She measures an LOA of 53'33", carries a generous 15'25" beam, and shows a max draft of 4'33", with an 18° deadrise delivering confident, composed ride quality. Her dry weight is 38,500, with tankage smartly apportioned to 150 gal of fresh water, 560 gal of fuel, and a 68 gal holding tank to support extended cruising.

In the salon, an elegant entertainment center anchors the space with a flatscreen LCD TV at 120V paired with a DVD player, remote, coax outlet, and a gain control panel, complemented by a 12V Clarion AM/FM single CD stereo that is satellite-ready with a 6-disc CD changer, amplifier, and four speakers. A dedicated cabinet neatly organizes CDs and videotapes. The atmosphere is elevated by accent wall mirrors and a pair of Ultraleather HP sofas—one concealing a pullout bed and the other with abundant storage below—framed by upper gunwale cabinets and additional in-floor stowage. A movable hi-lo dining table with stools and hidden storage adapts effortlessly from casual lounging to formal dining.

Throughout the cabin, craftsmanship is evident in wood blinds, handcrafted wood trim, and a premium wood interior package in cherry or dark cherry veneers. Safety and comfort are paramount with carbon monoxide monitors, deep-pile stain-resistant carpet with padding, and a Sunbrella interior runner. Lighting sets the tone with 120V and 12V halogen fixtures plus 12V indirect accents, while outlets and switch plates in a satin nickel finish, GFI-protected 120V outlets, 12V accessory outlets, and phone outlets provide practical convenience. Accent pillows and more in-floor storage complete a space designed to both soothe and impress.

Forward, the stateroom is a serene retreat featuring a queen-size berth with an innerspring mattress, pillows, sheets, a coordinated spread, drawers, and carpeted storage beneath. Privacy is ensured by a solid door, while wardrobe needs are met by a cedar-lined hanging locker with light and mirrored door to starboard and a full-length hanging locker with lights and mirrored door to port. A mirrored rope-locker bulkhead adds visual depth, supplemented by gunwale cabinets and in-floor storage. Entertainment and utility are handled by a 15-inch flatscreen LCD TV/DVD combo at 120V with a coax outlet and a vanity with a solid-surface countertop.

The guest stateroom is thoughtfully appointed with a vanity topped by a solid-surface counter, an upper bunk and a lower bunk—each with mattress, pillows, sheets, and a coordinated spread—with carpeted storage below the lower. A lighted hanging locker and an upper storage cabinet keep belongings organized, while a 120V TV/DVD combo with remote and coax outlet offers private entertainment.

On deck, the cockpit is purpose-built for entertaining and effortless operation. Beverage holders are at hand, a snap-in carpet liner softens the sole, and the self-bailing fiberglass cockpit includes a gas-assisted engine room service hatch for fast access. A lockable acrylic cabin entry door and acrylic transom door add security and durability. 316 stainless steel handrails provide confident movement, while the fiberglass hardtop integrates stainless steel grab rails and overhead lighting with an electronic dimmer to set the mood. Amenities abound with a 120V icemaker, indirect lighting, a 12V accessory outlet, and GFI-protected 120V outlets. Seating is versatile, with a companion seat that swivels and converts to a lounger atop a fiberglass storage base; at the helm, a custom Euro-style chair offers a flip-up thigh-rise bolster, armrests, and a heavy-duty pedestal with slide, swivel, and pneumatic vertical adjustment. Aft, wraparound seating on fiberglass storage bases invites conversation. A ship’s bell, molded deck-access steps, and a robust audio suite—a 12V AM/FM single CD stereo, satellite-ready with a 6-disc CD changer, amplifier, subwoofer, four waterproof speakers, and a digital cockpit remote control by Clarion—set the tone. The portside wet bar, complete with sink, faucet, stainless steel handrail, trash receptacle, and storage cabinet, ensures the party never breaks stride.

At the helm, a tan gel-coated dash and high-gloss burl instrument and backlit switch panels frame a wood-accent steering wheel on a tilt column with power-assisted steering. The control suite includes shift and throttle controls with gold knobs, a compass, and a concealed single-trumpet air horn. SmartCraft diagnostics feature two custom Sea Ray SmartCraft four-in-one multi-gauges with low-glare blue night lighting and chrome bezels, integrating fuel level, oil pressure, voltmeter, and water temperature. SmartCraft System View expands capability with air and water temperatures, combined fuel flow/range, depth, engine alarms/hourmeters, an engine synchronizer, a GPS interface, and system maintenance records. A remote-controlled ACR spotlight with dual halogen bulbs enhances night running. Illuminated weatherproof rocker switches with a dimmer control, a digital LCD systems monitor for pump monitoring, an emergency engine stop, engine emergency start system, and high-water bilge alarms round out a helm designed for confidence and control.

The engine room is engineered for safety and serviceability, with 12V automatic bilge pumps—two in total, one aft and one forward—and 12V automatic high-water pumps—two in total, one in the bilge and one in the forward cabin—supported by two 12V bilge blowers. Cleanliness and quiet are addressed by engine drip sumps and Power Pac/Lift System mufflers, while an automatic fire suppression system with manual pull and freshwater cooling add protection and reliability. A gel-coated engine room, 2-inch insulation with a vinyl barrier, a removable stainless steel ladder, and 12V lighting improve access and comfort, and an oil changer system serves the engines, transmissions, and generator.

Below the waterline, the mechanical specification is equally robust, featuring a bonding system with a zinc hull plate; two 2 1/2" stainless steel Aquamet 22 propeller shafts; Nibral four-blade cupped propellers; manganese-bronze rudders with stainless steel posts; seacocks on all underwater fittings; seawater strainers; dripless shaft logs with an extra seal carrier kit; manganese-bronze struts; and hydraulic trim tabs. Every detail reflects Sea Ray’s relentless focus on performance, safety, and enduring luxury.
