2016 Sea Ray 230 SLX

There's no denying the striking looks and considerable agility of the 230 SLX. Fine details like soft upholstery and contrasting dash trim prove this is a boat with style; user-friendly features like an aft sun pad with a convertible backrest prove it's a boat with the brains to back it up. And for thrill-seekers, Sea Ray's exclusive Dynamic Running Surface technology means the SLX's water sports capabilities are through the roof. You might even say it's got soul.

Features may include:

• The wake you make

Dynamic Running Surface automatically optimizes running attitude and trim, delivering incredible stability and performance. Large, triangular planes in the hull create an articulated running surface that improves acceleration, reduces bow rise and keeps the boat at optimal trim, no matter the load. An option on the 230 SLX, DRS also allows skiers and wakeboarders to define presetsletting you shape the perfect wake height.

• Precise just became more precise

Mercurys SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) system delivers effortless command of your engines and puts control at your fingertips, literally. Performance is more predictable and responsive than ever before.

• Touch the future

Sea Rays newest fully integrated helm display, the Digital Dash, provides seamless vessel data, audio control and navigation capabilities on the 230 SLX. Available in tandem with cutting-edge Raymarine displays, upgraded Fusion stereo units and the NMEA 2000 Communication Network, Digital Dash integrates with smartphones and tablets and features custom Sea Ray propulsion graphics and a touchscreen interface. Hands-on just got high tech.

• A platform that breaks barriers

You purchase a boat because you love the water. Thats why the 230 SLX gives you direct access with an easy walk-through from the cockpit to the swim platform, a broad sun pad that converts to a rear-facing lounge. A transom remote for the stereo will make this area the center of your day.

• Turn it up

Seamless entertainment seals the ultimate hosting or relaxation experience. Good thing the 230 SLX comes standard with the all-new Rockford Fosgate stereo system, featuring wireless Bluetooth connectivity and multiple media inputs so you can set your own playlist for the day. The stereo boasts an LCD display, muting feature and waterproof remote so you can control custom entertainment without leaving the water.

• Tower of power

The 230 SLX is fit for any test of on-water action. Just add water and the optional forward-folding watersports tower and youve got a champion on your hands. Count on the integrated bimini top to provide shade whenever needed, and add the available wakeboard racks to holdand show offyour high-octane gear. At the end of the day, fold down the tower to easily fit in your garage or lift.
