Tahoe vs. Stingray

[slyspyder]

I currently own a Sea Doo Speedster jet boat, but am moving to a location where they aren't allowed so I will be in the market for an I/O runabout. The Stingrays and Tahoes are comparitively priced....which do you think is a better choice and why?

Thanks for any and all opinions!

What size? Stingrays are better built. Though the designs for their 200/220/230 models are pretty dated at this point. The main attraction for Tahoe would be their fish-n-ski packages.

I was thinking 18-19 feet. I don't fish, so I would be interested in the "sport" model of either.

If you don't count the swim platform the Tahoe Q6 is just under 20'. This would be a killer wakeboarding choice as you can get a V8 in it. Which is not available on the smaller Stingrays. But otherwise I would lean towards Stingray. Here is another thread that kicks around the various bowriders -
