Cuddy is huge and yes it has a fridge. also a transom shower.My wife loves the boat.We probably will never use the stingray again.I'll let you guys know about the ride of the boat.The delta pad should help over all performance.

That's a beautiful boat, and unfortunatly for me, the boat I was trying to buy from Ron the week before you bought it. I had a personal issue pop up that I couldn't avoid and was unable to get in contact with Ron until today actually, but stopped by to see the boat and found it had been sold.. Ron and his dealership are fantastic people and you got a really great deal on that boat, my current Rinker came from his shop, and I hope to do business with him again sometime in a search for this same boat!.. I hope you take care of her, she's a beaut.

Sorry you missed it.Hope everything else is ok for you.I would love to do biz with them again.It was a nice experience dealing with them and all their employees. Their place is older with no flash but incredibly clean and organized.I kind of feel like I stole it.I offered a low number and they told me what they owned the boat for and asked me for another offer.They claim they sold me the boat for 500 over cost.They even beat the rate I had for the financing.So we bought a tube also.I think I will buy other accessories from them and have it shipped to my home instead of using the big guys.Good luck in your search,there is not many of these around.

This vacation is already arranged.I am coming to the bay with Nstylx before the seasons over for sure.He said he'll show me around.Not bringing the Stingray if the wife comes. :laugher: She is in love with the new to us boat for sure.She said this is what we should have bought in the beginning. :rolleyes:

Not yet,just got back from Raystown.My wifes boat is pretty cool and was as expected.Did 61.8.Pretty slow but it was half full of gas.Speaking of gas ,I am not used to buying sooo much.OUCH!

Your probably right.I used my 23 hydromotive prop on it.It did 59.5 with the 21 mirage it came with.My wife wants a camper top and air :rolleyes: Looks like this will be the camper boat.She keeps telling her friends she doesn't need a crash helmet and ear plugs for the new boat.It ran well in some cross chop from some big cruisers.My boat would have rattled my teeth. :laugher: The fridge is a great feature.The L shaped lounge seat is very comfortable.I haven't been on many different boats so I can't compare.It planes faster than I thought and I didn't use any tabs.Oh,it's a lot bigger to wash also. :lick:The stereo is a Clarion but it sucks.Any suggestions on new speakers,amp and head unit?There is no power outlets either.Unless I can't find them.

A camper boat... That's a good one.. :bigsmile:

Having some nice luxuries on board is nice, and trust me, it will make you want more later on.. Just like a speed boat always makes you wanting more speed.

I have always had 2 different taste in boat's since I was a kid, A big luxurious boat and an all out speed boat.. It's very hard to have both all in one single boat without some sort of compromise.. many come close, but there's always something you wish was different..

If I had deeper pockets, I'd have this, And maybe put my XLT on the deck.. of-course I'd have to paint it 1st to match the new boat. :winker:

Thanks Jim,so what is the accessory switch for?My wife isn't sure about selling my boat.First get rid of it,then you better keep it.I am having a hard time making up my mind.We were all for selling it,then came home and saw it again.I don't know why I am so attached to it.It's almost finished but I did run into some problems.She wants me to put it in the barn and tinker with it and keep my wrenches off hers. :laugher: I have learned after 28 yrs of marriage,sometimes she's right. :confused1
