim platform with stainless-steel swim ladder and optional SeaDek® padding. Perfect for that action-packed weekend, the 210 SLX comes with a standard 220-hp MerCruiser 4.3L MPI engine and Alpha® I sterndrive, or owners can upgrade to 300 horses and a Bravo® III drive for boosted performance. Custom, backlit SmartCraft instruments with glass lenses continuously monitor the ride and provide diagnostic information to the driver. Entertaining is a breeze thanks to a Sony® stereo with CD player, four Rockford Fosgate® weatherproof speakers and iPod® connector, all controlled by a digital display cockpit remote. The helm itself has a handsome trim package in wood and metal that imparts driver-focused luxury. Sea Ray has added a number of exterior enhancements across its Sport Boats lineup for 2012, and the 210 SLX reaps the benefits. Along with the aforementioned optional black watersports tower, the 210 SLX boasts a custom three-piece, curved glass windshield with black anodized frame for great visibility and good looks. Customizing options also include two-tone gel coat, special graphics and full-colored hull bottoms in a variety of colors. A trailer with surge disk brakes and a swing-away tongue is standard, but owners can opt for a Boatmate® Platinum Premium Trailer with two-tone paint scheme matching the boat’s hull color, radial tires, Sea Ray LED backlit logo and more.
