Owned a 19' Stingray with a 4.3 V6 great ski boat and could do 60 mph on a calm day. There's the problem, does not do well in rough water. In fact we were almost swamped coming back to the island from Alton one night when a wind had kicked up 5 footers - wife said, "Get something we don't have to worry about." I did not hesitate - bought the Grady that week!
