Stingray 20SBX: A versatile sport boat that doesn’t break the bank

Stingray has long been known for building family-focused boats, and the new 20SBX (for Sand Bar Extreme) takes that legacy a step further with a platform optimized for a wide range of on-water activities. At 20 feet, 3 inches, with an 8-foot, 6-inch beam, the 20SBX has a max capacity of 10 people (that’s a lot for a 20-footer). Built on the company’s exclusive Z-Plane hull and leveraging up to 150-hp of outboard power, the new model is designed to be equally comfortable towing skiers (with optional pop-up ski pole, or wake tower), casting lines, or lounging at the sand bar.

The open bow offers plush stain-resistant upholstery for lounging, as well as the essential cupholders, speakers, and grab rails. Storage beneath the seats is plentiful, and an available filler cushion converts the bow into a sun pad. The billet-machined windshield gives a clean, modern look and an optional wake tower makes the 20SBX well-equipped for tow sports.
