Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 2375 GCW Sport Arch 2013 vs Bennington 24SFi 2010 — A Close Look at Two Pontoons
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Bennington 2375 GCW Sport Arch 2013 and the Bennington 24SFi 2010 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Bennington 2375 GCW Sport Arch 2013 at 25,1 ft versus Bennington 24SFi 2010 at 23,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bennington 2375 GCW Sport Arch 2013 tips the scales at 2 816 lbs — 2 630 lbs more than the Bennington 24SFi 2010 at 186 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Bennington 2375 GCW Sport Arch 2013 has a 125-hp advantage over the Bennington 24SFi 2010's 25-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 23 gal and 24 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 25 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Bennington 2375 GCW Sport Arch 2013 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Bennington 24SFi 2010 with its 25-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
