Sea Ray® Launches Next Chapter of the Award-Winning Slx® 400 Outboard with Brand-New Engine Option from Mercury Marine® SEA RAY® LAUNCHES NEXT CHAPTER OF THE AWARD-WINNING SLX® 400 OUTBOARD WITH BRAND-NEW ENGINE OPTION FROM MERCURY MARINE® Twin 7.6L V12 600-Horsepower Verado® Outboard Engines Provide Unrivaled Power and Performance KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 11, 2021) — Sea Ray’s award-winning SLX 400 Outboard is beginning a new chapter in luxury boating with a brand-new engine option featuring the latest in legendary propulsion from Mercury®. The SLX 400 Outboard will soon be available with the newly released twin 7.6L V12 600hp Verado outboard engines. Offered as an optional engine upgrade, the 600hp Verado outboard delivers extraordinary range and power encouraging boaters to venture farther to new destinations. With reimagined performance from Mercury, the SLX 400 Outboard will leverage the unwavering strength of the outboard segment’s first V12 powerhead. Mercury crafted the 600hp Verado outboard engine to deliver superior horsepower and performance, in a surprisingly compact package. An innovative steerable gearcase enhances handling and control, particularly at low speeds, and provides a smoother, more refined driving experience. The two-speed automatic transmission doles out torque and acceleration in first gear to get boats on plane quickly, then silently shifts to second for efficient cruising and an impressive top speed. Combined with the most sophisticated digital controls, including Mercury’s Next Gen Digital Throttle & Shift system, and unmatched sound-dampening technology, the features of the 600hp Verado outboard engine elevate the standards of premium design and engineering. “The 600hp Verado, the newest engine advancement from Mercury, was a natural fit as a new power option for the SLX 400 Outboard,” said Steve Langlais, Sea Ray president. “The boat’s legacy as the complete entertainer has now begun a new chapter complemented by the 600hp Verado outboard engine’s astounding power, efficiency-enhancing features, effortless handling and whisper- quiet operation to give boaters an even better on-water experience.” In addition to the new optional twin Mercury 600hp Verado outboard engines, the yacht-certified SLX 400 Outboard offers Joystick Piloting and ample entertainment zones. Its best-in-class layout provides seating for 22 passengers, an abundance of storage space and iconic amenities like the inviting sunpad and fold-down swim terrace. Below deck, a generous cabin that sleeps four creates a comfortable space to escape the elements, relax in the air conditioning or spend the night when staying aboard. Other highlights include an advanced Dual Digital Dash™ helm with Simrad® NSO evo3 16-inch touchscreen displays, a premium Fusion® Apollo RA770 audio system, Quiet Ride™ featuring Tuned Transom® and optional Dynamic Running Surface™. The Mercury 7.6L V12 600hp Verado outboard engine option for the SLX 400 Outboard will be available with model year 2022 production, starting Q321.

  • Fischer Panda US to Equip the New Boston Whaler 350 Challenger
    Fischer Panda US to Equip The New Boston Whaler 350 Challenger Brunswick Commercial and Government Products (BCGP), a leading manufacturer of watercraft for the government and workboat markets, has selected Fischer Panda Generators for their new 350 Challenger. The Boston Whaler OEM installation will involve the Fischer Panda 8 Mini DP AC generator, according to Chad Godwin, director of sales for the U.S. operations for Fischer Panda. Fischer Panda already provides generators for several other Boston Whaler models, including the 305 and 345 Conquest and 370 Outrage models. The 350 Challenger is a new Boston Whaler model manufactured by BCGP for military, law enforcement, port security, search and rescue (SAR), and workboat operations. The new 35-foot, 11-inch walkaround cabin model features an open cockpit and center helm layout for 360-degree access to facilitate boardings and other maneuvers. The 350 Challenger holds 421 gallons of fuel, and can be powered by dual or triple outboard engines up to 900 total horsepower. BCGP’s order, according to Godwin, continues the growth for Fischer Panda, where the reliable 8 Mini DP AC generator is netting strong sales. Powered by the reliable freshwater cooled Kubota Z428 twin cylinder diesel with Fischer Panda’s trademark freshwater-cooled asynchronous electrical end, the 8 Mini provides Fischer Panda North America with a recession-resilient sales leader, a big favorite in the 30 to 38 foot sportfishing power market as well as government and commercial users,' said Godwin. “More OEMs are switching to Fischer Panda, which are rated as the smallest, lightest, quietest and most efficient marine diesel generators in the world,” he added.

  • Boston Whaler Celebrates 50Th Anniversary; Remains the Unsinkable Legend
    July 23, 2007 Boston Whaler Celebrates 50th Anniversary; Remains the Unsinkable Legend EDGEWATER, Fla., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boston Whaler, perhaps the most recognizable name in recreational and commercial boating, will soon celebrate 50 years of success. Known for its rugged durability, performance, smooth ride and "unsinkability," Boston Whaler has been the talk of boating enthusiasts and the boating industry for decades. The chatter began in 1958 when Richard T. Fisher -- a Harvard-educated engineer by trade and a boater by choice -- in partnership with naval designer C. Raymond Hunt, first introduced the Boston Whaler at the New York Boat Show. No one had seen a boat quite like it before. Two features set this boat apart from the others. -- It had an odd-shaped body that resembled a seagull in flight rather than the traditional "V" shape found on most pleasure craft of that day. -- Its body was constructed using the revolutionary Unibond(TM) construction process by which protective fiberglass skin and foam fuse to create a extremely durable and buoyant vessel. The talk continued in 1961 when Boston Whaler was thrust into the international limelight. In its May 19, 1961, issue, Life magazine featured photographs of Fisher sitting in a Boston Whaler as it was being sawed in half from below with a buck saw. Subsequent photographs depicted Fisher casually driving away in only half a boat. Thus, the "Unsinkable Legend" was born. Following this marketing stunt, Boston Whaler quickly earned a reputation for being a tough work boat in the challenging waters of coastal New England. Since then, the boats have attracted an intensely loyal group of owners.

  • Dean Kuti 386/409-6443 BOSTON WHALER INTRODUCES the 190 NANTUCKET
    NEWS RELEASE FOR RELEASE AFTER 2/13/03 Contact: Dean Kuti 386/409-6443 BOSTON WHALER INTRODUCES THE 190 NANTUCKET (Edgewater, Florida) At the Miami International Boat Show, Boston Whaler unveiled the newest and largest addition to its series of attractively priced boat/motor/trailer packages. The 190 Nantucket center console model is 18’10” long and has an eight-foot beam. It comes standard with a Mercury Marine 115 horsepower EXLPTO engine and a galvanized trailer with drum brakes and flush kit. The base package has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $27,564 (price does not include freight or dealer prep charges). Although it draws only 12 inches affording shallow water operation, the 190 Nantucket’s deep-V hull entry and 22” interior freeboard make it equally suited for operation offshore. Its 60-gallon fuel capacity ensures ample range for fishing or cruising. A leaning post with storage is standard but the mounting hardware also accommodates installation of pedestal seats in lieu of the leaning post. The optional pedestal seats are designed so that they can be positioned facing aft to serve as an observer’s seat for water sports or to view lines while trolling. The fiberglass base supporting both the leaning post and the pedestal seat option houses easily accessible storage or it can be plumbed as an optional livewell with the leaning post configuration. The 190 Nantucket has ample storage and convenient features to promote fishing, cruising or water sports. The bow anchor locker features a divider that creates a separate side storage area for gear.
