Sea Ray 290 Bowrider Review Boaters continue to ask for bigger and bigger bow riders. And this is one big bow rider. In fact, this could be the biggest and the best bow rider of them all! With a wide 9 8 wave-calming beam and with the power of a MX6.2L MPI Bravo III MCM stern drive behind you, this boat will take you smoothly and comfortably over any water you care to encounter. Hey, have a great day!

When it comes to bowriders we all have some fond memories of a good day on the water but none of us have ever experienced a bow rider quite like this! The Sea Ray 290 Bow Rider and it just might be the biggest bow rider ever! Sea Ray received repeated requests for a larger bow rider with more and more features and thus the birth of the 290.

The 290 has sleek lines and smooth curves reflecting how far bowriders have come in design and style. This updated styling is a welcome sight out on the water or at any dock. The 29 6 length and 98 beam give the boat a solid big boat ride while still keeping to the nimble bow rider appeal.

At the bow theres room and our boat has an anchor roller and a windlass installed next to the sizable anchor locker. The bow seating is really more of a bow lounge with plenty of room to stretch out on the dual front seats or convert it with an insert to make one big sun pad. Beneath each seat is a storage locker for dry gear and dedicated storage for cockpit tables. Theres also an insulated cooler thats perfect for beverages and snacks of all types.

The helm resembles that of a fine luxury car with a burl wood dash, finely crafted gauges and meters, and a Euro style tilt steering wheel. Unique to Sea Ray is this compact electronic keypad with lighted ISO symbols for easy operation of other 12-volt circuits and all accessories are conveniently grouped on two ergonomically friendly keypads. Operational controls are perfectly placed for easy navigation and the helm seat features a flip up thigh rise bolster for added comfort and navigation as well.

Just opposite the helm is this neatly hidden private lockable enclosed head with sink making any day out on the water much more enjoyable for all aboard. The compartment is quite roomy and is nicely finished. Just aft of the head is a fore and aft facing double jump seat with the aft seat being perfect for a spotter to keep the captain informed.

The cockpit is perfect for entertaining thanks to the wet bar with sink and faucet, trash receptacle, and storage cabinet with a handy bottle rack. The crew will be comfortable in the U-shaped cockpit lounge that stimulates conversation and theres even a removable table for snacks and drinks that also inserts up in the bow lounge. Beneath the seating are large storage compartments for gear and lines and theres even dedicated table storage in the bow. The center section of the aft lounge doubles as a transom door making access to the swim platform much easier. The large swim platform has a concealed stainless steel swim ladder and gas assisted yacht style fender storage compartments that are hidden in the Euro style transom.

Engine access is easy through this floor hatch in the cockpit. Theres plenty of room around the engines to easily complete the maintenance schedule and all fills are within easy reach.

The 290 has the ability to handle rough weather or chop thanks in part to the 7700 pound dry weight and the 21 degree deadrise at the stern. Her length of 296 and beam of 98 make her very nimble and easy to handle tracking very well through turns and at high speed. Even docking is easy thanks to the power assisted steering.

The Sea Ray 290 is quite possibly the biggest bow rider ever with great looks and features. With the size and performance of a big boat and the nimbleness of a bow rider, the 290 should soon become the standard by which all other jumbo bow riders are measured.
