When the MPG are less than 1....

It seems real data on the "Best Prop" remains elusive, especially given all the possible configurations and uses. I have complied 39 pages of tests and comments, I will try to summarize this below. The Mercury Prop Selector for the big engine TriToon recommends (the the result details only...

The Bling Hot Sauce was one of the few product I found to eliminate water spots with minimal effort and keeps my Bennington looking great: Chrome, Stainless, Aluminum, Panels, Fiberglass, Engine Cowl. I also use a special cleaner my detail shop makes that combines vinegar and a ceramic coating...

I understand (Per the Bennington 2021 Brochure - attached) they use the Simtex HiLoft2 with Permablok3. Simtex is made by Spaulding. Spaulding updated their list of cleanings which in 2023 started to include 303 (see attached), and it seems I recall someone posted that even Bennington now...

I think some pictures are in order of that modified chisel rivet head zipper tool....yes?

LOl - so easy when we are writing about ourselves!

The pull out ladders are MUCH harder to get up on - so anyone older, injured, bad knees, tired from skiing, hurt from a tube ride, etc - will struggle to get into the boat.

I found the original slide anchor works that much better when setting up and taking down, the lock pin is a bit smoother. The canvas wood tote is from Amazon, total game changer using the box, much easier and safer to get to and from. I have both a small and large box, about 50/50 use, any...

With Carbon poles, it certainly could take 35mph. I suggest the question becomes how is the front of the bimini attached, there I could see some rubbing that would cause pre-mature wear at 35mph. And where does that WATER come from....

Best Boating Cup Ever....keeps ice all day, floats in the water, you can throw it after refills, fits in cup holders.
