Bennington 2275 RL I/O 2013 vs Bennington 23 SSBX 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 2275 RL I/O 2013 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 2275 RL I/O 2013 carries a rated maximum of 320 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 2275 RL I/O 2013 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 2275 RL I/O 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 2275 RL I/O 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 25,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
