2027 Stingray 172DC

Stingray 172DC — Versatile Dual-Console Boating in a Compact Package

The Stingray 172DC is a family-friendly dual-console runabout designed for cruising, watersports and relaxed days on the lake. Its manageable size makes trailering, launching and storage more convenient, while the open bow and flexible cockpit provide useful space for passengers and gear.

Efficient Hull and Outboard Performance

Stingray’s Z-Plane hull is engineered to reduce drag and promote efficient planing performance. Paired with outboard power, the 172DC offers responsive handling and straightforward maintenance access. Hydraulic steering helps deliver predictable control, whether navigating around the marina or cruising across open water.

Key Highlights

• Dual-console layout: Wind protection for the helm and companion seating, with a centre walkway providing easy access to the bow.
• Open bow seating: Creates a comfortable social area while making practical use of the boat’s compact footprint.
• Z-Plane hull design: Supports efficient acceleration, stable handling and an enjoyable ride across a range of recreational conditions.
• Integrated swim platforms: Provide convenient access to the water for swimming, tow sports and time spent at anchor.
• Passenger-focused cockpit: Supportive seating, storage areas and a functional helm make longer outings easier to enjoy.
• Outboard configuration: Preserves cockpit space while offering familiar operation and convenient engine access.

Designed for Everyday Recreation

The 172DC suits boaters who want one platform for several activities rather than a highly specialized design. Its seating arrangement works well for casual cruising and family outings, while the stern access and open cockpit support swimming and watersports. Storage compartments help keep personal items and boating essentials organized without crowding passenger areas.

At the helm, the straightforward layout keeps essential controls and instrumentation within easy reach. A wraparound windshield adds protection when conditions cool down, and the walk-through design allows passengers to move between the cockpit and bow without climbing over seats. For first-time owners, cottage use or anyone seeking a compact multipurpose runabout, the Stingray 172DC balances practicality, performance and social space.
