Whether fishing with buddies or spending a day on the water with the family, the 253CC from Stingray Boats has it covered. From the dual fish boxes and aerated livewell to the tackle station and cooler in the leaning post, the South Carolina builder left no doubt the 253CC (25’ 3” LOA, 9’ 3” beam) was designed to fish hard.
Stingray equipped the dual helm seating with flip-up bottoms and adjustable armrests, perfect for rough water. The dash comes standard with a Garmin 1243 chartplotter MFD and a Fusion stereo system with the option for a second MFD and a Garmin VHF radio. A hardtop and windshield protect the equipment.
The console’s cabin is accessible through a port bi-folding door. Inside, Stingray included a head but also offers the center console with a porcelain head and a holding tank.
When it comes to power, the twin-engine boat is available with 150- or 200-hp options from Suzuki or Yamaha.
