Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 1650 FSi 2006 vs Bennington SX Series 23 SSRX - RADIAL CRUISE 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 1650 FSi 2006 vs Bennington SX Series 23 SSRX - RADIAL CRUISE 2022 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.
The Bennington 1650 FSi 2006 carries a rated maximum of 50 hp. Engine data for the Bennington SX Series 23 SSRX - RADIAL CRUISE 2022 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
Both boats are rated for 7 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.
The Bennington 1650 FSi 2006 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Bennington SX Series 23 SSRX - RADIAL CRUISE 2022 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: The Bennington SX Series 23 SSRX - RADIAL CRUISE 2022 at 23,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Bennington 1650 FSi 2006 at 16,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
