South Bay 922Sport TT I/O 2013 vs South Bay 925CPTR TT 2011 — A Close Look at Two Pontoons

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the South Bay 922Sport TT I/O 2013 and the South Bay 925CPTR TT 2011 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The South Bay 925CPTR TT 2011 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the South Bay 922Sport TT I/O 2013 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 925CPTR TT 2011 is rated for 17 passengers, while the South Bay 922Sport TT I/O 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the South Bay 925CPTR TT 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the South Bay 925CPTR TT 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 17 passengers and at 27,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The South Bay 922Sport TT I/O 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.

What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

How many people can each boat hold?
The South Bay 922Sport TT I/O 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the South Bay 925CPTR TT 2011 is certified for 17.

Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the South Bay 922Sport TT I/O 2013 and South Bay 925CPTR TT 2011 share an 8 ft. 6 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads.
