Trasaction Overview

62 Days, 94 Cents on the Dollar | Selling a 2020 Sea Ray SLX280 in South Florida

When a well-maintained, low-hours sport cruiser hits the South Florida boat market with professional representation, the results can be fast. The 2020 Sea Ray SLX280 listed by Miami Yachting is a prime example: 62 days from listing to closing, with 94% of the asking price achieved.

The Vessel

The Sea Ray SLX280 is a premium sport cruiser designed for buyers who want performance, style, and comfort in equal measure. With its distinctive hull design, spacious cockpit, and Volvo IPS drive system, the SLX280 is a recognizable and desirable model in South Florida's luxury day-boat segment. This 2020 example was offered with factory upgrades and a comprehensive service record.

Priced to Perform

Miami Yachting analyzed recent transactions in the SLX-class segment across South Florida and recommended a list price of $125,000 USD. The pricing reflected the boat's exceptional condition while positioning it ahead of competing listings that were priced at or above market.

A Motivated Market Responded Quickly

The listing generated strong immediate interest. Within the first 30 days, Miami Yachting had conducted two serious showings with pre-qualified buyers. The successful buyer-an active South Florida boater with experience in similar platforms-moved quickly once the sea trial confirmed the vessel's performance credentials. An independent marine survey returned a clean report, and negotiations concluded at $118,000 USD.

The Takeaway for Sellers

Speed in the South Florida used boat market comes from the combination of correct pricing, professional presentation, and immediate distribution. This Sea Ray SLX280 sale is a strong example of what happens when all three elements align. Miami Yachting's brokerage team managed the transaction from valuation through closing, including all documentation and buyer coordination, delivering a smooth experience for both parties.
