Avis sur le stingray 198 lx

The Stingray 198 LX is a classic small bowrider with a 19'9" overall length, 94" beam, and seating for up to nine. Its modified-vee runabout form makes efficient use of space, with a straightforward deck layout and the kind of proportions that work well for trailering and docking in tight marinas.

On the water, this model is best described as quick and manageable rather than aggressive. Publicly listed specs point to a 200 hp sterndrive setup on many examples, which is enough for lively family cruising and watersports in normal conditions. The hull’s moderate deadrise and compact size should make it easy to steer and park, though it is still a light boat that will feel more affected by chop than larger deep-vee models.

Comfort is adequate for day boating, but not luxury-oriented. The 198 LX provides practical seating and basic amenities, yet the small water capacity and lack of real cabin accommodations limit overnight or extended comfort. For buyers wanting a simple, efficient day boat with broad appeal, the value proposition is strong; those needing more space, storage, or rough-water capability should look higher up the size range.
