This high-tech 40 foot boat is the first of its kind for Sea Ray. Powered by triple, supercharged Mercury Racing 450R outboard engines it features the all-new Fathom e-Power System, which is an eco-friendly alternative to a fuel-powered generator system (and can power all systems onboard at idle). The luxurious yacht seats 22 people and can be controlled with voice commands and hand gestures.

A lithium battery pack onboard can power onboard systems, while it has a slew of other innovative technologies incorporated in the design, including auto-docking capabilities, autonomy/ADAS, electrification, shared-access and connectivity. The boat uses the equivalent of 10 Tesla batteries to operate its motors!

With all of its integrated, intelligent technology, this boat really looks like the future of boating. Features like premium helm display with Dual Digital Dash NSO evo3 16-inch displays, state-of-the-art systems from Simrad®, and a premier FUSION® Apollo RA770 marine audio system with a touchscreen display all prove this vessel is indeed state-of-the-art. The SLX-R 400e also comes standard with the Sea Ray ConnectTM remote monitoring system, powered by NAUTIC- ONTM.
