If they do, they are boats they had in stock prior to parting with Stingray. Irwin is the only authorized dealer for Stingray.

I had a 2000 190 Stingray for 10 years. Although it was my first boat and didn't have much to compare it to overall I had a great experience with no major issues. For the dollars the looks are better than most models, it was a very fast boat and great for skiing and tubing. Certainly not a great boat for the ocean but not many open bow boats are. With that said we used it quite a bit in Hyannis and went to the Vinyard a few times, just had to pick your days. I have since upgraded into a cruiser style boat for the Lake but if I was going to downsize back to that range of boat my first stop would be the Stingray dealer. Bought mine at South Attleboro, great people IMO.

If that's true they still advertise themselves as a dealer on their web page. Maybe they just need to update it.

The new Stingray dealer on Lake Winni is Irwin Marine. I believe they have them at all three of their locations. Meredith Marina has a few leftovers, but is no longer the Stingray dealer. Irwin Marine also has Sea Ray, Meridian Yachts, Berkshire Pontoons, Alumacraft Fishing boats, and ski doo and sea doo.
They have 10 or so Stingrays in stock, I was just there over the weekend.
