Matching a deep vee Stingray 225LR 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 250LR 2010 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 225LR 2013 at 22,9 ft versus Stingray 250LR 2010 at 25,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 225LR 2013 tips the scales at 3 364 lbs — 2 930 lbs more than the Stingray 250LR 2010 at 434 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.

Both boats are rated for 1 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.
