The Stingray 180 LS/LX is a good boat for first time buyers - it's not easy to find a boat with more features or performance for the money. With Stingray's patented Z-plane hull, this is a boat that performs exceptionally well without the expense of a bigger engine. Stainless steel windshield braces add a touch of luxury as well as durability to the cockpit. The Teleflex backlit gauges have stainless steel bezels and are attractively crafted into the helm, which includes an engine-hour meter. LS models come with a swivel bucket and back-to-back lounge seat, or two swivel buckets. LX models have dual swivel buckets, a full-width aft bench seat and a sundeck with racing-style bolsters. Seats are crafted with polypropylene cores that will never rot, then covered with thick foam pads and 32-ounce puncture-resistant vinyl. The convertible top is constructed with long lasting Sunbrella acrylic fabric. In the floor is a generous ski locker to hold favorite water toys. To complete the boating pleasure, a high-powered AM/FM cassette audio system is standard equipment.
