Stingray 204LR 2013 vs Stingray 235CR 2013 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Stingray 204LR 2013 and the Stingray 235CR 2013 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The Stingray 204LR 2013 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Stingray 235CR 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stingray 235CR 2013 carries 56 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 235CR 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stingray 204LR 2013 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 235CR 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 235CR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 23,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 204LR 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
