New and improved is an often misused phrase, but when it comes to the 195LS and 195LX it couldn't be more appropriate. These models replace their shorter 19-foot versions and boast many enhancements designed to make good, better.
Performance is one area where these 19 foot 6 inch bowriders really shine. Independent magazine tests confirmed that the former 190L outperformed competitive 19-footers across the board, but tests now reveal that the new 195's deliver even better performance numbers. Much of the reason is because the new 195's ride on Stingray's next-generation Z-Plane hull. Hull refinements include special contours to the running surface that extend beneath both sides of the integrated swim platform and create virtually three-point contact with the water at high speeds. The new hull performs so well that these boats surpass 60 miles per hour with merely a V-6 sterndrive for power! The competition needs a V-8 to achieve the same mark. Look as you will, you won't find better performing, more fuel-efficient, 19 ft. family bowriders anywhere!
Both models include curved bow seats that enhance both ergonomics and aesthetics, no-snag pop-up cleats, new dashes with increased visibility, larger swim platforms with recessed boarding ladders, more functional flat-mount glove boxes with top access and hinged floor stowage compartments.
Standard features found on both models include a Kenwood hi-power audio system, woodgrain instrument panel, engine hour meter, integrated cooler in the bow that doubles as a step, MyStingray.com personal web site and much more. To do its part in protecting our precious environment Stingray uses low VOC laminating resins and gel coats.
