2018 Sea Ray Sdx 290 OutboardSold

Step aboard and the first thing you’ll notice is how the layout invites everyone to spread out yet stay part of the same conversation. The wraparound bow loungers are deep and secure, with backrests that encourage real stretching out, not just perching. A convertible aft lounge lets you face the wake, the swim platform, or the cockpit depending on the mood. At the helm, the clean, automotive-style dash with dual displays and ergonomic throttles makes longer runs less tiring. Thoughtful touches like dedicated cooler space, stainless drink holders within easy reach, and well-placed grab rails show the boat was designed by people who actually use the water, not just draw it.

This SDX 290 Outboard is particularly well-suited to local waters where you’re mixing open-bay chop, inlet swells, and shallow sandbar hopping in the same day. The generous freeboard keeps the crew dry when afternoon breeze kicks up, while the outboards give you the draft and confidence to nose into skinny water for a swim. The wide, social cockpit and abundant shade options are ideal for long days under a strong sun, and the enclosed head turns quick outings into full-day adventures. With its responsive handling and secure seating, it’s a natural fit for intercoastal cruising, restaurant runs, and exploring nearby coves with friends and family.
