2022 Sea Ray 290 SDX Outboard — Twin 250hp Verado JOYSTICK, Elite Plus & Loaded Options | 82 Hours | MarineMax Norwalk | Call/Text Devinn at (860)938-9783
Indoor and Rack Stored!
This is the 290 SDX Outboard most buyers wish they had ordered the first time. Finished in a striking Sea Ray Blue / Blue / White three-zone gelcoat with Dune Elite Plus interior, it has only 82 hours and is equipped with nearly every factory option that matters: twin Mercury 250 Verado V8s with Joystick Piloting, White Sports Tower, Seadek throughout, vacuum-flush head, cockpit refrigerator, inverter, shore power, windlass, 12" digital dash, and a matching Shoreland'r aluminum trailer. It is ready for Long Island Sound, the Connecticut River, or a weekend at the sandbar.
The SDX 290 Outboard is Sea Ray’s flagship deck boat for a reason. A wide 9-foot beam carried well forward creates an enormous bow lounge and a true entertaining cockpit, while the 21-degree deep-V hull stays planted and comfortable when the Sound kicks up. Twin 250hp Mercury Verado V8s with Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) give you 500 horsepower, quiet four-stroke manners, effortless docking, and Skyhook station-keeping. With engines up the draft is only about 25 inches—ideal for skinny water and easy launching.
**Layout that actually works for a crowd**
Walk through the tempered-glass windshield into a cockpit that feels larger than the 29'2" hull length suggests. Dune upholstery, brown Seadek snap-in flooring in the cockpit and bow, and Seadek on the swim platform keep everything cool and easy to rinse. Reclining aft-facing transom loungers turn the swim platform into a beach club. Add the bow filler cushion and you have a full sunpad forward; drop in the dedicated bow table or teak cockpit table when it’s time to eat. The wet bar area is fully equipped with a cockpit refrigerator and cool box so drinks stay cold without a cooler taking up floor space.
**Helm and systems that feel current**
The captain gets a 12" Digital Dash with Mercury VesselView Link, giving engine data, GPS, and diagnostics on one clean screen. Joystick and digital throttle-and-shift make close-quarters work almost unfairly easy. Premier stereo upgrade plus a pair of white tower speakers keep the soundtrack going whether you’re at idle or on plane. LED lighting package and thru-hull underwater lights make night arrivals look expensive. Docking lights, VHF with antenna, and the flag package finish the electronics list.
**Comfort and convenience most 29-footers skip**
- Vacuum-flush head with holding tank and macerator/seacock interlock
- Head interior upgrade
- Shore-power package with converter and cord
- 12V-to-120V inverter so you can run small appliances away from the dock
- Windlass with rope/chain and stainless-steel anchor (plus the galvanized backup)
- Fender clips, cockpit cover with tonneau, Marine Midnight Blue canvas
- White Sports Tower with bimini and color-matched fiberglass accent panels
This is the difference between a “nice boat” and a boat you can stay on all day without compromise.

This 2022 290 SDX Outboard was optioned as a no-compromise family and entertaining boat and then barely used. At 82 hours it still has the new-boat feel with the hard-to-replicate benefit of a fully sorted options list and a trailer already under it. See it at MarineMax Northeast, 130 Water Street, South Norwalk, CT. Call 203-831-6311 and ask for stock 175441. Ready for survey and sea trial.
