Is there any member on this forum that owns a Stingray Boat?
Glad you asked. <br />I went to the boat show having researched the 240CS and in my mind, it was the boat to beat. The Glastron had a helm seat with a flip up bolster as opposed to the Stingray's bench style seat (I suffered a painfull back injury while sitting and driving the smaller Stingray so I was particularly concerned about being able to stand or lean while operating the boat). The Glastron had an anchor pulpit and roller, I don't recall the 240CS having one. The aft cabin on the 240CS had such a small entrance that one had to go all the way into the aft cabin and turn around to exit. My wife refused to even enter it. The Glastron had a solid transom door while the CS240 hade a wire gate. There may have been other issues that excape my mind at the present.<br /><br />Oddly, the Glastron dealer was willing to write a contract based on my word on the condition of my one year old Stingray trade in while the Stingray dealer who had sold me the boat in the first place a year ago would have required me to bring the boat in for an appraisal before quoting me a price.<br /><br />I wanted the Stingray to win out but in the final analysis, for us, it didn't.<br /><br />BTW: We looked at the equivalent Bayliner and other brands that slip my mind.Originally posted by DeliveryCaptain:<br /> WHY would someone BUY a 249 GlastroN?? when they could of gotten a 240CS StingRay w/ more Room, and Better Warranty,, I am REALLY Confused?
