Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 22 SSL 2011 vs Bennington 23 LXSB 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 22 SSL 2011 vs Bennington 23 LXSB 2021 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 22 SSL 2011 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Bennington 23 LXSB 2021 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bennington 22 SSL 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Bennington 23 LXSB 2021 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bennington 22 SSL 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 22 SSL 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 21,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 23 LXSB 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
