I bought a used 1986 195ss Stingray last summer from my neighbor who was the original owner. This is my first boat and I must say my wife and I had a blast last summer. I can hardly wait for spring. I am impressed with the fact this boat is 13 years old and in such incredible shape. My neighbor took good care of it but I think it is a testament to the quality of the boat as well. When I tell people how old it is they don't believe me.
