Sea Ray SPX Series
When it comes to introducing new boaters to luxury on the water, few models compare to the Sea Ray SPX Series. This line of sporty bowriders is designed to deliver exceptional performance, stylish aesthetics, and family-first features without the overwhelming size or price tag of higher-tier vessels. Whether you’re cruising Chickamauga Lake or exploring the winding beauty of the Tennessee River, the SPX lineup is built to bring joy, ease, and sophistication to every outing.
Unmatched Versatility Meets Signature Sea Ray Design
The Sea Ray SPX Series includes three models—SPX 190, SPX 210, and SPX 230—each available in sterndrive or outboard configurations. Ranging from just under 20 feet to a roomy 23 feet, these boats share a distinctive visual identity with sleek hull lines, modern curves, and bold color combinations that turn heads at any marina.
But the SPX boats aren’t just about good looks. Their deep-V hulls and thoughtful design provide a remarkably smooth, dry ride even when navigating choppy waters. Sea Ray’s engineers have optimized tracking, agility, and power efficiency, ensuring every ride feels solid and controlled. That blend of performance and beauty makes the SPX series an ideal match for families or couples seeking comfort and capability without the complexity of a large cruiser.
Family Comfort with Premium Amenities Built In
Step aboard an SPX, and the difference is immediately clear. While these boats are positioned as entry-level, their features say otherwise. All models come equipped with a digital helm display for clear engine monitoring, an intuitive Simrad touchscreen for navigation, and a premium Fusion® Bluetooth stereo system for seamless entertainment. The seating is designed for flexibility and sociability. Deep wraparound lounges in the bow, L-shaped aft seating in the cockpit, and reversible companion chairs ensure that everyone has a comfortable place to relax or engage with the action. Many of the cushions lift to reveal ample storage for gear, snacks, and towels, keeping the deck clutter-free for guests.
A walk-through transom, integrated swim platform, and a concealed four-step swim ladder make water access effortless—perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day at Chickamauga Lake. For added luxury, optional packages introduce features such as snap-in SeaDek® flooring and a bow filler cushion to convert the bow area into a spacious sundeck.
Performance That Inspires Confidence and Fun
Boaters will appreciate that the SPX Series offers serious power under the hood. The SPX 190, for instance, offers a standard 200 hp MerCruiser sterndrive, with an upgrade for those wanting more thrust. That power translates into fast, responsive handling and plenty of pull for towing fun.
Its performance is not just about speed—handling matters too. The SPX rides on a deep-V hull allows it to carve confidently and cut through wakes without pounding or sway. The helm station features a sport steering wheel and analog gauges that complement the digital screen, providing a mix of classic and contemporary. From docking to cruising open stretches of the Tennessee River, the SPX series offers intuitive control and predictability that make every captain—new or experienced—feel completely in command.
Easy Ownership and Practicality
While the Sea Ray SPX is luxurious, it’s also refreshingly easy to own. These models are designed for convenient trailering, launching, and storage—important considerations for those who don’t keep their boat in the water year-round. With a length under 24 feet, even the largest SPX model can be stored in a standard garage with the right trailer.
The simplicity of operation is another big win. Sea Ray’s SmartCraft® Digital Dash system consolidates all major controls into a single screen, reducing clutter and streamlining boat operation. It’s boating made easy, without sacrificing the touches of class and comfort that elevate the experience.
Ideal for Chickamauga Lake Adventures
The Sea Ray SPX series is a perfect match for boating on Chickamauga Lake and the broader Tennessee River. Whether you’re cruising from Chickamauga Marina to explore hidden coves or heading downtown for a dock-and-dine evening from Erwin Riverfront Marina, the SPX handles it all with style and comfort.
Its size allows access to quiet areas larger yachts can’t reach, while the powerful engine ensures you’re never lacking for speed or responsiveness. With space for up to 10 people, an SPX is built to make memories with family and friends—weekend after weekend. The Sea Ray SPX Series offers a masterful balance of form, function, and fun. Its upscale features, practical size, and sporty performance make it an unbeatable option for boaters looking to start strong or downsize without compromise. If you’re ready to experience the thrill of owning a premium bowrider that’s easy to operate and fun to share, the SPX is ready to deliver.
