Sea Ray SLX-R 400e Outboard

Unveiled at this year’s CES show in Las Vegas, Sea Ray’s all-new SLX-R 400e Outboard model sets an entirely new standard for high-tech on the water.

The new model takes all of the remarkable features from the original SLX 400 Outboard model and adds its own enhancements, including special-edition shadow metallic gel paint, upgraded upholstery with contrast stitching, red underwater lighting and red accent lighting throughout. But it retains the original’s luxurious seating for 22, belowdecks accommodations for four, dedicated paddleboard storage in the stern, and Sea Ray’s drop-down swim terrace that forms a massive aft cockpit patio. A fully customizable cockpit galley — with the option for two fridges, one fridge and storage, or one fridge and a wine cooler — and a customized cooking area with optional grills takes entertaining to an entirely new level.

The R designation in the new boat’s name refers to its power, in the form of three Mercury Racing 450R outboards with joystick piloting. Those combined 1,350 ponies push the big Sea Ray to 65 mph, giving it the power to explore distant ports of call with ease.

An exclusive glass dash helm with dual NSO evo3 16-inch touch-screen displays and a standard Fusion Apollo RA770 marine audio system give the boat a clean, contemporary look while keeping operation easy and intuitive. The boat also comes standard with the Sea Ray Connect remote monitoring system powered by Nautic-On.

“As stunning as the boat looks and as amazing as the 450R Mercury Racing outboard engines sound, one of the greatest things about the SLX-R 400e Outboard is what you do not see or hear,” says Ritch Ragle, director of North America sales. “Replacing the generator with the Fathom e-Power system allows for whisper-quiet operation of all your electronic accessories, and a full day or night on the water without the hum of a generator and the additional fuel consumption.”
