There's no denying that Sea Ray has outdone themselves with the release of the new Sea Ray Boat SLX Series SDX350 OB 2024, an offering that takes boating luxury and convenience to the next level. I am genuinely thrilled to share my impressions and thoughts on this 2024 Sea Ray bow rider boat courtesy of See Dealer Cost.
The SDX350 OB is designed to impress with its engineer precision, user-friendly features, and unquestionable quality. Bow riders like this are rightly renowned for their balance between comfort and functionality, making them perfect for those day cruises or family gatherings out in the water.
To start with, the hull and deck features are admirable in their comprehensive effectiveness. The boat comes with 10" Thru-Bolted stainless steel cleats, a hull with durable Arctic White Gel Coat, and a windlass with rope/chain, galvanized anchor, anchor chute, wash down, and bow controls. Not to mention, the quiet ride technology with a proprietary tuned transom by Omni Products, Inc is a feature that can't be overlooked.
In the cockpit area, the clever arrangements prove their efficiency in real-world use. With a variety of storage solutions, LED courtesy lighting, beverage holders, and more - the space is ideal for both relaxation and entertainment. Particularly noteworthy is the wet bar complete with refrigerator, solid-surface countertop, stainless steel sink, faucet, and trash receptacle – nothing short of a floating oasis.
The head (under helm) equally caters to your needs with a VacuFlush head, 27-gallon holding tank, lighting, sink, and other thoughtful amenities. And when it comes to seating, the SDX350 OB comfortably accommodates a crowd with its hinged cushions and armrests, cockpit social area, helm dual bucket seat, and more.
Technical-wise, the boat is packed with innovations. The helm boasts features like Active Trim control and monitoring, Simrad GO9 touchscreen displays, Mercury Marine Axius Joystick Piloting for Sterndrives, a Fusion Apollo RA770 12V AM/FM stereo system, and much more. The engine compartment houses automatic bilge pumps and fire suppression system, while the electrical systems are equally sophisticated.
The water system is well-outfitted, as is the underwater gear, making the SDX350 OB performance-ready for all your water activities. Moreover, with a fuel capacity of 160 gallons, a length overall of 34' 7", a beam at 10' 6", and a dry weight of 14,235 lbs, this boat is the epitome of sturdiness and resilience.
The SDX350 OB 2024 is an imposing offering from Sea Ray, with a MSRP of approximately $437,240. Yes, this may seem like a hefty price tag, but given the impeccable combination of performance, convenience, and features, it is a justified investment for those who prioritize quality and longevity in their water vessels.
So, if you’re in the market for a spacious and sophisticated boat that guarantees a memorable experience out on the water, you can't go wrong with the Sea Ray Boat SLX Series SDX350 OB 2024.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
