2024 Lowe Stinger 198

The 2024 Lowe Stinger 198 is a 19.8-foot aluminum bay boat built for serious fishing. Its extended-pad Mod-V hull delivers responsive handling and quick acceleration, while the side console layout keeps the casting deck open and spacious. The boat is powered by a single Mercury 150 hp Pro XS engine with stainless steel propeller.

The helm features a hydraulic tilt steering system with a black soft-grip wheel, an aluminum switch panel with lit toggles, and console cup holders. The command center accommodates a flush-mount fishfinder. Two fold-down fishing seats with pedestals provide tournament-style seating, with an option for a third seat or center cooler.

Fishing-focused amenities include a large livewell, water-resistant lockable storage for tackle and rods, and a recessed trolling motor foot pedal. A 70 lb. thrust Motor Guide X3 trolling motor on 24V power is included. The boat carries three marine-grade batteries backed by a three-bank charger, an auto bilge pump, and 12V and USB charging points.

The package is completed by a galvanized trailer with a full-size spare tire. The Pro package upgrade adds LED interior lighting and a Lowrance HDS 9 Live with Active targeting. Four stainless steel flip-up cleats provide secure tie-downs.
