Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bennington 24 RTSB 2022 vs Bennington 2575 RCW I/O Sport Tower 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 24 RTSB 2022 vs Bennington 2575 RCW I/O Sport Tower 2013 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 430 hp, the Bennington 2575 RCW I/O Sport Tower 2013 has a 130-hp advantage over the Bennington 24 RTSB 2022's 300-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 2575 RCW I/O Sport Tower 2013 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Bennington 24 RTSB 2022 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bennington 2575 RCW I/O Sport Tower 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 2575 RCW I/O Sport Tower 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 28,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 24 RTSB 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
