Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 235CR 2013 vs Stingray 250CR 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stingray 235CR 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 250CR 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stingray 235CR 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stingray 250CR 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 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 250CR 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.
