For those who prefer a refined look and added storage space over bowrider seating, Sea Ray offers a deck version - the Sea Ray 180 Closed Bow. This boat features the same jazzy graphics, toast-tweed canvas, and a choice of three seating plans as its sister model - but with a durable foredeck that conceals abundant storage below. With every inch of its 18 feet ingeniously designed, the 180 Closed Bow features a standard swivel bucket helm seat, portside back-to-back lounger and hi-lo aft jump seats that form a convenient sunpad. Two additional seating plans allow a choice of either two bucket seats forward with an aft bench seat and sunpad; or two back-to-back lounger seats with the same hi-lo aft jump seats as the standard plan. Additional storage space can be found in the cockpit side panels and in a ski and kneeboard storage compartment with vinyl matting to protect against mold and mildew by draining off excess water. This boat has a standard Clarion AM/FM digital cassette stereo with two waterproof speakers. There's a built-in insulated ice chest and plenty of beverage holders. Marine-grade carpet, an insulated engine compartment and a convertible top can keep the ride comfortable, dry and quiet. The 180 Closed Bow can also tackle any number of water sports with its stainless steel ski tow eye and integral swim platform equipped with a stainless steel swim ladder that has three steps instead of the usual two. At the helm, the custom soft-touch dash and visor house the 180 Closed Bow¿s gauges which include tachometer, fuel gauge, speedometer, oil pressure gauge and more. Technical features like the standard 135-horsepower Alpha I MCM stern drive, an automatic bilge pump, power steering, and power tilt and trim allow even first-time owners to pilot the boat easily.
