Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stingray 235LR 2013 vs Stingray 240CS 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stingray 235LR 2013 against a modified vee Stingray 240CS 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 235LR 2013 at 23,9 ft versus Stingray 240CS 2010 at 23,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stingray 240CS 2010 tips the scales at 4 429 lbs — 324 lbs less than the Stingray 235LR 2013 at 4 105 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 235LR 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stingray 240CS 2010 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stingray 235LR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stingray 235LR 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 240CS 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
