Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 2250 LX 2005 vs Bennington 23 SSBX 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 2250 LX 2005 vs Bennington 23 SSBX 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 2250 LX 2005 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Bennington 23 SSBX 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 2250 LX 2005 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Bennington 23 SSBX 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 2250 LX 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 2250 LX 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 23 SSBX 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.
