    Transom/Motor Well Cover?

    Anyone know if anyone makes a wooden or alum transom well cover for a 2021 L with SRS? Should be a standard size on other years. Just would like the open motor area covered for safety and cosmetic reasons. Should be ample clearance when motor is trimmed up. Ive seem a few posts in past years but...

    Bennington production during COVID

    Congrats! Ours was expected to be delivered at the end of April so I'm now guessing sometime around late May would be realistic.

    Hi everyone. I bought a new 2020 in early March and dealer said the build slot I'm in estimates a late April delivery.

    Suggestions on front corner protection

    Tritoon SPS

    What is the underdeck waive shield that comes with SPS? Is it a full underdeck liner or just a partial shield near the front of the toons? Also, SPS comes with SeaStar hydraulic steering. I'm not familiar with this. Is that something similar to power steering or just an assist due to the added...

    New Boat Arrived

    Touring the manufacturing facility sounds pretty awesome. Would love to get to do that in person someday. Is anyone aware of a virtual tour of the Bennington facility? I couldn't find anything on YouTube or quick browsing of the web.

    Boat lettering suggestions

    I used boatdecals.biz. Lots of colors and fonts to choose from. Think I paid $42 for two sets. Came in about 4 days. They look great and easy to apply. https://boatdecals.biz/

    Thoughts on aluminum to SS?

    I guess it’s possible but it’s brand new - 2 months old. I’m getting about 26mph at about 5900 rpm with the 17p prop. 22’ dual toon with 2adults.
