2004 Stingray 240 LR

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Stingray used every inch of this 24-footer wisely. The wide, walk-through transom and molded swim platform make it easy to gear up for tubing or just hang out at anchor, and the stereo upgrades turn the whole cockpit into a floating lounge. At the helm, the sporty gauge cluster and tilt wheel give a confident, driver-focused feel, while the wraparound windshield knocks down wind on cooler mornings. Forward, the spacious bow seating is deep and secure, with room to stretch out and stash gear underneath. This is the kind of layout that works just as well for an afternoon sandbar raft-up as it does for an all-day cruise with the family.

The 240 LR shines on the varied waters you’ll find here, where conditions can shift from calm coves to choppier open stretches in a single run. Its length and hull design give reassuring stability when afternoon winds kick up, yet it’s still nimble enough to slip into tighter channels and busy launch ramps. The roomy cockpit and bow make it easy to host friends for long days on the water, while the integrated swim platform and easy boarding ladder suit frequent stops for swimming. Efficient performance helps you cover distance without constant fuel stops, making this a practical, fun all-rounder for local cruising and watersports.
