Have this boat and love it. You won't be disappointed. Wish we had the SPS, only have the Express tube setup I would make sure you get the Yamaha Reliance SS prop. Made a huge difference for ours.

I guess I should be clear. There was a broken part when we got our new boat last year that we are just now having fixed due to parts issues, and at the time of delivery they said they would give us a portable umbrella for the front. However when we went to order that it was not available in the...

So I have negotiated with the dealer to add a second or forward bimini to the boat. He is telling me his cost is ~$1000 and he would split the cost in half with me. Seems like a good deal and here in Texas the aquatek floor does get toasty in the summer. Anyone see a reason not to add the...

I hope I did this right

Finished mine today. Super easy and couldn't be happier.

So I sent back the 5.5" x 20 fenders and got 4 of the 8.5 x 26 fenders. After tying up with a fellow Bennington owner and seeing the size difference and separation between our boats (he already had 8.5's) it was a no brainier. Now I have 4 6.5's as extras. Thank you guys for the advice, I would...

That's what I'm talking about. As soon as I get mine back from the dealer for service I'm knocking this out. Thanks JC

JC keep me posted. I ordered the flush mount kit and it looks like the lowrance will just fit and allow me to put the cover on it. Has anyone ran wires under a boat with wave shield installed? Our last Bennington didn't have it and it was and easy transducer line pull. A little concerned this time.

We keep our boat in storage under cover on concrete on the trailer. Is their a need to wipe down the boat after every weekend or just once a month or so? We have learned we need to put the cover on it to prevent the thin layer of Texas dirt that blows being on the interior and floor, but I see...

I am not impressed with Garmin at this point and have a 4 month old lowrance elite 5 I had on our older pontoon. Has anyone removed the Garmin and would the lowrance fit in that spot?

So we have 4 6.5x22 currently but given the length of the boat and wanting to keep it nice, I have 4 slightly smaller ones 5.5x20 I'm considering carrying. We live in Dallas and our outings are mostly day trips tying up and floating with friends and occasionally docking. Suggestions please.
