Looking at the Stinger 175 Camo but have never owned a Lowe. How do they compare with G3, Xpress and Alumacraft.

I just bought their new bay 20 model. I love it so far. You get a lot of boat for the money.

I went with this but changed the trolling motor to a 24v Minnkota and got them to throw in a blue tooth radio and sound bar. Only thing I need to add is a quick set blind and a talon.

205, did you find their quality to be on par with excell, g3, war eagle, etc., but priced some less?

Eta: sorry, I just read your op,, I guess you did?

Aprox, how much less $'s, percentage wise?

I walked out the door with the upgrades for 19k. The boat is Layed out much better than an Alumacraft. Honestly, this one, Xpress and sea ark where my final three. Sea ark was too high. I would be happy with the Xpress too.

1860 cc only offers a black 90,,, that should be plenty, but loved the way that 115 leaped up.

Referring to tigers 175, he said it had a 60 on it but rated for a 75 - still a nice boat I would have maxed out hp

I know,,, I would have maxed it too, 90 is largest option on 1860.
I just got a quote on one..

My buddy has a 18' with a 60HP and he said he probably should have gone with the 16' and a 40HP.

Have any of you bought or ridden in the 18' or 16'? Thoughts? I'm looking for a dependable 16'

Thanks for your time.

I bought the War Eagle 1860 CC. It has a 115 Yamaha four stroke on it, I love it!
