Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 22 SFFX 2013 vs Bennington 2575 RSi 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 22 SFFX 2013 vs Bennington 2575 RSi 2004 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Bennington 22 SFFX 2013 at 21,8 ft versus Bennington 2575 RSi 2004 at 24,0 ft. At 2 553 lbs and 2 475 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Bennington 22 SFFX 2013 and 115 hp for the Bennington 2575 RSi 2004. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bennington 22 SFFX 2013 carries 27 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Bennington 2575 RSi 2004. 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 22 SFFX 2013 is rated for 25 passengers, while the Bennington 2575 RSi 2004 caps at 17. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bennington 22 SFFX 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 22 SFFX 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 25 passengers and at 21,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 2575 RSi 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 17 that costs less to run day-to-day.
