Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 17 SLi 2011 vs Bennington 24 SCWX Tritoon 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 17 SLi 2011 vs Bennington 24 SCWX Tritoon 2017 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 24 SCWX Tritoon 2017 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Bennington 17 SLi 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bennington 24 SCWX Tritoon 2017 carries 21 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Bennington 17 SLi 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bennington 24 SCWX Tritoon 2017 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Bennington 17 SLi 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bennington 24 SCWX Tritoon 2017 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 24 SCWX Tritoon 2017 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 17 SLi 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
