Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 204LR 2013 vs Stingray 220SX 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Stingray 204LR 2013 vs Stingray 220SX 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Stingray 204LR 2013 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Stingray 220SX 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stingray 220SX 2005 carries 38 gallons versus 34 gallons in the Stingray 204LR 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 204LR 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Stingray 220SX 2005 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 220SX 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
