Give me a week or so to get back to the cottage to find my table and 3" post. The dealer that bought my 2011 Benny didn't care that I forgot the table when I sold it to them. It looks like this one in the link below. I think it was called Zebra wood when I bought it back in 2011...

Do you have pics you can share of your welds?

I bought these for my new Jet boat tower, but if anybody with a a Benny with a tower is looking for a simple install, these are fantastic. They are Lithium battery powered (like a power tool battery) . They last 20 hours per charge. They are Bluetooth and can be run off your phone (or they...

GIDDY UP!!!!

Yup. If you pull off the "side skirting" panels, you can reach each vent port for each chamber from the outside of the boat. Then you can use water and a soap mixture in a spray bottle and cover each weld and pressurize each individual chamber (very very low pressure) and see which seams /...

NO reason to cut any holes in deck. All you have to do is take off the side ribbed horizontal skirting with I think 1/2' or 9/16's bolts between the tubes and the bottom of the decking to access the ports on the top of the tubes. Thats how my shop accessed my plugs and figured out where my...

Try going to the sand dunes at Silver Lake in North west Michigan. You'll be blowing sand out of your vents for weeks!!!

2011 when we ordered, seagrass was not an option as others have stated. Only rear deck was available with faux teak etc. Carpet was the only thing i really ever HATED on the Benny.

Love the Trailhawk. Had a 2014 version. Was a darn good vehicle. Peppy and pretty trailworthy for sure. Enjoy. Great video! Thanks for sharing

Thanks Daril. I'll keep that in mind for sure!! Still miss the Jeep? :cool:

Signed the paperwork today on the new Yamaha AR 220. Sad day to sign the title over on the Benny to the dealership. I hope it gives the new owners as much joy as it has for our family. Crazy on how many boats this dealer has. This is 1 of probably 4 more sections of rack stored boat plus pole...

When I was a student at MTU, the first day it hit upper 50's lower 60's in spring, the lawns outside the dorms (especially DHH) were littered wtih students laying out on towels basking in the sun. The UP is known for 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad sledding. Even after being there for...

If I put 3 hours or 30 hours on a outboard for a season, its still getting the prop removed, checked for fishing line or bad seals and new gear lube. Part of my year end winterization process I just sold my Benny with 143. hours via Vessel View after 13 years of ownership. I changed gear lube...

I went this route a year or so ago. I went through Tumacs who actually is the supplier for Bennington. Just gave them the hull number and they gave me a quote for both the playpen cover and I got a new bimini top with boot too. The playpen cover comes with loose piece snaps but the Bimini...

SHe looks beautiful. Well done on keeping her in pristine condition!!!
