2002 Stingray 200CS/CX

Taxes-considered by many to be a four-letter word with five letters-is given an upbeat connotation when used in conjunction with the 200C. That's because the 200C-with its porta-potti, single burner butane stove and molded in freshwater sink-has the equipment to qualify for second-home tax deductions.

There are other freedoms associated with the 200C. Like the freedom to extend your boating experience through the night and into the next day; of not having to stay close to a land-based restroom; of preparing and eating meals onboard. Then there's the freedom of choice: what kind of seating arrangement do you want in the cockpit? Or what about the freedom to listen to your favorite music, thanks to the standard CD player. Or the freedom to bring your favorite beverage and someone else's, due to the voluminous 46-quart built-in cooler.

You might say the 200C is liberating. You can even throw your own tea party.
