Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 2250GS 2008 vs Bennington 23 RSB 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 2250GS 2008 vs Bennington 23 RSB 2022 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Bennington 23 RSB 2022 has a 275-hp advantage over the Bennington 2250GS 2008's 25-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bennington 2250GS 2008 is rated for 25 passengers, while the Bennington 23 RSB 2022 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bennington 2250GS 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 2250GS 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 25 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 23 RSB 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
