Re: Need boat buying advice
Based on what you have described that sounds like a good deal. I would shop around and see what else you could get for the same price. If there are comparable boats out there then you should only buy the stingray if it has the layout that you like. If it seems like the price couldn't be touched then.. well you get the idea.
Yes, stingrays are good boats. I believe the only wood is in the transom and floor and not the stringers.
The boat is only 4 years old but remember that boats can see more deterioration due to neglect than due to use. Especially if they sit for long periods. For that price I'd definitely have it surveyed. Even if the price seems to good to be true, delamination, wet foam, or other problems could turn it into a nightmare.
The above is only my opinion so take it for what it's worth.
