Enjoy smoother shifting, easier docking, more immediate throttle response and cutting-edge information displays. Performance is more predictable and responsive than ever before.

• An inside view

The best captain is an informed captain. On the 350 SLX, captains are kept very well informed by the SmartCraft VesselView, a comprehensive information center for the boat. VesselView continuously monitors and reports basic operating data for engines, as well as information about trim, steering angle, sea water temperature and depth. It can also be integrated with GPS to serve as an additional screen. Information wants to be seen and used.

• The joy of driving

The Axius joystick propulsion system puts control of the 350 SLX in the palm of your hand. Tight fairways and docks are a breeze, with easy movement in any direction, spinning in place, and Skyhook for effortless station-keeping. So simple a child can do it. Simple for adults, too.

• In the swim of things

• Let your light shine

Seafarers once had to rely on the North Star, but with the 350 SLXs LED lighting package upgrade, the brightest star is the one youre riding in. An elegant lighting design brightens the cockpit for superior visibility, and accent LED lighting on the 350 SLX exterior lends a cool ambiance when that day on the water slips into an evening out.

• 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 350 SLX, DRS also allows skiers and wakeboarders to define presetsletting you shape the perfect wake height.
