Looking at a 200CS cuddy cabin. Seems like a real nice boat, but to tell you the truth I'm not familiar with Stingray. I have a Searay 18' 1999 bowrider right now and would like to go with a cuddy. The stringray is a nice price. Anything I should know? Thanks

Every one I have ever seen was faded.Red seemed to be their color and it did not hold up well. Charlie

I have a Stingray. A '95 656 zp with a 5.7 liter. It is teal and white and the color seems to be holding up fine. It is a well made boat and I haven't had any problems out of it.

I have a 2003 Stingray 180LS. The craftsmanship isn't as good as a Sea Ray IMO, but the price is less also. Take it for a spin first. Stingrays have a bad rep for porpoising without tabs.
