Thanks for the feedback on SSX. Thats exactly the spec I am thinking of. No luxury of test driving here in jan Canada. Lakes are frozen solid. Basing on google ant forum to form my opinion so far. If waiting tii may totest driving, will loose this summer. Good to hear the performance on this...

good to know bamaman, I think I'll stick with SPS and f150......was going to save a few with express tube, but with 22SSX max limit is 115.  hence SPS.  In any case, seen lots of testaments with 150/ express tube or SPS, thus should be good combo. Seen pics of twin f300 on few pontoon boats...

is this another thread on getting bigger engine?.....I am just reading between the lines such that if you have 200 or 300, then it doesn't really matter how much crap you have on your toons....lol

Link, maybe rep is a better choice of word. He rep Bennington for eastern Canada I believe, but does not involve in direct sales to individual customers. That's what he told me. He also represents few other lines of boats

:o  at 40% I think I would make the switch to f200 + ESP. I am pretty much in the same situation as you.  Never thought I would be looking at owning a boat till recently.   Bennington was recommended because neighbor is a distributor.  Whether we will use it a lot is questionable.  We're going...

Thanks all for your valuable input........ Point #1....yes the Canadian $ is taking a dive at the moment, sales guy just emailed today to finalize deal before price goes up....sales pitch or reality??  Point #2....I think its very difficult to be buying your last boat.  Understood the fact...

Yes, I like the helm of G model better too, that is why I am upgrading the chair and the wheel....... What's on the seat bases of the S model?

thanks Todd for the info.  I might just go with f150 for now.  Narrowing down to SSX model at the moment with SPS, max spec in 175hp.  Thus probably not too worried about extra 25.  200 or more would be nice, but I really don't think I need it on my lake and surrounding.  Give me an excuse to...

I think you can swap them, but with additional cost...... the option list is always longer than standard list no matter what model you look @....... :rolleyes:

thanks for the input guys....with wave shield I probably wouldn't look too hard underneath. <_< Does the price list in the 1st post look reasonable??  Any other must have options I should consider?  Many have mentioned power assist steering....with only 150hp, I think I will give myself a...

Boat in question is 2275GS (see 1st post).  You're saying larger engine don't work as hard if you have full load as compare to smaller engine.  At times I almost feel I am buying options on this boat just because who may come along! lol  This is the other thing....I am seeing varies report on...

Do you mean construction wise?  Brochure seems to indicate under the platform pretty much the same other than the 16" vs 24" cross channel.  what kind of difference does this make if you don't mind sharing ( this was my original question)  The seat is better as the model goes up and display of...

New to boating.... Do I have to have a boat lift for pontoon boat? or can it be tied to a dock? Scenario.... Lake is about 14km by 1km connecting to 3 other similar size lake......not sure if wave would be an issue here. Boating here in Ontario is about 5 month...mid may to early October...

Questions about model selection   G vs. S Looking @ 2275 GS vs. 22 SSX ...... I have the brochure so knows the difference in standard option..... Base price diff is about 7-8k.  By the time I upgrade SSX to make it look more like G model......ie docking light, captain seat, teak table, full...

Thanks for the opinions.  Looks like SPS is it.  Skipped the ESP as this is another 3k option (plus power assist steering) plus may not be worthy if only equipped with f150 engine. Good point on pricing express tube vs. SPS.  By the time you add shield and hydraulic steering etc its about the...
