I am writing to you after going to the Boston boat show. I bought a '98 180RS last March. All the major boat lines were there. None of them could come close to the Stingray. In my first boating season (last year), I put 164 hours on my boat. Didn't see much of my wife that summer. But I just had to say wherever I went, I was noticed. Even the NH marine patrol loved it, but still gave me a ticket for speeding. I can't wait to put the boat back in the water. If you're ever up this way, stop in and we'll go boating. Have to go, the weather is coming on - ice ice go away.
