    Gate Glide Feedback

    We have them on our 2022 SX. Love them. Our friend who has the same boat in a 2019 model said he ordered them when he saw ours, from Captain’s Choice marine in Columbia SC.

    Enclosure for year round boating.

    Thanks for the info. We are in the midlands of SC. Went from a bowrider to the Beni. About the only thing we miss is the windshield of the bowrider (to extend our boating season, and for the occasional pop up storm). But we will look into canvas shop options.

    Enclosure for year round boating.

    KC24, is your windshield only custom or something you found off-the-shelf? We have a 22SXSR and are looking for a windbreak as well.

    Top speed WOT

    Jeez! I’m originally from NY. Went to college in Worcester, MA. Worked a few years in Cambridge, then moved to SC in 1990 and haven’t looked back. Certainly advantages and disadvantage living north or south. But we tend to be outdoors as much as possible (even in the 100 degree summers down...

    Top speed WOT

    Just picked up our 22SXSR this weekend. It has a Yamaha 150. In South Carolina, so we also had a beautiful weekend (75 degrees Friday and Saturday). After break in we were able to try WOT, hit 38mph (according to the SIMRAD) both days. Full tank and 2 adults onboard. No complaints with performance.

    New Bennington 25 LSB Build

    Hey Guys, I am a new forum member. I live in Aiken, SC, between Lexington and Augusta, GA. I did a few visits to Captains Choice in Lexington (where I bought my last boat in fact). They did have more stock than other dealers within a reasonable driving distance, but were pretty much quoting me...

    Boat on the final assembly line!

    Skip & Papa, beautiful boats! My wife and I are first time Bennington boat purchasers. Ordered August 27th. Hoping for a Christmas Miracle as well. Our local dealer was promised 4 boats a month from Bennington, but with supply chain issues we have been delayed several times already. Original...
