Forward, the bow seating area offers stainless steel grabrails, beverage holders and under-seat storage. A fiberglass bow cover is available optionally, at $486. [links]
Between the helm and passenger seats, there's a large in-floor locker for skis and wakeboards. It has an oversized door, for easy access to everything inside. here
Stingray's 180 LX puts big fun into a small boat package
One especially nice feature, a remote oil change system, is included as standard equipment. If this were our boat, we'd add Stingray's optional automatic fire extinguishing system ($411) in the engine compartment, for added safety. more
Who says a small boat with a small engine can't handle a whole family's needs or can't give its skipper the exhilarating sensation of speed? Stingray's 180 LX may be compact-size, but the fun it provides is definitely maximum-size.

I am limited to this size boat with a swing tongue as I must be able to store this boat in my short garage for several reasons. Ordinarily I'd go for something with V6 power but everything I've read suggests this boat is competent with the 3 liter. more
Re: Stingray boats? Opinions?
The speed of the 185LX is about the only big surprise the boat has to offer, since its layout is your usual run-of-the-mill bowrider layout. A V-shaped settee is up at the bow, with storage underneath its seat cushions and a cooler hidden at the very tip of the bow. here
The 185LX is armed with Stingray's patented Z-plane hull, which has no added volumes or surfaces (strakes). This special design allows the hull to pass through the water without creating the bubbles or vortices created by a conventional hull, and the smoother flow of water allows the propeller better bite during both straight line speed and hard cornering maneuvers.
At first glance, Stingray's 185LX seems like a very simple creation, but there's actually a lot of work that goes into it — and it takes trained specialists to make sure the entire process is executed correctly. A water-jet cutting machine cuts the boat's parts exactly to size; a unique overhead tram system is utilized to move parts under construction through the plant via computer control; and CNC routers make challenging cuts while at the same time reducing waste, which keeps down the cost of the boats. Those are just a few of the many steps necessary to create this "simple" bowrider.
The Stingray 185LX would make a terrific entry-level boat for buyers who want a boat that offers plenty of amenities, comes from a company with a good name and can be had for a very reasonable price. The boat does very well with its standard 3.0L MerCruiser stern drive, taking turns like a champ and hitting a top speed of 48.1 mph, which makes for one sweet ride.
The boat felt very solid, with no cavitation or blowout. Stingray includes custom engine vibration dampeners, which make for a smoother, quieter ride; however, the onboard sound level still hit 107 decibels at top speed, which is acceptable but nothing to crow about. more
