I remember shopping for a new boat at the Boston boat show 3 years ago and stopping at the Stingray dealer. We were shopping because the Stingray sport cuddy was toast, required a completely new deck, front to back. Even the stringers were gone. The salesman, open shirted and completed with gold chains, assured us that the new boats didn't have any issues since the deck was (and I quote), encapsized.

I found the quality to be lacking, seriously. As the years go on, you will notice the difference between a Stingray and a more expensive boat. The hardware etc is lower quality stuff.

Oh, and as many other have mentioned, you will get tossed around when it's rough out there.

The 2010 Stingrays we looked at had snap in carpets.....
