There is a performance bulletin on the Bennington website that claims a speed of 54mph with a 250 Evinrude. It's on a 2009 GLI with ESP so maybe this is the setup to run.

Hi G&B - I for one do not feel "slighted". I was just making an observation as to why I think the post was deleted. I think it's wrong to deleted a post for voicing issues about dealers and staff and also think it's wrong to post a negative rating to our profiles because of the post. This is...

SML - Looks like we both took a hit on our "reputation" in our profiles from the posts yesterday. Both posts are back now.

Hi SML - I was being honest and describing my experience with a Bennington employee.

I would avoid any dealer that makes a statement that he is not obligated to service a brand that he sells. This to me indicates a degree of dishonesty. My dealer serviced my first Bennington even though I did not buy it from him with no questions asked. After all, they are getting paid for...

Had the same problem in with my in-floor storage. It's amazing how quick it dries out when you keep it open with the "playpen" cover on. I started doing the same thing with all the seats because it doesn't take much moisture to start mold growth in the storage areas under the seats. Keeping...

Just wondering what others are running. I run a 14.5 x 17 SS prop (MW Ballistic) that runs about 5900 rpm. The prop works fine but the boat porpoises badly (see my other post). The only way I can eliminate this is by trimming down so much that I lose about 10 mph. So I guess the answer to...

Hello All - I have a 2010, 2275 RLI, with performance package (non-ESP) and a 225 HP Yamaha 4 stroke. I'm curious as to the type of prop (pitch/diameter) people are running with this (or similar) configurations? Maybe someone from Bennington would be willing to comment with a recommendation...

It's a 25 inch shaft on a 25 inch transom. My thought is that if there is more drag from a lower motor it may prevent the boat from getting completely on plane (strakes). Not sure if this will work but I want to give it a try before switching out props. Many of the archived Yamaha Perfomance...

My dealer uses ballistic props on all his 3 tube boats and hasn't had too many problem from what I understand. I'm not sure if the prop is the cause or not. Can anyone recommend a good prop for this application? I'm going to try and raise the motor this weekend but will also try a new prop if...

Hello all - Thank you for the response. Yes, it is a 3 tube with strakes (no ESP). The boat was purchased new and this is the dealer setup. I can trim out the porpoising if I run it 3/4 down but I lose a ton of speed and performance. My dealer uses the same prop with 20 foot boats (150 hp...

I have a 2010 2275RLI with a Yamaha 225. The boat porpoises badly at full throttle on calm water. I'm running a Michigan Wheel, Ballistic, 17 inch ss prop and the motor is mounted in position #1 (all the way down). I plan on raising the motor to see how that works since the performanc...
