Rest In Peace, Kind Sir. There are a lot of great people on this forum, and many I have treasured as friends. We joked, and poked fun at one another, but most of all we helped one another. In my eyes, Carl will always be the Captain of this Bennington Family, as he was always there to lend a...

I just had this conversation with my BIL Sunday. As I was at a wedding in Southern Iowa and talking about the ubiquity of folks with no teeth or black crooked teeth (we call it meth mouth). And we clearly stated that in EVRERY state there are pockets of hick-a-billies. So yes I 100% agree with...

Even though I had a horrible experience on LOTO, I would go back in a heartbeat and if I could, I'd buy a house down there. Been awhile... http://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/i-stubbed-my-toe-in-loto.2878/

http://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/travel-cover.8300/#post-110932 try this thread. This one was made as a travel cover. But you could go with lighter material to get you what you want. If it is a stationary cover you could have it designed to cover down to the side rails and over the...

Depends on where you're buying. But if you are mainly going to boat on LOTO, They typically will bump you up in toon gauge. Things may have changed but when I bought mine I had them go with a thicker gauge toon. I think the standard in '14 was .08 and they would bump it up to .1. Not sure if...

I had a giant "helicopter" snake plop out of my transom hole. Thanks to photophucket I don't have the photo anymore.

Just be careful not to shoot holes in the roof above your boat! Nothing worse than trying to rest in a gentle rainfall and you're getting water-boarded.

No issues. It helps that the the painted surface is behind the railing, don't know if it would rub the anodized railings. But it was pulled pretty snug. I was more worried about the rubbing the furniture, but I had no issues there either.

I loved my covered slip. On those rainy days that you have nothing better to do than sit and wait for it to stop raining. You can sit on your boat (or clean it). It's also nice to have when cleaning or resting and not have the sun beating down on you. As for those little rats with wings, they...

I'm curious. Is 115 a restricted lake size no motor bigger than 115 allowed? Like on Lake Macbride it's a 9.9 restricted (nothing bigger than a 9.9 is allowed on) between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Before and after it is no wake speed but any size motor. The reason I ask is resale (and...

Whenever someone is talking about sealegs I remember this guy and his tower with a 350. If memory serves he traded the boat in for something different he was so disappointed. http://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/tower-boat-with-sealegs.2671/#post-27067

Pics in my gallery. I wanted the same thing and my tent and awning guy talked me out of it. Said there is a ton (and I agree) of wind hitting the front. so whatever you use to brace had better be strong. I went with the cover wrapped around the rails and left the deck open. When pulling long...

I think you're referring to Derrick...and I'll take that as a compliment. Below is the thread. http://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/heavy-duty-rub-rail.2345/#post-22011
