Thanks for your comment. KY Lake is the last lake in the TVA chain. It used to be the TN River that was flooded along with several other lakes. TVA uses it as a dumping ground and buffer for flooding all the way up the chain. The deepest part of the lake is about 64' with the main channel...

I tried finding a similar issue among the other threads and could not so I apologize if I am being redundant. Being a pessimist I always keep a spare prop on our boats, along with whatever tools ae needed to install the prop (spare cotter pin, pliers, wrench, etc.). normally, being a back-up...

We have a 2018 24' slx tritoon with the SPS package. It replaced a 24' pontoon. Our lift was set up for the pontoon. I asked the dealer about adding a center support. He said that wasn't necessary. The dealer has been selling only Benningtons for many years and their main tech guy sounds like he...

So, my two cents on a front boarding ladder for a triton. When we beach on a sandbar the unlucky person (me) usually has to push the boat off until the engine can reverse. naturally I pile all others in the back of the boat to raise the front a bit. So we didn't want a ladder in the middle...

I have a 24SLX 2018 Benny tri-toon with the enviro-fill system and as others have described, yes it is a royal pain. At least they could have recessed the opening as with cars and this way you can pour more down than straight out. Gravity and all that. Why does Bennington use this system? My...

For the price of the transport you could try to buy a used trailer, and even the new ones without brakes are not that expensive. This assumes you have a vehicle that can pull the unit. You would then have a trailer in case you want to try other waters. If you don't have a place to park it you...

We ordered our 24SLX tri-toon toward the end of May. 2017. We took delivery July 24th. May is rather late to start thinking of ordering a custom boat but the one we had been considering at the Dealer got sold. Bennington has what is called a "hot build" option which expedites the building and...

Appreciate your comments. Not sure what the "express" configuration consists of. This boat has the SPS 200 system: 25" tubes, lifting strakes, foils, waveshield, 25' transom. Stainless prop on a boat this size with the 150 wouldn't add much speed according to dealer. I would add one but KY lake...

Golly I hope I am not in the wrong place but working through the menus is cornfuzin' So formerly regrets but not necessarily now: Pontoon Review This is a review of a 2018 Bennington 24SLX custom tritoon boat purchased in July 2017. We saw a model of the boat at the dealer and build ours from...
