Stingray refuses to be happy with the status quo in either technology or customer service. This relentless pursuit of quality has resulted in our unique models, themselves resulting from a design process that emphasizes quality control from the sketching stage to adding the final logo. These are the Stingray Distinctions.
Whether your Stingray is an openbow, sportboat, or a cruiser, Stingray has translated its technical knowledge into a design to meet the demand. Because the quality is designed and manufactured into each Stingray boat, we are confident of its merit and stand behind it. See your Stingray dealer for details.
As a member of the National Marine Manufacturers Association, Stingray follows well respected industry standards involving wiring, fuel tank design and installation, emergency flotation, engine ventilation, etc...
Ergonomic Design - Using human engineering data published by MIT, we created Oscar, a 3-D computer figure. By placing Oscar in the cabin, helm, or any seat, we can make informed decisions on a variety of design parameters. There is always adequate leg room and headroom, correct helm position, convenient control locations and overall comfort. Oscar eliminates months of trial and error.
Pressure Treated Wood - Stingray uses plywood panels impregnated with oxide formulated preservatives. The plywood is resistant to decay or rot and protects against termites and other wood eating insects.
Lamination - Stingray's thorough lamination process combines robotics and skilled craftsmanship. Starting with precision molds, our quality construction consists of top quality materials including hand laid fiberglass with Klegecel and Coremat cores, for a high strength to weight ratio.
Notched Transom - The zp-hull has a racing style notched transom, allowing the engine to be mounted higher for less drag, enhanced fuel efficiency and top speed. Also, the drain plug fastens in solid fiberglass, preventing water seepage into the transom core.
Patented Z-Plane Hull - Conventional strakes create pockets of air that get trapped beneath the hull and interfere with the smooth flow of water over the propeller. The result is decreased performance. Stingray's z-plane hull has no vertical edge - no air bubbles - just the most efficient v-hull available.
Fiberglass Stringer Systems - All fiberglass, foam-filled stringer system will never rot; includes steel motor mount inserts with rubber insulators. (Fiberglass stringer available on most models.)
Fiberglass Cockpit Liner - For the most avid boater, we supply this low-maintenance full fiberglass liner with a nonskid surface.
Fiberglass Cabin Liner - Stingray's one piece fiberglass cabin liner requires more effort than most companies are willing to expend. We believe the added strength and design possibilities are worth it. For low maintenance and durability, it's hard to beat. Computer aided design helps us to make the best use of available space.
Generous Storage - Aboard every Stingray you'll discover ample storage space in the bow, sidepanels, glove box and in-floor ski storage. XL interiors offer storage under the benchseat and on both sides of the engine, giving you a noticeable advantage both as storage and maintenance elbow room.
Anchor Locker - This anchor storage locker in the bow holds the anchor and rope in a convenient location for quick and easy access.
Stainless Steel Hardware - Stingray uses high-grade stainless steel hardware supported with glassed in backing plates.
Power Steering - Power steering makes driving your new Stingray as easy as driving your car.
Curved Safety Glass Windshields - Our stylish windshields offer good looks and excellent visibility.
Dashes Designed With Electronics In Mind - On the larger cuddy cruisers, you'll find our newly designed dash. Along with the full instrumentation and convenient drink holder, we've included space for your additional electronics.
Teleflex Gauges - Full instrumentation by Teleflex includes an hour meter located in the tachometer and a trim gauge as standard equipment.
Premium Sound System - Our high output marine stereos provide clear sound through all-weather, 100 watt water resistant speakers.
Contoured Bow Seats - Our unique contoured bow seat incorporates safety features while adding to your comfort.
Lounge Seats - To accommodate all your boating needs, lounge seats have three positions for relaxing and sunning; they also feature fore and aft adjustment.
Polypropylene Core Lounge and Bucket Seats - Our bucket seats are constructed of injection molded polypropylene cores instead of wood. Molded foam inserts are covered with 36 oz. UV-stable vinyls that have incredible puncture resistance and a thicker skin than most.
Hi-Low Jump Seats - This clever feature allows you a variety of uses for the same interior. They quickly convert from jump seats to a full width sundeck.
Stainless Steel Boarding Ladder - Our two-step and three-step boarding ladders make getting in and out of the water easy, and they fold neatly onto the swim platform.
Full-Width Integrated Swim Platform - For safety and convenience, the swim platform has a nonskid surface.
Bow Access Step - Cuddy models include a convenient bow access step that folds away when not in use.
UV-Stable 20 oz. Carpet - We use a single seamless covering of 20 oz. UV-stable marine carpet on the floor and hull sides, as well as inside the ski locker.
Attention to Detail - Stainless steel hardware. Polypropylene seat frames. Carpeted storage. Exclusive Z-Plane Hull. At Stingray, we sweat the details to make sure you have a quality product that will be a pleasure to own for many years.
