Sea Ray’s SDX series of deck boats are built with outboards engine power or a sterndrive configuration that makes for more room on the swim platform. For its 25-foot SDX, there’s also a Surf version integrated with a NextWave surf system that generates repeatable, rideable waves. Both models are built for an active day of boating with family and friends with loads or plush seating, storage, an integrated cooler compartment, and USB charging stations.

U-shaped lounge-style seating at the bow includes an integrated cooler compartment to keep drinks and snacks at hand. The optional Comfort Bundle adds a table and a filler cushion that transforms the spot into a sunpad. The bow can also be enhanced with manual bow sunshade and boarding ladder options.
At the Digital Dash helm, the skipper has fingertip control of the 250’s standard 9-inch Simrad NSX® touchscreen display (dual 9-inch displays are standard on the surf variation) featuring a chartplotter with preloaded charts and Mercury Marine SmartCraft Connect for simplified engine monitoring.
Chill out in back with a convertible sunpad with fold-up backrest and a broad swim platform with a concealable ladder (or optional submersible step), plus the transom includes a ski tow eye attachment for watersports.
For the Surf version, the SDX 250’s transom is engineered to produce a clean wake while electric surf tabs, Active Trim and three tanks featuring 1,550 pounds of ballast control the height of the wave. Sea Ray’s custom surf interface is powered by Mercury Smart Tow, which offers three preset modes for surfing, wakeboarding, and skiing/tubing.
