2016 Sea Ray 350 SLX

Slide aboard and you’ll notice how well this 350 has been kept: fresh bottom paint, polished topsides, and recently sealed teak that still shows its golden grain. The black Sunbrella covers fit tight and clean, hinting at an owner who actually uses them. At the helm, the upgraded Raymarine Quantum II radar pairs with the joystick to make tight fairways and foggy runs far less stressful. Aft, those six rocket launchers turn a family sandbar boat into a capable trolling platform at sunrise. Fire up the Fusion/JL Audio system, open the hardtop, and the cockpit transforms into an open-air lounge that feels more like a floating patio than a 35‑footer.

This 350 SLX is particularly well suited to local waters where short hops can quickly turn into all‑day adventures. The powerful V8s let you cover serious distance fast, yet the open layout keeps everyone part of the action underway or at anchor. Generous storage and multiple cooler zones handle beach gear, dive bags, and provisions without cluttering the decks. Joystick control and the responsive sterndrives make sliding into tight slips or busy fuel docks far less intimidating. With a protected berth and enclosed head, late returns or an unexpected overnight on the hook become comfortable, not complicated—ideal for this mix of harbors, islands, and open stretches.
