Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 215CR 2013 vs Stingray 225LR 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stingray 215CR 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 225LR 2012 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 215CR 2013 at 21,9 ft versus Stingray 225LR 2012 at 22,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 215CR 2013 tips the scales at 3 775 lbs — 411 lbs more than the Stingray 225LR 2012 at 3 364 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 215CR 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Stingray 225LR 2012 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 215CR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 215CR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 21,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 225LR 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
