KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 27, 2017) — Sea Ray will unveil a series of thrilling new models at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. With breakthroughs spanning the line-up, from versatile new sport boat and sport cruiser propulsion options, to an exciting new flybridge model, to a limited-release edition of an iconic sport yacht, Sea Ray’s offerings will satisfy a wide variety of boaters.
Sea Ray SLX 400 OB
Sea Ray will host a special “First Look” preview of this premium luxury day boat, which brings all the benefits of outboard power to the dynamic, award-winning SLX 400, a.k.a. “The Entertainer.” Notable features include the game-changing starboard fold-down swim terrace — one of many design breakthroughs that led to the SLX 400’s Innovation Award win earlier this year — and the expansive cockpit and transom entertainment zones A best-in-class seating layout has room for 22 passengers, while a generous cabin offers a comfortable place to escape the elements or spend the night. And with technology including the Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) system by Mercury Marine®, for effortless docking and turn-on-a-dime maneuvering; QuietRide™, for dramatically reduced noise, vibration and harshness; and an advanced Digital Dash helm, the SLX 400 Outboard delivers incredible performance and seamless operation, all powered by triple Mercury Verado outboards

Sea Ray Sundancer 320 Outboard
Also appearing in a special First Look engagement comes the Sundancer 320 Outboard. Following the success of the Sundancer 320, introduced in February, the 320 Outboard continues Sea Ray’s bold new vision for sport cruising by blending the values of a cruiser and a bowrider with the versatility and efficient performance of triple Mercury Marine outboard engines. From the spacious open bow with robust lounge seating, to the generous cockpit with wet bar, to the beautifully designed cabin with sleeping accommodations for four, the Sundancer 320 Outboard offers the best of both worlds — day boating and cabin cruising. And with a beautifully designed transom area and full swim platform, boaters enjoy the benefits of outboard power with no trade-offs in terms of space

Sea Ray Fly 520
**Making its official World Premiere at the Fort Lauderdale show, Sea Ray’s new Fly 520 leverages the power of light through design choices that maximize views and minimize obstruction. Evolutionary styling and contemporary materials feel bright and airy, while wide-open, blended-purpose spaces with ample windows invite the outside in. Notably, the glass-enclosed bridge staircase and open risers allow light to flow through the steps even as this staircase ties the bridge cohesively into the rest of the yacht. Superior attention to detail and craftsmanship can be found in everything from the precision-engineered hull, manufactured at Sea Ray’s state-of-the-art Palm Coast (Fla.) facility, to the engines and mechanical compartments, which are easier than ever to access and service. Additionally, the detailing of the interior features new wood selections, expertly crafted and grain matched throughout to elevate the yacht’s overall appeal. The entirety of the yacht is geared toward effortless entertaining and luxurious livability, with a well-equipped flybridge; a large hydraulic swim platform with steps descending into the water; three inviting staterooms; and all the comforts one has come to expect of a Sea Ray yacht. In the cockpit, Sea Ray has devised an ingenious seating solution that allows for maximum versatility: the aft lounge seat with convertible backrest travels forward and aft to create multiple seating configurations, facing into the cockpit from the aft position or brought forward to overlook the swim platform. An optional Gourmet Center adds a grill and large storage drawer in the transom, further enhancing sociability. Superior performance, stability and handling, as well as the joystick propulsion system with Zeus pods, make yachting a joy. The yacht’s overall effect is more than just bright — it’s brilliant**

Ray was known to say, ‘If it has my name on it, it has to be the best.’ The 510 Signature reflects this heritage and demonstrates Sea Ray’s longstanding commitment to excellence,” said Ward. “C.N. would be proud to see it bear his name.”
