400 slx ?

[HUMPH]

Just saw this but had never heard it was in development!

 

[NotHerDecision]

That is one SWEET boat! First I have heard of it as well. I think that will be fitting for many of the lakes where lots of people/familes have a ton going on!

Supposed to be on display at the NY show next week.

Wow. My FLA boat was going to be a 350SLX but now,,,,,, I"ll get some real life pics at the boat show for you guys.

Very slick looking.

That looks like fun! Bet is about the size/weight of a late '03 - '08 340...

Saw that same flyer at the Cleveland boat show but didn't see the boat there. Looks pretty cool.

I don't see the advantage of the open hull side. It looks James Bond ish but doesn't really serve a purpose does it? Maybe a dive platform?

Joe,
It looks like that side folds down & becomes another swim platform. That, coupled with the design & placement of the rear seat, looks like a great hangout spot when anchored in shallow water. I could see this moored off Talisman National Seashore or maybe one of those big lakes in the Midwest.

Just wouldn't work well when rafters up to other boats. I am interested in seeing the interior.

Probably more like the 360DA from that era but I love the seating!

No problemo for rafting, just need to be the outside boat. We need interior pics for sure.

Yep, saw pre-lim drawings for this last summer. SR has to jump on the bandwagon with other builders who have these large bow rider/cuddy
crossovers.

I've really liked this thing since it was released recently. However, at 7 figures fully loaded, it's not exactly on my purchase radar.

FW has sold 3 of these. None currently on order, and they will only build one if it is ordered. Same hull as the V435, so they will have the molds for years to come.

I would have imagined, at that price, with that layout, it would have been pretty niche-y, but damn, 3?

No problem rafting up with those side tip outs......just raft up with shorter boats!

I am taking delivery of a new Formula 350 CBR this spring; retiring a 300 SLX.

After a long and hard look at the 350 SLX, the SR didn't hold a candle to the Formula.

Glad to see SR innovating in the "big bow rider" segment -- while I would have liked to been able to consider the 400 SLX, I'm pretty sure it's out of my price range.

That side platform is a great idea; more outdoor space when at anchor, and it ensures you're always the end boat in a raft up!

 

[hottoddie]

You can always raft up without deploying the side panel. I know it kinda defeats the purpose. Like any bow rider it's a warm weather boat. Wonder what the power options are.

Cool looking.... I like the side platform....I'm scared to ask the price.
