2026 Sea Ray SDX 230 | MerCruiser 6.2L MPI ECT DTS Bravo Three (300HP - 350HP) or Mercury Outboard

Premium comfort, athletic styling, and massive capacity in an effortless, trailerable footprint. The 2026 Sea Ray SDX 230 redefines what a 23-foot deck boat can achieve, maximizing every inch of deck space to create an incredibly open, conversation-friendly layout. Built on an optimized deep-V hull with a 21-degree deadrise, this Yacht-Certified family day boat carves through rough lake chop with a remarkably soft, dry, and predictable ride. Powered by the heavy-hitting MerCruiser 6.2L MPI ECT (300 HP or 350 HP) mated to a dual-prop Bravo Three drive and Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS)—or configured as an SDX 230 Outboard with a Mercury 200HP or 250HP FourStroke—this versatile cruiser offers lightning-fast holeshots, effortless tracking, and premium tow-sports performance.  

Smart Deck Architecture & Convertible Social Zones

Designed with a focus on fluid movement and social freedom, the SDX 230 comfortably hosts a crowd of up to 13 passengers without ever feeling crowded:  

• Expanded Cockpit Layout: Features a deep, self-bailing fiberglass liner wrapped in plush, marine-grade upholstery. The L-shaped aft bench configuration maximizes conversational space and includes integrated storage zones for coolers, lines, and vests.  

• Convertible Companion Seating: Both the helm seat and the port companion seat are oversized and feature pivoting backrests, instantly transforming from forward-facing cruise seats into relaxed, aft-facing lounge stations.  

• Transformative Rear Sunpad: A wide transom sun pad features a multi-position folding backrest, creating a comfortable rear-facing lounger right next to the integrated swim platform—ideal for watching the kids swim or catching the sunset at the sandbar.  

• Deep U-Shaped Bow Lounge: The carried-forward beam design creates an incredibly deep and secure forward bow zone with contoured backrests, stainless steel grab rails, and convenient dual USB-A/USB-C charging ports.

Modern Technology & Premium Bundles (Configure to Spec)

• Intuitive Digital Helm: Standard command station featuring a 9-inch Simrad touchscreen display integrated with SmartCraft Connect and Active Trim, giving the captain instant access to chartplotting, depth finding, and real-time engine diagnostics. Upgradable to a dual-screen configuration.

• Enclosed Head Compartment: Tucked into the starboard console is a spacious, lockable changing room that can be outfitted with a pump-out head vanity, providing all-day comfort for long excursions away from the dock.  

• Comfort Bundle: Adds a plush bow filler cushion to create a massive forward sun pad, along with a handy walkthrough block-off door to block cold morning air.

• Entertainment & Audio Upgrade: Elevates your time on the water with a premium Fusion stereo system, high-output Apollo Series multi-channel amplifier, Signature Series marine speakers, and a striking LED interior courtesy lighting package.

• Tower & Canvas Options: Can be equipped with a manual bimini top or upgraded to a sport-minded folding watersports tower with integrated canvas, providing excellent shade and a high tow point for wakeboarding.
