South Bay 220 CR LE 2021 vs South Bay 728SL TT I/O 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The South Bay 220 CR LE 2021 vs South Bay 728SL TT I/O 2012 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 728SL TT I/O 2012 tops out at 300 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 728SL TT I/O 2012 is rated for 16 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 728SL TT I/O 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the South Bay 728SL TT I/O 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 28,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The South Bay 220 CR LE 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
