Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Ray 21 Jet 2013 vs Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 525 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sea Ray 21 Jet 2013 vs Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 525 2005 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 698 hp, the Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 525 2005 has a 578-hp advantage over the Sea Ray 21 Jet 2013's 120-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Ray 21 Jet 2013 carries 45 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 525 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 525 2005 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Sea Ray 21 Jet 2013 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 525 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 525 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 52,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Ray 21 Jet 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
