Stingray 215LR 2013 vs Stingray 225SX 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Stingray 215LR 2013 and the Stingray 225SX 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?

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 215LR 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Stingray 225SX 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 215LR 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 215LR 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 225SX 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Stingray 215LR 2013 vs Stingray 225SX 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Stingray 215LR 2013 or the Stingray 225SX 2013?
The Stingray 225SX 2013 is the longer of the two at 22,9 feet overall. The Stingray 215LR 2013 comes in at 21,9 feet, making it roughly 1,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Stingray 215LR 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 11 passengers, while the Stingray 225SX 2013 is certified for 1. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Stingray 215LR 2013 or the Stingray 225SX 2013?
The Stingray 225SX 2013 has the bigger tank at 56 gallons, versus 46 gallons on the Stingray 215LR 2013. That 10-gallon difference translates to roughly 30–50 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Stingray 215LR 2013 and Stingray 225SX 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Stingray 215LR 2013 and the Stingray 225SX 2013 are built by Stingray. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
