Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 208LR 2013 vs Stingray 220CX 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stingray 208LR 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 220CX 2008 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 208LR 2013 at 20,7 ft versus Stingray 220CX 2008 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 220CX 2008 tips the scales at 3 143 lbs — 318 lbs less than the Stingray 208LR 2013 at 2 825 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 208LR 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Stingray 220CX 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 208LR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 208LR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 20,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 220CX 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
