SPACES REIMAGINED

The SLX 280 Outboard showcases an expanded cockpit redesigned for added luxury, improved function and more room. Deeper seats promote ergonomics and comfort while seamless storage areas, like the transom locker and cockpit floor compartment, keep gear secure when not in use. For beverages and snacks, the transom sunpad features an integrated cooler located conveniently underneath the seat. The cockpit can also be upgraded with a drawer-style refrigerator and a useful end table equipped with a wireless charging station.

The optional next-generation Power Tower delivers sun coverage with a touch of style. It provides a sleek design, a sporty canvas top and an extendable sunshade. For simplified use, the tower can be electrically lowered and raised. Perfect for watersports lovers, swiveling wakeboard racks are also available.
