South Bay 220 CR LE 2021 vs South Bay 522CLR TT I/O 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The South Bay 220 CR LE 2021 vs South Bay 522CLR TT I/O 2011 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 South Bay 522CLR TT I/O 2011 tops out at 220 hp. Engine specs for the South Bay 220 CR LE 2021 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The South Bay 522CLR TT I/O 2011 is rated for 15 passengers, while the South Bay 220 CR LE 2021 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the South Bay 522CLR TT I/O 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the South Bay 522CLR TT I/O 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 25,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
