Matching a modified vee Stingray 200CS 2007 against a deep vee Stingray 204LR 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Stingray 204LR 2013 measures 20,4 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 18,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stingray 200CS 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 200CS 2007 tips the scales at 2 827 lbs — 2 578 lbs more than the Stingray 204LR 2013 at 249 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.

The Stingray 204LR 2013 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Stingray 200CS 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 35 gal and 34 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 204LR 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Stingray 200CS 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 204LR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
