NEXT GENERATION SPX SERIES LAUNCHED

Sea Ray has launched the next generation of its SPX Series, the European 2024 SPX 210.

The SPX 210 has a sporty new aesthetic with hull sculpting details along with classic Sea Ray style elements.

The model features a new curved windshield design for improved visibility and protection from the elements and is propelled by a Mercury MerCruiser 4.5L 250hp ECT engine.

“The all-new 2024 SPX 210 is Sea Ray’s first SPX to embody our cutting-edge design language and the first of our next-generation models to make its debut in Europe,” said Keith Yunger, Sea Ray president.

A full-sized ski locker compartment in the cockpit floor provides secure storage and at the stern, an integrated swim platform helps re-entry to the boat.

Intuitive controls are within reach of the helmsperson and the helm is equipped with a standard 7in Simrad digital display with Mercury VesselView Link. In addition, Mercury VesselView Mobile allows engine information to be monitored from a smart device. Technology highlights include a Fusion Apollo SRX400 audio system with a touchscreen display, Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2.

Several upgrade packages are also available with extra accessories such as a Bimini top and bow filler cushion.

For the first time, an inflatable RIB from Lomac has recorded a top speed of over 60 knots in sea trials.

The GranTurismo 12.0 is powered by three of the latest Mercury Verado V10 engines, each rated 350hp.

“We’re extremely happy with this landmark result, which shows not only our boats’ constant innovation and evolution for over 60 years, but also the perfect ‘seaworthiness’ of the hulls and their geometries, designed to exploit the full potential of the latest generation engines, as in the case of the new Mercury Verado V10s,” said Paolo Lo Manto, sales manager at the Lombardy yard.

The Granturismo 12.0’s design and hull lines are by Federico Fiorentino, who has been working with the Lombardy yard for a decade.
