Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 235CR 2013 vs Stingray 240CR 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Stingray 235CR 2013 vs Stingray 240CR 2005 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 235CR 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stingray 240CR 2005 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 235CR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 235CR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 23,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stingray 240CR 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
