A garage kept find!
• One-Owner • Freshwater
• 470 Hours • Turnkey
If you've been searching for an affordable, easy-to-own sport boat with classic styling, proven V8 power, and the ownership history buyers rarely find, this 1997 Stingray 200CS deserves a serious look.
Some older boats simply feel used. This one feels preserved.
Owned by the same family since new in 1997, this boat has spent its life primarily on Lake Washington, always trailered, and stored inside a heated garage in Redmond. That combination-one owner, freshwater use, indoor storage, and only 471 original hours-is what separates a typical older runabout from a standout example.
Powered by the reliable MerCruiser 5.7L V8, this boat delivers the kind of boating people actually want for Pacific Northwest summers: easy trailering, quick launching, sporty handling, comfortable cruising, room for friends, and even overnight capability for spontaneous weekends.
This is the kind of boat that offers tremendous fun, usability, and capability without the cost and complexity of larger boats.
Shown by appointment at our docks on Lake Union. Now is the time to get ready for summer fun!

Why This Boat Stands Out
- ONE OWNER since new
- Always kept in a heated garage
- Bright and shiny, Gel Coat looks amazing with no fading of color
- Nearly exclusive freshwater use on Lake Washington
- Extremely light use with only approx. 470 hours
- Mer Cruiser 5.7L V8 (210HP)
- Z plane hull is efficient with top speed of around 55 MPH
- Recent engine service completed in May 2026
- Includes a dual-axle trailer with newer tires
- Sunbrella cockpit cover and full trailer cover
Built for Real Summer Fun
The Stingray 200CS was designed as a sporty cuddy cabin that blends performance with practical usability. It is large enough to spend the day comfortably with friends or family, yet compact enough to trailer and launch without hassle.
For Pacific Northwest buyers, this is a near-perfect Lake Washington setup.
Launch in Bellevue or Gene Coulon, spend the afternoon cruising the lake, pull a tube or wake toy, anchor out for dinner, then tow it home and put it back under cover.
No moorage headaches. Very low-cost registration, no giant fuel bills. no complicated systems. Just simple boating fun.
Stingray built its reputation around the patented Z-Plane performance hull, designed for quick planing, responsive handling, strong efficiency, and sporty performance. Combined with the proven MerCruiser 5.7L small-block V8, this 200CS delivers lively acceleration, agile handling, and impressive performance for an easy-to-own 20-foot sport boat. Lightweight construction and Stingray’s precision-built hull design help the boat feel fast, efficient, and fun well beyond what most boats in this class typically offer.
