We purchased a new 190lx in 1998 from Capitol Marine in Raleigh NC. For three years there have been no problems with the boat. For the money it is a better buy than any boat in its class. It handled the Intercoastal waterway like a dream. Even with rough water. Other Stingray owners agree, not much like it on the water. With its speed, power to pull skiers, and overall appearence it is a great boat to own.
