Thanks for the info, now that is a good cove name. LOL

Thanks for the information. My biggest concern is the parking due to the length of the truck and trailer. While we love the solitude of Lake Ouachita we thought it would be nice to check out Hamilton and maybe the party cove if they have one there. We haven't found one on Ouachita.

We have a trip planned for Lake Ouachita, this will be our third trip there. While we are staying at Echo Canyon, we are looking to pull out for a day and go explore Lake Hamilton. It looks like there is a park called Avery Park that is just south of the dam and we would be able to venture the...

IMHO, Bennington isn't what it used to be. And in my experience it's the dealer that I have dealt with that has saved things. But my last Bennington order was not what I expected at all and may be my last order. Bennington has even cancelled a warranty order on us without letting the dealer know...

We personally would run into problems if it covered both fore and aft decks. We would have an issue getting the cover on and off. On our Q most of the aft deck is covered. The fore deck is where we start and finish putting the cover on when we have the boat in a slip. We mainly trailer though...

Welcome back to boating season.

We will be sad to see the I/O options become unavailable from Bennington. We loved our first Bennington with an I/O, Volvo Penta. We enjoy our water sports. The issues we had were mainly layout issues. While we enjoyed the chase lounges in the stern we found that most of the time people wanted...

My mother in law would now be parking in the street and not our driveway after than little Nascar move.

For Benningtons, as you can see in my signature I have always had Q's, all with the cladded arch. For the rear bimini, I've had no issue at any speed and one was even towed with the bimini up/out. Forward bimini is where the speed is watched. I keep it under 35 mph. Yes both are not bad to put...

On our old 2015 we ordered from the dealer, OEM, for the front bimini, the old owner for some reason lost it or something. Were we happy with it? Yes, the TX sun can be brutal. It was not cheap either. We used it every time we went out in the summer months. It was very stable. It did let the...

We are polar opposites, I can't handle the cold well at all anymore. Without the sun out fully and the temps in the 60's I'm looking for my coat. All my northern blood has switched, and it did it quick. LOL

What I dislike about fenders mounts that a fixed to the boat are that docks and other boats aren't always the same. IE: docks can have things that stick out in different locations, and boats other than pontoons aren't always straight sided. I prefer to be able to place the fenders where I need...

That is cheaper than I paid for ours on our old 2015 25 Q. I went with OEM from Bennington and included the sock that went around it. It lasted one trip and that trip was to the dealer for something else. No one warned us about having to secure the sock also so we started using bungees to secure...

Sounds like us here in the DFW area of Texas.

Yes 3/16th drill bit. I've used both stainless and aluminum for other projects on my other boats with the wave shield.
