2005 Stingray 195 CS

2005 Stingray 195 CS Overview

2005 Stingray 195 CS redefines what a sub-20-foot sport boat can accomplish, masterfully blending the high-speed thrill of an open-bow model with the practical weekend utility of a classic cuddy cabin. The foundation of its impressive performance is Stingray’s patented Z-plane hull architecture. By utilizing smooth, continuous strake lines rather than traditional step-faced strakes, the hull allows water to flow cleanly and undisturbed against the running surface. This engineering choice breaks water surface tension instantly, resulting in rapid planing times, elevated top-end speeds, and outstanding fuel efficiency even when paired with economical engine packages.

The deck configuration maximizes outdoor social flow while preserving cabin real estate. The main cockpit features standard bucket seats at the helm and companion positions, backed by a wide aft bench and an integrated engine box sun pad setup. Moving forward, heavy-duty molded-in steps next to the helm make walking through the curved tempered glass windshield to the foredeck safe and effortless. Storage is highly optimized throughout, with localized side panels, dedicated floor drains, and under-bench bins that keep gear secure and dry.

Sliding open the lockable cabin door reveals an unexpectedly spacious overnight refuge. The V-berth seating is surrounded by clean, padded vinyl liners and high-back cushions that quickly convert into a comfortable double berth with the addition of matching filler cushions. Accommodations are rounded out with a standard portable head tucked neatly out of sight, dual directional reading lights, and an opening translucent overhead deck hatch that floods the cabin with fresh air and natural light. Whether you are seeking a dry shelter from a passing storm, a secure space to lock up premium gear, or a cozy platform for weekend lake camping, the 195 CS delivers a quiet, rattle-free ride.
