Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 195CS / CX 2011 vs Stingray 225SX 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Stingray 195CS / CX 2011 is a modified-V design and the Stingray 225SX 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 225SX 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Stingray 195CS / CX 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 225SX 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 225SX 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 22,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 195CS / CX 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
