Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 214LR Sport Deck 2012 vs Stingray 235CR 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Stingray 214LR Sport Deck 2012 against a deep vee Stingray 235CR 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.
The Stingray 214LR Sport Deck 2012 carries a rated maximum of 200 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 47 gallons in the Stingray 214LR Sport Deck 2012. 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 214LR Sport Deck 2012 caps at 11. 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 214LR Sport Deck 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
