Stingray is a Merit 28 in disguise. I always had the hots to own one.
The first owner of Stingray had the deck replaced with a Santana 30/30
deck that he bought new from the factory. I heard he did the swap just
because he didn't like the looks of the Merit deck. A real case of
someone with too many dollars and no sense.

I didn't know that, I'll have to ask Bobby about it. He
doesn't race it much, it's sort of "The Girl's" boat now.
They did put a different keel on it several years ago...so I
guess it's another Muller original!
