Stingray 204LR 2013 vs Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Stingray 204LR 2013 or the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010?

The Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 is the longer of the two at 20,9 feet overall. The Stingray 204LR 2013 comes in at 20,4 feet, making it roughly 0,5 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Stingray 204LR 2013 or the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010?

For trailering, the Stingray 204LR 2013 has the edge at 249 lbs dry weight versus 2 891 lbs for the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Stingray 204LR 2013 has a documented max rating of 150 hp. Engine specifications for the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Stingray 204LR 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 is certified for 8. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?

The Stingray 204LR 2013 measures 99" wide, compared to 93" for the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

Q: How do the fuel tanks compare on the Stingray 204LR 2013 and Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010?

Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 34 gallons and 35 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.

Q: Are the Stingray 204LR 2013 and Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Stingray 204LR 2013 and the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 are built by Stingray. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Stingray 204LR 2013 vs Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Stingray 204LR 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 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 204LR 2013 at 20,4 ft versus Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 at 20,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 tips the scales at 2 891 lbs — 2 642 lbs less 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 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 34 gal and 35 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 205LR / LS / LX 2010 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.

Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 204LR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 20,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 205LR / LS / LX 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
