First impressions for this new Stingray 208LR bowrider is that perhaps this boat is one of the finest best designed 20' bow riders for Muskoka, Haliburton or the Kawarthas. Stingray already recogized for best in class performance with their patented Z Plane hull technology. Added to that now is style and comfort for up to 8 adults with big water preformance with the benefit of reduced fuel consumption. Stingay Boats have up until now had a style that incorporates a fuel efficient more pointed bow area. The somewhat narrower bow seating area than say a Four Winns or Monterey Boat was designed to reduce the bow wave created during the hull pushing through the water under load.
The new 208LR advances Stingray's exclusive Z Plane hull technology to a new level and now provides that larger bow seating area may families enjoy. As an additional benefit Stingay has improved the now starboard rear entry allowing for easy walk through transom boarding comfort. Stingray continues to utilize 36 oz. Prefix coated vinyls which represents a level of quality similar to Cobalt. Stingray Boats unlike many boat manufacturers designs and builds all of their upholstery with the stitching detail surpassing many of its competitors. Also new for 2011 Stingay Boats will factory install a high quality tailored wake board package. The large moulded extended swim platform has cup holders a nice touch with the included wet storage area for ropes. The extended swim platform makes a great watersports jump off area.
Now lets talk performance! Our test boat 208LR Stingray bowrider was equipped with 4.3L V6 220 HP Mercruiser engine package with an Alpha drive and a three blade aluminum propeller. Stingray has for many years achieved superior performance with less horsepower saving you considerable fuel and operating costs. The new Stingray 208LR continues this trend with impressive speeds to 55 MPH with just 220 HP. Normally with a full 20' bow rider competitive brands to achieve this level of performance require a 5.0L MPI 260 HP engine package. The 208LR has quick on plane acceleration in just 3.2 seconds.
The Stingray 208LR bow rider is available now for spring delivery ready for Muskoka or many family adventures throughout Ontario fine waterways. Suggested pricing of just under $37,000 is a steal!
