NEW TWIN MERCURY VERADO 250 HP OUTBOARDS – INSTALLED DEC 2024

From coastal cruising and chic entertaining to watersports and sandbar lounging, this immaculate 290 SDX is the ultimate luxury day boat. A premium bowrider/deck boat sport cruiser powerboat with outboards, it gives you every reason to cast off.

Covers

A black bimini top rises cleanly above the cockpit, shading the lounge with a crisp, tailored profile, while a full black cockpit cover envelops the boat in a protective, form‑fitting shield when moored, preserving every surface and detail between adventures.

Hull and deck features

Built for confidence and polish, the hull carries an Arctic White gelcoat contrasted by black hull sides, framed by a white PVC rub rail with a stainless‑steel insert that resists scuffs with quiet authority. Stainless‑steel bow and stern eyes anchor the lines with enduring strength, while six thru‑bolted eight‑inch stainless‑steel cleats stand ready for secure mooring. On the foredeck, a fiberglass bow locker with a robust hatch conceals an anchor storage area and a dedicated four‑step bow boarding ladder, making beach landings and forward access effortless.

The deck hardware is all stainless steel, from the fuel fill plate to the navigation light, with a removable stern light adding flexible visibility after dusk. A brass‑threaded drain plug underscores the builder’s devotion to reliability. At the transom, a rear under‑mount swim platform ladder in stainless steel deploys in four sure steps for an easy return from the water, while the tempered, tinted glass windshield invites you forward through a walk‑through secured by a positive latch. Completing the protection suite, a full black canvas cover stands by to preserve the deck and fittings when the day is done, and a stainless‑steel ski tow eye promises effortless watersports exhilaration.

Cockpit features

Step into a cockpit finished in marine‑grade beige vinyl with tasteful brown accents, specially treated to resist mildew and UV so it remains supple and inviting season after season. Stainless‑steel beverage holders with rubber inserts hold fast underway, while a finished fiberglass floor with a molded liner and a refined non‑skid treatment provides impeccable footing and lasting durability. A custom upholstered dash visor frames the helm, where a lockable glove box sits conveniently to port, and clear glass lenses preserve crisp legibility. Acrylic doors seal both the bow block‑off and the transom entry, with a fold‑down entry step to starboard easing movement aboard.

Entertaining is effortless: an insulated built‑in bow cooler keeps refreshments within reach, complemented by a carry‑on cooler with its own designated storage. A wet bar with a built‑in sink and faucet crowns a solid‑surface countertop with integrated sink and vanity storage, supported by a pull‑out sprayer for quick rinse‑downs. White LED courtesy lighting warms the evening ambiance, while 12V and USB outlets keep devices powered. Storage abounds—beneath the bow seats port and starboard, within the illuminated, lockable compartment under the starboard helm, in a generous bow in‑floor fiberglass locker with vinyl matting and a gas‑assisted lid, and in a lockable cockpit in‑floor compartment with rubber matting and a gas‑assisted lid. Even the transom grants easy access to a dedicated storage bay with rubber matting and a gas‑assisted hatch. Comfort extends to a thoughtfully enclosed head compartment with its own light, a lockable fiberglass door, and a clean, reliable portable head. When it’s time to gather, the cockpit table lifts into place and tucks away again into its dedicated storage with satisfying precision.

Seating

Across the boat, all‑beige cushions create a cohesive, sun‑washed aesthetic that begs you to settle in. Forward, the bow lounges to port and starboard invite true relaxation with hinged cushions that reveal hidden stowage and fold‑down armrests that transform the ride into a sanctuary. At the helm, the captain enjoys a seat with a convertible backrest, a flip‑up thigh rise, and a smooth sliding base, mirrored by a port companion seat that shares the same convertible backrest and flip‑up thigh rise for perfect alignment underway. Aft, the L‑shaped lounge with hinged port cushions conceals generous storage below, while reclining aft‑facing transom loungers offer a sublime vantage point over the water when the engines fall silent.

Helm and technical features

The helm is a study in clarity and control, led by custom Sea Ray SmartCraft diagnostics that bring vital data front and center. Audible engine alarms for oil and water stand sentry, supported by a speedometer, fuel and trim gauges set in chrome bezels with glass lenses and low‑glare blue lighting for effortless reading in all conditions. A system tachometer adds digital monitoring for depth, engine alarms and hours, fuel consumption and usage, oil pressure, trim level, and voltage, while Mercury VesselView expands your insight with intuitive precision.

Refinement meets response with SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS), complete with a trim switch and ignition cutout switch for confident control. Active Trim, a speed‑based automatic engine trim system with integrated GPS, optimizes running attitude on the fly, and an engine start/stop button brings modern convenience to every departure. Power‑assisted tilt‑wheel steering keeps handling light and exact. Entertainment arrives via a Fusion SRX400 stereo (12V AM/FM, Bluetooth, DPS, Wi‑Fi Audio, Apple AirPlay 2) driving four 6.5‑inch speakers for rich, even sound throughout the cockpit. A sealed switch panel with weatherproof, lighted chrome toggle switches and backlit tilt and trim power completes a dash designed to inspire confidence with every touch.

Engine compartment

Beneath the deck, the engine compartment is finished in clean, protective gelcoat and engineered for peace of mind. A 12V bilge blower circulates fresh air, while an automatic bilge pump rated at 1100 gallons per hour stands ready to evacuate water the moment it appears. A fire extinguisher discharge port offers quick, safe access in an emergency, reinforcing a design that prioritizes safety without sacrificing refinement.

Electrical systems are equally disciplined: two battery on‑off switches simplify isolation and service, a robust fuse block organizes protection circuits, and color‑coded wiring with chafe protection keeps every run orderly and secure, including provisions for shore power and an inverter. It’s a compartment designed not just to perform, but to inspire confidence every time you lift the hatch.
