Matching a modified vee Stingray 195LS 2007 against a deep vee Stingray 214LR 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 195LS 2007 at 19,0 ft versus Stingray 214LR 2013 at 21,7 ft.
