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

The Stingray 172DC is a family-friendly outboard boat designed for easy handling, comfortable cruising and active days on the water. Its dual-console layout combines the wind protection of a full windshield with an open bow seating area, creating a practical platform for watersports, fishing and relaxed shoreline exploration.

Efficient Hull Design and Outboard Power

Stingray’s patented Z-Plane hull is engineered to reduce drag and help the boat rise onto plane efficiently. The 172DC accommodates outboard power up to 115 horsepower, providing flexible performance for cruising or towing recreational riders. Hydraulic steering is standard, supporting smooth, predictable control at the helm.

Built for Relaxed Days and Active Weekends

At approximately 17 feet in length, the 172DC is compact enough for straightforward trailering and marina handling while still providing useful passenger space. Its wraparound bow seating encourages social cruising, while the open cockpit leaves room for fishing equipment, coolers or watersports gear.

This model suits boaters seeking a manageable runabout that can transition easily between cruising, swimming, casual angling and tow-sport fun. The combination of outboard simplicity, versatile seating and Stingray’s efficient hull technology gives the 172DC broad appeal as an approachable recreational boat.
