    Refueling 2012 or newer Benne Pontoon

    Went to a different marina recommended by the dealer and they had a nozzle the same diameter as a conventional gas station. It fit into the opening well. Only problem was their pump was down so I couldn't try it. Dealer is getting me the funnel from Bennington/Enviro-fill for times I go to...

    Refueling 2012 or newer Benne Pontoon

    Dealer delivered our 2018 R will full tank of fuel. Went for my first fill-up yesterday with 30% fuel left in tank. We're here on Lake Erie so went to the fuel depot at our marina. Luckily it was not busy. Dock worker (not a young kid) went to insert nozzle and would only run for 2-3 seconds...

    They built the wrong boat

    This was from the owner who pulled the order sheet and said it was ordered correctly on their part. However, I did not personally verify that. Just trusting the dealer. I have my order specs that my wife and I signed. I don't know how that is then entered into the Bennington system. Don't...

    They built the wrong boat

    Similar thing happened to us but not as severe. We ordered a 23RSB which has a bench seat and table next to the helm. Arrived at the dealer two weeks ago just after they got it in. Climbed up on the boat and my wife says, "This isn't our boat, there is a captain's chair next to the helm, not...

    Well, 3 months later we got the boat. Delivered yesterday. Jason Clemons from Clemons Marine, Sandusky OH had the boat ready for us at the dock. Spent time with us newbies showing how everything works and how to drive it. Couldn't believe how quiet the Mercury Vorado motor is. Very proud...

    SEMPERFI: Agree and will have done. Bulldogs: Rechecked again and not available on this model, perhaps because of the swingback lounge. Have an email in to Bennington to make sure the blackout addition will not leave black streaks on the white panel.

    Went to the dealer last weekend. Decided against the bar models and decided on the 23RSB. Metallic white with smokey granite accent, blackout edition. Mercury 250 HP Verado with DTS, power steering, heavy water package, elliptical sport package (ESP), bimini LED lighting, Simrad GPS...

    Swingback Owners (my first-ever post...)

    Hello. We are finalizing our order of an R and checking into getting the chrome " lighted grill and speaker system" instead of the regular one that is on the R. Do you know if there was going to be an additional charge to you for them to switch it? Thanks.

    I really appreciate everyone's input. Agree with the 27 foot benefit but the floor plan we want does not come in the G or R models. I think we will pursue the G (maybe the R if affordable) with the ESP and 250HP. Biggest problem now is deciding colors, and wife really likes the blackout...

    OK, long post, early morning, so grab coffee and enjoy (if you have nothing better to do). So, the adventure begins. Finally left the RV (i.e. yard anchor) world. Had experience with RV.net and found this forum. Last summer went to Put In Bay for my birthday and, after several visits, fell...
