Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 195FX 2007 vs Stingray 215LR 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Stingray 195FX 2007 against a deep vee Stingray 215LR 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Stingray 195FX 2007 at 19,0 ft versus Stingray 215LR 2013 at 21,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 215LR 2013 tips the scales at 3 705 lbs — 1 067 lbs less than the Stingray 195FX 2007 at 2 638 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 215LR 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Stingray 195FX 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 215LR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 215LR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 21,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 195FX 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
