Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 195CS / CX 2013 vs Stingray 200CS 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Stingray 195CS / CX 2013 vs Stingray 200CS 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Stingray 195CS / CX 2013 measures 19,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 17,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stingray 200CS 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). At 2 734 lbs and 2 827 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Stingray 195CS / CX 2013 at 19,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Stingray 200CS 2006 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
