The Stingray 215CR Sport Deck 2011 vs Stingray 220DR 2006 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Stingray 215CR Sport Deck 2011 at 21,9 ft versus Stingray 220DR 2006 at 22,0 ft. At 3 775 lbs and 3 811 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats are rated for 11 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
