Welcome Nitro.  I just ordered too.  Exciting times for us and here's to warm weather.  What kind of trailer did you go with?

Thanks Semper.  I figured I would be fine in that depth with the extra buoyancy and Outboard of the Benny.  It's really only in a small section coming in, but it can become uncomfortable with hitting something.  Here's to lots of rain heading into Spring and no drought conditions in the summer...

What are the lowest comfortable water depths you have taken your Benny into? Coming into my slip, I see my water depths go to 1ft in places, when the drought conditions kick in at the normal times in august, because of the buildup of sludge/sand at the end of the piers. With my old I/O ski...

But honestly, Will the minimal 5 mph difference between the 150 & 200 justify the cost. I mean you will have to get sps too, so your talking 5 to 6k with taxes. For me its not worth it, but some people have the extra money. Again, how often do u truly run your boat at full speed?? Everyone...

I wish I had pictures, but the order just went in yesterday to the dealer.  I hope the dealer can provide me with pictures from the factory, as it is being built.  

LakeLiving - Well Here are the options I went with: Midnight Black w Champagne Accent Panel Ivory with monochrome interior 150 HP Yamaha - Not a cheap option. I wish I could have afford the 200 Yammy. Hopefully, It has enough power, but from what I read it is the best option.  I was seriously...

Hello all, I just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Chris and I have been lurking for the past month or so, prior to making the leap and purchasing a new Bennington 24 SSLX yesterday.  I wanted to thank all of you on this forum for providing great information for perspective buyers.  Cheers...
