Stingray Boats introduced the 253CC center console at the 2024 Miami International Boat Show. Powered by twin outboards from Suzuki or Yamaha, the 253CC (25’3” LOA, 9’1” beam) is designed for fishing with a host of features including an insulated fish/storage box, stainless-steel rod holders, an aerated livewell and a tackle station with a sliding cooler.

The 253CC comes with a head (which can be upgraded to a porcelain head) and a freshwater sink. Other standard features worth noting are a hardtop, walk-through door and Lumitec underwater lights. For electronics, the center console comes with Garmin 1243 Touch and Airmar B150M Chirp and a full stereo system. Buyers can add a second GPS screen and upgrade the stereo system.
