Pictures to come soon. The weather has been wet lately. I have guests this weekend here to entertain and I can't take them out.  

Merc 150. Took it out and hit 35 mph at 5200 ft elevation

It's the SPS with 25 ft tubes. Tritoon

Thanks 1Blderbob, tomorrow will be the wife's maiden voyage and she's willing to go out in 40 degree weather. That's not normal... Big Bernie

I noticed many of the boats on our lake were now Toons and figured there must be a good reason. Turns out there is very many reasons first and foremost the ride and the room. I would never buy just an old pontoon but having A sitting in  the living room  type setting that smoothly cruises 40...

Almost no sleep for past two night in anticipation of my new 22SSRX delivered today to Lake Arrowhead. The dealer sent a very nice and capable young man to show me the ropes. This is the first pontoon style boat that I have ever owned or have even boarded. I gave up my 22ft Sea Ray because...

Great help. Thanks Jack!

Just had the same issue today while checking out my upgraded stereo system.  I have a IPhone 6 and the rep while pairing turned the phone off and back on immediately. This solved the problem. He also said the I phone 6 is notorious for this particular problem. Hope this helps! Big Bernie

Ok. Now I am getting exited. I finally get my new boat on Friday. Question do most Bennington owners use the typical round fenders or are the 2 sided flatter fenders preferred? I only have 6-7 inches total room to spare. The dock is 9 ft wide. Any suggestions? My boat is a 22SSRX

Hey Folks, I just joined the club and am waiting for delivery of my 22SSRX with the Mercury 150 Hp. Would love to hear from others out there who have similar Horsepower on the 22SSRX. Is that enough ?

Hello Bennington Friends, I purchased a new 22 SSRX about 3-4 weeks aqo in CA. I was told about a Bennington Membership Club that would give me an additional 2 yrs on my warranty. My question : Is this the Bennington Member site that includes the warranty and Forum or is this for forum members...

Hello Bennington Friends, I purchased a 22 SSRX about  3-4 weeks ago in California, I was told of a Bennington membership club that would give me another 2 yrs of warranty status on my new boat. By joining this site am I on board or is there another application from Bennington that must be...
