The Newest Sea Ray Wades Into Cruiser Waters: Meet The SLX 360

The most popular boat line from Sea Ray — at least on Lake of the Ozarks — just got another foot longer.

The Sea Ray SLX 360 is not just bigger; this new model launched in 2026 blurs the line between day boat, sport boat, and cruiser. While it's not in "huge" SLX 400 40-foot cruiser territory, the SLX 360 truly lands in another category than its slightly littler sister, the 350.

"It's amazing the difference a single foot can make," said Marty Davis, boat sales consultant with MarineMax Lake Ozark. "And this boat isn't just a foot longer, it's another level-up based on the already awesome designs and features that boaters have loved on the entire SLX series."

"If you are on Lake of the Ozarks, this really might be the perfect boat," added Ben Beecher.

Davis and Beecher work as a team to help boaters navigate the waters of selecting, customizing, and buying a boat, and they'll be doing just that at the Overland Park Boat Show, this weekend.

Here's a peek at what's new on the SLX 360...

• It's bigger, in so many ways. Not just the length: a wider beam makes this boat feel like it grew up and traded the skipper hat for a captain's helm. The fuel tank is much larger — like 275 gallons, compared to ~160 on smaller SLX models. Triple-300hp Mercury Verados are standard, with lots of power. But you can also upgrade to Mercury 425s for some next-level oomph.

• A cabin equipped for overnight. A full stand-up head and the roomier "bedroom" designed cabin makes this boat a real option for overnight cruising. This is a cabin you'll actually use.

• Upgraded piloting. Controls on the steering wheel feel automobile-inspired. Joysticks come standard. Smart-piloting and strong integration with digital systems mean driving the boat feels less like chaos and more like there's a capable captain at the helm.

• And much more...

Ready to explore the SLX 360? This new boat is in high-demand, so while you can't climb aboard one at the Overland Park Boat Show, the trick is to find Ben & Marty at the MarineMax booth. They can plan a separate time to get you a private tour on a 360, and while there, you can tour other SLX models and begin planning for the dream boat.
