Owner Experience Review
Owners use the SEA RAY260 SLX OBprimarily for day‑boating with family and friends, mixing cruising, anchorage swim stops, and tow‑sports like skiing, wakeboarding, and even casual surf sessions. The cockpit and bow provide ample seating with under‑seat storage, plus a sunpad/cooler setup and a helm layout that reviewers praise for thoughtful ergonomics and dual displays; one owner summary was simply that they love their OB version.
On the water, tests and owner reports point to confident, lively handling in light chop and a responsive throttle feel. Typical performance falls in the low‑30s mph at cruise, with wide‑open throttle around 50+ mph with a 300‑hp outboard; one owner cited 49 mph at WOT and about 37 mph at 3500 rpm while burning roughly 8 gph.
The outboard configuration is a common deciding factor versus I/O for at‑home or dockside service, and owners appreciate being able to trim the engine completely clear of the water for shallow work or trailering. Routine small replacements—batteries and props—show up in sale and forum threads (bellows are also mentioned in some posts), and BoatTEST notes a seat‑support redesign to address the “wobbly” mounts seen on older setups. The OB variant is relatively new, so there isn’t much long‑term failure data yet in public forums.
Pros and Cons
- Confident, lively handling with responsive throttle, even in light chop.
- Strong performance for a 26‑foot dayboat, cruising in the low 30s mph and approaching ~50 mph at WOT in owner and test reports.
- Outboard layout suits real‑world use, easing driveway service and allowing the engine to trim fully out of the water.
- The OB variant is relatively new, so long‑term reliability data remains limited in public forums.
- Owners and sale threads often mention small routine replacements such as batteries and props, with bellows noted in some related posts.
- Earlier seat‑support mounts could feel wobbly, so confirm the updated redesign is fitted on the boat being considered.
