I like the look of that stingray. Does he have smart tabs though?

    The one thing I will add about the power from the 3.0L is it doesn't have the punch to get the boat out of the water.
    I used to have an early 90's Stingray. That thing was built about as strong as a Clorox bottle... Used to move pretty good though with a 150 Evinrude on the tail. And before Nick asks, no 'Smart Tabs' didn't exist when i had that boat but it was a perfect candidate for a pair. I just couldn't bring myself to install one of those damm hydrofoils so i sold it off and bought the Mariah.

    Seating configurations were optional on that boat.

    And +1 for the "not a factory paint job." Looks like the dashes were removed and painted as well. Sadly, I would have to agree that a close inspection of this boat would probably reveal that it wasn't done the "right way."
