Stingray 172DC: Versatile Dual-Console Family Boating The Stingray 172DC combines the easy handling of a compact outboard boat with the flexibility of a dual-console layout. Designed for cruising, watersports, fishing and relaxed days at anchor, it provides separate bow and cockpit seating areas while remaining manageable for trailering, launching and storage. Efficient Hull and Outboard Performance Stingray’s patented Z-Plane hull is engineered to reduce drag and promote efficient planing. The 172DC measures approximately 17 feet 3 inches in overall length with a 7-foot-6-inch beam, creating a stable platform without making the boat unnecessarily cumbersome. It is rated for outboard power up to 115 horsepower, allowing owners to select a power package suited to their preferred balance of performance and efficiency. Key Highlights Dual-console layout: Provides wind protection for the helm and companion seating while preserving convenient movement through the boat. Open bow seating: Creates a comfortable social area for passengers and adds useful space for day-cruising activities. Z-Plane hull design: Supports responsive handling, efficient acceleration and confident recreational performance. Outboard propulsion: Simplifies access to the powertrain and leaves the cockpit free from a bulky inboard engine enclosure. Seven-person capacity: Offers practical room for family outings and small groups while maintaining compact dimensions. Integrated storage: Helps keep personal gear, safety equipment and boating essentials organized and out of the main seating areas. Boarding ladder: Makes reboarding easier after swimming or watersports. Built for Everyday Recreation The 172DC is well suited to buyers who want one boat to cover several activities. Its compact footprint supports straightforward docking and trailering, while the divided seating areas give passengers room to spread out. A walkthrough windshield improves access between the cockpit and bow, and the outboard configuration is practical for shallow-water operation, beach stops and routine maintenance. For cottage use, inland lakes or family day trips, the Stingray 172DC delivers a useful blend of comfort, versatility and approachable handling in a conveniently sized package.
