Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 22 SXSB 2022 vs Bennington RL 211 I/O 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 22 SXSB 2022 vs Bennington RL 211 I/O 2005 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 RL 211 I/O 2005 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Bennington 22 SXSB 2022 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bennington RL 211 I/O 2005 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Bennington 22 SXSB 2022 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bennington RL 211 I/O 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington RL 211 I/O 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 22 SXSB 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
