Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 195LS / LX 2013 vs Stingray 225LR 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stingray 195LS / LX 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 225LR 2009 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 195LS / LX 2013 at 19,5 ft versus Stingray 225LR 2009 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 225LR 2009 tips the scales at 3 125 lbs — 521 lbs less than the Stingray 195LS / LX 2013 at 2 604 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 195LS / LX 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Stingray 225LR 2009 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 195LS / LX 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 195LS / LX 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 225LR 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
