Stingray 185 LX

Selling my 2006 Stingray 185 LX Speedboat with only 160 Hours on the meter. Boat measures 18 feet 5 inches long and hold 7 persons (or 1070 lbs.). This is a clean, well maintained boat that was only used in fresh water and launched / removed when used. It was never left in the water for any long period of time during my use or the previous owners use. I will let the pictures speak for themselves as for condition. The boat was always stored in a heated garage during my use and the previous owners use. Never stored on a lift.

If you arent familiar with Stingray as a boat manufacturer, do visit their website for more information about their efficient patented Z-Plane hulls and quality control. Big benefit & you can also find more details there about the 185LX.

Exterior

Two-tone Hull with optional graphics & pinstripe.Rear platform w/ self-storing stainless folding ladder. The boat has some scuffs and scratches as expected in normal caring use. The hull looks really nice and was wiped down after every use.Exterior was waxed yearly.

Interior

Twin rotating bucket seats up front and long rear bench plus padded sun deck. Carpet is clean and in good condition. Boat has a lot of storage (some shown in pics). Several cup holders plus a glove box and storage coves along both sides. Back bench and both front seat cushions rise and have carpeted storage as well as a large plastic under floor access cover. Also has a large storage area on both sides of motor. There is one small tear at the bottom of the back cushion which was there when I bought it (probably from a ski removed from under floor storage compartment see pic).There are interior lights for night use.Has a Kenwood AM/FM CD Player w/ removable face. Factory installed Faria Digital Depth Sounder.

Tops

The boat comes with the original optional Sunbrella canvas full snap storage covers (see pic). Stored against the back of the engine compartment is a Sunbrella cockpit cover used for rain I believe but never used in my ownership. After I purchased in 2014, I added a Carver Bimini Cover w/ Sunbrella fabric & Stainless steel hardware. This was a huge improvement on hot summer days when relaxing or just to get a break from the Sun.

Motor & Sterndrive

Boat has a Volvo Penta 3.0L 135 HP engine which did everything we needed for skiers or tubing. Very good on gas and never had a problem. I replaced the cooling Impeller w/ OEM in 2016. Just last year, I invested in the Mercruiser Oil Drain System which allows oil to be easily drained from the drain plug Big timesaver for future changes. The engine had fresh oil and filter change at the same time.Stern drive is Volvo SX OMC and shifts very smooth forward to reverse. Has Power steering which was also an option I believe.

Trailer

E-Z load with a collapsible tong for storage. All LED lighting. The fenders a thick plastic 3 step for ease to get in and out of the boat when on the trailer. I also added a large step to the front which makes it very convenient to get out of the front as well. Wheel bearings are lubricated with a Reliable Oil Bath System. You simply drain with a set screw and fill with 50W Motor oil.

Extras

I am Including a new set of (4) life vests, Anchor & Rope, side bumpers, rope, Safety Whistle, Fire Extinguisher, Original owners manual with fact sheet (key number, VIN #s, Options, etc.), Depth Sounder Manual and Radio Manual.
