I don't think the zhull makes much difference. I think thats more
marketing bs.
My 240cs will do 50 on flat water and is a solid ride in the waves.

Like any boat, trim tabs are what make the difference in getting on
plane and really help riding out smaller waves at speed.

I think you make a valid point, but my buddies 190rs would go pretty
slow and stay on plane. Of course it could go slower with tabs, no doubt
about that. The only thing I recall from riding in it is that even small
wakes were unpleasant.

The 240cs is most likely a very different boat, one that I have never
been on. Thus my comment was only aimed at my experiance with the 190rs
bowrider. And that is the onlt Stingray I have ever been on.
