Funny how things turn out. I have a 19 1/2 foot stingray. Open bow though.
What happened to your other prospective boat?

Balsa and foam coring was/is used below the water line on larger fiberglass
boats but it is very unusual to find it on smaller boats. You're not likely
to run into it in anything under 25 ft.

We are looking to purchase a used 20 foot cuddy cabin for running around
on the Lake. I ran across a 1995 Stingray boat that may be a
possibility. Does anyone have any experience with this boat company?
Based on information offered at their website
http://www.stingrayboats.com/technol...stinction.html it looks like a
pretty well constructed boat.

Thanks in advance for your response.

BTW: We are also looking at used Wellcraft, Thompson (Carerra), Four
Winns (Sundowner) and Regal 20 footers. What worries me is the
possibility of balsa or foam coring in the hull under the water line.
According to Four Winns, their 1994+ 20 footers were solid glass under the
water line. Any other information on these 20 footers would also be
appreciated.
