Bennington 24 SL3 2013 vs Bennington 25RTFB 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bennington 24 SL3 2013 vs Bennington 25RTFB 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 Bennington 24 SL3 2013 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Bennington 25RTFB 2022 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 24 SL3 2013 is rated for 25 passengers, while the Bennington 25RTFB 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 24 SL3 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bennington 24 SL3 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 25 passengers and at 23,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bennington 25RTFB 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.
