Pretty interesting layout. Love the master stateroom!
 
I too love the master stateroom. What size equivalent is the bunk? I find the newer boats with smaller beds much less appealing then my large fwd bunk!

Also, It looks like it would be difficult to back down into a slip with the position of the helm where it is on the fly bridge?

I like the look of it thanks for sharing with us!
 
Just imagine having to climb up and change the bulb on the mast light. That thing is UP there.
 
Interesting. Why are there QSC's in this and not QSM's? The boat weighs as much as mine but has smaller engines... Is this a V-Drive boat?

Four Suns -- The intro brochure only lists base power. There will likely be a QSM11 upgrade and the boat is available in Zeus or VDrive configurations.

The master stateroom features a standard queen berth (fits any standard queen mattress). As for visibility while backing up, the bridge stairs and helm are both aligned on the starboard side, giving you a direct sightline to the starboard aft corner. Of course, there are cameras for reverse (and the engine room) available that show up on the huge MFDs, but I've never been great at using those for my primary bearings. I prefer to see the starboard corner and get my port bearings from there with an occasional glance at the displays confirm where I think the port aft corner is.
 
Interesting … why is the design direction by Sea Ray to copy all the Euro manufacturing styles both inside and out? Glad they at least kept 3 staterooms (one of the only manufacturers that continues to make a ’50 with 3 SR’s). Give me a ’98-’04 480 SB over this any day … even the current 50-52 SB layout is preferred IMO. Wondering if all flooplans require lower helm – or if it is an option. I can see why many may like the full beam master …

SR has lost market share to the "Euro" builders here in the US over the last several years, it's catch up time for SR. They will succeed with boats like this, and the new 580DA and 640DA coming out in the near future. I like this 510, good job SR !!
 
There are three dynamics at play that have caused the company to lose share in the 30- to 50-foot fiberglass inboard and sterndrive segment, McCoy said. “The U.S. boat market has, even though it’s not growing a lot, is still the best boat market in the world for competitors to come to,” he said. “And there are some great brands throughout the world, for instance, in Europe, that are having great difficulty in their markets and they focused very much on coming to the United States.”

Brunswick plans more 50-feet-and-under models

 
I really like the fact that SeaRay is interested in CSR and sharing this sneak peak with us.Lets hope it's a relationship that continues way.....into the future and helps steer the brand to continued success!


Thanks Matt

The top three companies building bridge boats (by sales this year) in North America are Sea Ray, Meridian and Azimut, in that order. So far this year, Sea Ray has outsold Azimut 2-1. The list drops off dramatically after Azimut. The next two companies that build bridge boats that are on the list are Princess and Viking, and their sales together don't equal Azimut's sales. So, Sea Ray does pretty well in the North America.

HOWEVER, the total bridge boat market outside North America is roughly 2-3 times the size of the North American market. Brands like Azimut, Sunseeker, Prestige, Ferretti, Monte Carlo, etc all do quite well in international markets where Sea Ray is still getting established as a big boat leader. The new Sea Ray bridge designs are intended to help us lead both in North America and outside it.

There are still a lot of traditional elements (wood finishes, soft goods) available on the Sea Rays (not necessarily depicted in this one intro brochure) that make it feel quite traditional, even as we help evolve the category overall.

Thank you that worked!

Beautiful boat. The one thing that jumps out at me is the helm seat up on bridge. It looks like your sitting on the floor. Hopefully it is just an illusion. That may work for a 23 foot run about, but I can't imagine owning a 50+ yacht and sitting in that seat. Can't see over the dash, don't see a way to stand and drive and my back hurts just looking at it. (Not many young guys can afford these boats it is mostly old guys with bad backs :wink: )

Great eye for detail, Vince! I think it's a combination of an illusion and perhaps an error in the rendering. The boat will have proper helm ergonomics, seated or standing. -- Matt
 
Impressive master stateroom for a 50 foot bridge boat, I think that is going to be a big selling point for a boat like this. I also like the optional hardtop for the bridge deck, I see so many of the latest bridge boats from the euro builders not advertising a hardtop and my only thought is "who is going to want to be up there baking all day in the sun". I'm sure they have them, and I can't imagine a reason why a prospective owner wouldn't want the hardtop.

500 gallons fuel US seems a little bit light for this class, perhaps this is an international brochure and this is listed in imperial gallons?

Hopefully some of our 48,52 etc Sedan Bridge owners will come by and give you some valuable feedback.
