Stingray 191LX 2013 vs Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Stingray 191LX 2013 or the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011?

The Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 is the longer of the two at 23,9 feet overall. The Stingray 191LX 2013 comes in at 19,3 feet, making it roughly 4,7 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Stingray 191LX 2013 or the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011?

For trailering, the Stingray 191LX 2013 has the edge at 21 lbs dry weight versus 4 105 lbs for the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Stingray 191LX 2013 has a documented max rating of 140 hp. Engine specifications for the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Stingray 191LX 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 is certified for 12. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?

The Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 measures 101" wide, compared to 91" for the Stingray 191LX 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Stingray 191LX 2013 or the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011?

The Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 has the bigger tank at 57 gallons, versus 34 gallons on the Stingray 191LX 2013. That 23-gallon difference translates to roughly 69–115 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Stingray 191LX 2013 and Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Stingray 191LX 2013 and the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 are built by Stingray. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Stingray 191LX 2013 vs Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Stingray 191LX 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 measures 23,9 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stingray 191LX 2013 at 19,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 tips the scales at 4 105 lbs — 4 084 lbs less than the Stingray 191LX 2013 at 21 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The Stingray 191LX 2013 carries a rated maximum of 140 hp. Engine data for the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 carries 57 gallons versus 34 gallons in the Stingray 191LX 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stingray 191LX 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 235LR Sport Deck 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 23,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 191LX 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
