Until I realised what it was, I thought "wow", Four Winns are now using Gaffrig Gauges!

Very nice!

Is that a 100 mph speedo?

How do you find the seperate shift and throttle levers as far as low speed manoevres when docking into a tight berth?

Holy Bank of Switches Batman! 17, that's enough to keep any toddler busy for a few hours.

That's one sweet looking boat.

Yes it is a 100 MPH speedo! Havn't check it on GPS yet, but think it does about 60 MPH. Love ther seperate shifter/throttle levers over the standard. Took a little getting used to in fact still working on it, but so far much better than what was in my FW. They shift/move like butter. Always had problems with the FW shift lever sticking.

Yeah its a lot of switches, but they all have a function except two which they actually thought ahead and wired in two extra acc. switches just in case you wanted to add something as I do intend to do so it is nice the switch is already there. I am adding a small fan to the cuddie.

I am telling you if you boat on rough water this is just what the doctor ordered! I can't believe the difference between a 19 degree deadrise and 24 degrees! She rides so smooth even in big chop.

*shrugs* I had a 21 degree deadrise go fast (70 on GPS) 23' and it didn't ride good.. And it wasn't light.. So I'm guessing the difference between 21 and 24 must be huge! But I guess I was never really going slow either, so hitting big wakes at 50, your bound to get airborne :)

23' compared to 25'6" and 21 degrees compared to 24 and an extra three feet must make a difference because she rides pretty smooth. But then again witht h kids on bored I am not even close to full throttle most of the time.

Probably has a good weight advantage too! Those three feet mean a lot, and in my case I'm sure it's more like four feet because Stingray is much like Four Winns, they like to use fuzzy math! :)


Sharp boat for sure!

Yeah the boat actually measure 25' 6" even though it is classified as a 25'.
