Can't wait to see what's coming for the 2015 MY...

Looks like the 220SD is getting a new swim platform with a fold down step....

And Marine Max is teasing what appears to be a new 270 Sundeck?

Personally, I'm hoping to see the new Sport(s) that were referenced when SR canceled the Jets.

Yup - replaces the 260SD. It's a little more than 8'6" wide now, but not by much. VERY cool cockpit layout.

As a dealer. do you know when Sea Ray will share this with the rest of the world Dennis?

Their web site always lags way behind new models when they are introduced. (After all, the Digital Brochures available on their site are for the 2013 models rather than the 2014 models).
 
I wonder if they have made any changes to the Sport 190...

Just checked the gallery on the new 220 SD, man that is a sweet looking boat.
If only I had a bigger truck... more money... more...
:)

Man that 270 is UGLY. I do not like it at all. Too square like a box.

I have to respectfully disagree...that is a NICE boat. It gives you the space of a pontoon but wrapped in a good looking sport boat. I bet the price tag will be huge.
 
I must disagree Tonka. Looks like a shoe box with a swim platform. I guess how they sell will be the deciding factor. I do like your Cobalt
 
Of course styling is always subjective, but I like the new design - specifically the rear swim platform and how it's integrated into the deck mold. Certainly bigger than anything I'd ever need, but it looks like there's a ton of space. Also, I suspect the driver's seat back can be flipped forward (like the passenger seat on the 240)? And does it have front and rear fuel fills on the starboard sides of the boat? If so, that's a convenient feature. If there's anyting that doesn't "WOW" me, I'd say it's the graphics. They're nice, but I prefer the optional packages on the 220/240...or just a plain ol' boot stripe like on the SLX's. (Gotta plug the SLX wherever I can! :) )

Like NorCalGlenn said, styling is subjective.... at least we agree on my Cobalt ;-)
 
I'm not a huge fan of the graphics either, but I like the shape. What I really don't like is how everyone has gone to these rear facing seats that take up a ton of room that could be used for more interior space. You can't sit there while moving (legally) and make more leg room inside the actual boat.
 
I do not care for the retro windshield (though Cobalt seems to be doing well with this style). In addition, the w/s looks disproportionately small when compared to the overall size of the boat. The bow appears to be a bit too blunt for my tastes as well. The 270 SLX would be my choice. That being said, I am sure SR will sell plenty.
 
Mixed about that 270. Finish looks fantastic, but I agree with some of the other posts. There has to be a better way to do the aft seat. I think I'll stay with my model that does away with the starboard seating but has a giant double sink/cooler/storage area. An older 300 does it one better with a grill as well. Not a fan of the blunt nose but the seating there looks great. Yacht certified for my older one, but reality is around 12 people.
