Eight questions buyers ask about the Stingray 253CC, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
How much does a used Stingray 253CC cost?
Right now US Marine Connection shows 4 approved, priced Stingray 253CC listings, all with photos. Asking prices run from $133,470 to $162,900, with a median asking price of $133,828. Those are asking prices set by the sellers, not recorded sale prices. The spread mostly tracks model year and engine setup, since one boat is listed with twin Suzuki 200 outboards and others with a single Yamaha F150XSA.
What years of the 253CC are for sale?
The current 253CC listings cover model years 2025 and 2026 only. There is one 2025 boat, described with twin Suzuki 200 outboards and zero engine hours, and the rest are 2026 boats listed with a Yamaha F150XSA. No older used years are showing on US Marine Connection for this model at the moment, so everything available is late-model and essentially new inventory.
How many hours is typical on a used 253CC?
There is no typical figure to quote here. Only one of the four listings states hours at all, and that 2025 boat is shown with zero engine hours. The other three 253CC listings give no hour figure in their descriptions, so any number would be a guess. If hours matter to you, ask the seller directly and confirm the reading against the engine display.
What should I check before buying a used 253CC?
These are 2025 and 2026 boats, so focus on delivery condition rather than wear. Confirm the engine package actually matches the listing, whether that is the twin Suzuki 200 setup or the single Yamaha F150XSA, and check the hour meter since most descriptions do not state hours. Verify the HIN and stock number, inspect the fiberglass hull and gelcoat for transit damage, and test all rigging, steering and electronics on the water.
What features come on the 253CC?
The descriptions stay basic. They list a center console layout with a fiberglass or composite hull, lengths given as 25 feet to 25 feet 3 inches, and a 9 foot beam on the 2025 boat. Power is either twin Suzuki 200 outboards or a single Yamaha F150XSA. Colors listed include Oyster, White and Indigo Blue. Nothing else is itemized, so ask the seller for a full equipment list before you commit.
Is the 253CC good for family days on the water?
The listings support it as a general open-water day boat more than anything specific. All four are center consoles around 25 feet with a 9 foot beam on the 2025 example, fiberglass hulls and outboard power. The descriptions do not mention seating layouts, fishing gear, livewells or electronics, so judge the cockpit space and the seating yourself from the photos or an in-person look before deciding it fits your crew.
Where can I find a 253CC for sale near me?
All four current 253CC listings are in two places. Three are in Port Charlotte, Florida, and one is in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. Individual descriptions also reference Sarasota and Placida for specific stock numbers, so confirm the exact pickup location with the seller before traveling. With only four boats listed nationally, your realistic options are Southwest Florida or southern New England.
How does the 253CC compare to the 20CC or the 20 SBX?
