2002 stingray 190 LX

The 190 LX is one of those hulls that feels bigger than its length once you’re aboard. The bow has enough space for adults to stretch out without knocking knees, and the wraparound windshield gives solid protection when the breeze picks up. Stingray is known for efficient, quick-planing hulls, so you’ll feel that MerCruiser lift you onto plane without needing to trim and fuss all day. The helm layout is simple and intuitive, with good sightlines over the bow, making it a stress-free boat for newer captains. Out back, the integrated swim platform and ladder make it easy for kids and guests to slip in and out of the water between runs.

In this part of the coast, you need a boat that can handle a mix of narrow creeks, open river stretches, and choppier afternoons when the wind comes up. The Stingray 190 LX is ideal for that blend: shallow enough to poke into skinny water, yet solid and confident when the breeze and boat wakes build. Its efficient V6 means you can explore sandbars, restaurant docks, and long no-wake zones without feeling every fuel stop in your wallet. The roomy bow and cockpit give family and friends plenty of space, while the compact footprint makes it easy to trailer, launch, and store between weekend adventures.
