    Post up your other toys or hobbies ..... AGAIN

    Figured I'd post an update. We moved into the house in late August.

    Post up your other toys or hobbies ..... AGAIN

    This is my current hobby as it seems to take up all my free time since we're acting as the general contractor. Broke ground at the end of September on our "forever" house, rough-in started this week..

    THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS

    Still hasn't hit 40 in Fargo yet and the streak is now 135 days in a row under 40. 3rd longest stretch on record. Nothing over 40 on the 10 day forecast either. Depressing........

    2013 2275 RCW: Upgrade my 150HP to 250HP OR trade-in the boat for a new Bennington?

    Capt G, I feel your pain as I have a 2375 GCW ESP with a Yammy 150 and Sea Legs. I can get it over 30 with just me onboard and the bimini down. Very interested in what you find out on the repowering front. My wife and I are currently building our "forever" house and considering what's that's...

    Hand me down Bennington Tubes

    Nice Work! You have skills the majority of us wish we had! Planning to modify the transom on the old boat to accommodate the increased motor height?

    No top end

    No top end

    Sounds like way too much pitch for a 60hp.....looking at the specs posted above with 10 & 11 pitch options. Heck, I run a 14 pitch on my 150 and could realistically go to a 13 pitch.

    Depth Guage Reading at Speed

    Mine is mounted at as low as it can go as far to the outside as it can go on the port toon bracket. Works all the way through WOT. Same transducer as Michiman.

    Boat Cleats

    https://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/cleat-upgrade.9859/#post-130145 I did this upgrade 3 years ago. Totally worth it in my opinion.

    21' Elliptical toon water issue

    My guess is that, because we usually wait the very end of boating season to pull the boat from the lake, the water drains out or evaporates. Most years the boat sits up on Sea Legs for a good month with no use and then gets driven straight to the landing to get pulled. I really need to do a...

    21' Elliptical toon water issue

    I’ve let it be for now as it’s never been enough water that it’s been an issue. Of course I say that and this summer it’ll start listing or riding lower.

    21' Elliptical toon water issue

    I have heard water sloshing in my toons off and on for years (bought used in 2016). Typically it doesn't sound like very much and by the time I get it to the dealer for end of season service, the sound is gone. However, last year, my center toon was sloshing when I brought it in so I pointed...
