2005 Stingray 185 LS/LX
The Stingray 185 LS/LX bowrider is compact but packed full of features seldom seen in a package this size. The helm features a sporty Dino Italian steering wheel, and a full array of instruments, backlit and trimmed in rich woodgrain paneling. The dash has a lower rake than previous models for better visibility. The dash also has a digital hour meter and a 12-volt receptacle for charging cell phones, spotlights, or other accessories. On the passenger side is a locking glove box, oversized drink holder, heavy-duty stainless grab rail, a flat spot to mount electronics and a radio/CD mount recessed beneath the windshield for optimum protection. The bow is wider and longer than the 180 predecessor. Solid stainless steel rails, not plastic handles, line the perimeter. Forward of the two well-padded, roll-and-pleated lounge seats is an insulated cooler with a non-skid hatch that doubles as a boarding step. Oversize drink holders flank the cooler. The 185 L is available in two seating configurations: X and S. The X model sports two adjustable buckets with a full-width rear lounge and sunpad. The S version offers a driver's bucket, an adjustable back-to-back lounge and aft jump seats.
2012 Stingray 195 RX The 195RX is billed as an entry-level boat, but it's got a list of amenities that puts it firmly in the elite ranks of the value category. Standard features abound: storage lockers in the bow and under the deck to stow water toys and safety gear, an upholstery package that includes allweather marine carpet and stain-resistant 36-ounce vinyl seats, a pair of three-way adjustable helm chairs, backlit instrumentation and indirect LED interior lighting are just a few of the items that make this eight-passenger boat a pleasure to own. It also has a large sunpad, and a telescoping stainless steel boarding ladder built into the swim platform, so it's well-quipped to allow you to enjoy the marine audio system while soaking up the sun or taking a dip.Ample power is provided by a clean, reliable 135-hp Mercury MerCruiser 3.0L MPI ECT engine, matched with the venerable Alpha sterndrive. The engine features Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection, for easy starts, regardless of temperature, smooth stable idling, and best of all increased fuel efficiency. The engine compartment is equipped with a high-output bilge blower for added peace of mind. Power steering is also standard for maximum maneuverability and driver comfort.At 19 feet, 6 inches long (5.9 m) and with a beam of 91 inches (231cm), the 195RX provides plenty of room for family and friends, as well as a comfortable ride. Its exclusive Z-Plane hull also delivers a top speed of 45 mph and superior fuel efficiency. At a 30 mph cruise, the 195RX gets an astonishing 4.8 mpg, so long days on the lake won't end up with a big bill at the fuel dock.The Convenience Package includes all of the features listed above, plus a stand-up bimini top, transom-mounted drive tilt switch, 1,100 gallons per-hour automatic bilge pump and an MP3/USB port in the audio system.
