2001 Stingray 240 LS
Solid engineering and a race-bred design make the Stingray 240 LS a standout. Even with a sink, Porta-Potti, transom shower, and a host of other luxurious amenities, the 240 LS still feels like a sportboat. The 240's spacious cockpit layout is dominated by a wrap-around stern lounge accompanied by a pair of comfortable swivel buckets. Amidships there's a freshwater sink on the portside and an icebox on the starboard side. The port console houses a generously-sized head compartment with an overhead light and a porthole. A Bimini top with windshield filler comes standard, as does an AM/FM CD audio system. Bolted grabrails are properly placed and the fiberglass liner is self-bailing and surfaced with non-skid. Dockside boarding is made more secure with a wet stowage box / transom step that's molded onto the aft platform. The 240 LS has a ski locker in the cockpit floor to stow the gear when underway.
2001 Stingray 240 LS Stingray Boats was an early proponent of computerization and automation in boatbuilding. It has continued that commitment to technology and the result is a line of sport boats with top performance and high construction quality. The Z in the patented Z-plane hull refers to the slightly reversed chines and strakes (with a Z shape) in the hull, plus keel and transom configurations that contribute to improved planing, lower fuel consumption and better handling. The hull bites in the water when it's needed (in the corners) yet allows a higher -aspect ride to reduce drag at speed. On the water the boat comes through in the performance department. Waves and rough wate? No Problem. Handling is also steady through hard "S" turns and other test manoeuvers. - 24' BOW RIDER
I have had this boat for 2 years now and it has served me very well. It starts up every time, very smooth on the water regardless of the conditions, strong V-8 Volvo engine, and has plenty of space. There are definitely some cosmetic issues that could be fixed, but overall the boat is water-ready
