Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 220DR 2009 vs Stingray 250CS 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Stingray 220DR 2009 against a deep vee Stingray 250CS 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Stingray 220DR 2009 at 22,0 ft versus Stingray 250CS 2013 at 25,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 250CS 2013 tips the scales at 4 971 lbs — 1 160 lbs less than the Stingray 220DR 2009 at 3 811 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 220DR 2009 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Stingray 250CS 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 220DR 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 220DR 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 250CS 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.
