The 195L model offers two seating configurations, from the conventional motorbox and jumpseat (LS) to the sporty sundeck and bench seat (LX) design.
More importantly, this boat is a performer-Boating Life Magazine touted the V-6 EFI version as "the first V-6 stern-drive we've tested that hits the 60 mph barrier." Much of the reason for the great performance is because the 195's ride on Stingray's next-generation Z-Plane hull. Hull refinements include special contours to the running surface that extend beneath both sides of the integrated swim platform and create virtually three-point contact with the water at high speeds. The hull performs so well that these boats surpass 60 mph with merely a V-6 sterndrive for power! The competition needs a V-8 to achieve the same mark. Look as you will, you won't find better performing, more fuel-efficient, 19-foot family bowriders anywhere!
Loaded with amenities, this popular model features bow and springline pop-up cleats, a recessed 3-step boarding ladder, courtesy lights, a high-power audio system with CD player, a rich aluminum dash, oversized drink holders, and a roomy contoured bow. Also included are curved bow seats that enhance both ergonomics and aesthetics, a large swim platform with recessed boarding ladder, and a functional flat-mount glove box with top access and hinged floor stowage compartments.
