Hisham's take
The 2026 SDX 250 Outboard is Sea Ray's flagship 25-footer for the outboard era. A single Mercury Verado V8 (250 hp standard, 300 hp optional) with SmartCraft DTS drives an 8.51-metre bowrider with 14-person capacity and a 21° deadrise hull. The oversized bow converts to a full sunpad with the Comfort Bundle; the aft cockpit has a convertible sunpad, an integrated cooler and a starboard compartment that upgrades to a marine head. A 9-inch Simrad NSX helm with Mercury SmartCraft Connect is standard — twin 9" screens optional. Cruising speed lands at 25–27 mph with ~200-mile range from the 75-gallon tank.

TheBoatfinder® Review
Our take, on the water.
Sea Ray SDX 250 OBInstagram · @theboatfinderInstagram · @theboatfinder
This is the boat I'd hand someone who says 'I want one boat for the family all summer.' Fourteen seats sounds like a marketing number until you're at anchor in Sokhna with three families and everyone's actually got a spot.
