    Question about table and center fuel...

    Thank you all. My dealer has added a rear table with center fuel to boats in the past and he mentioned he knows to look for structural obstructions for placement. My concern is does gas leak out of or affect the hardware used for the mount....And, can water seep into the fuel? Thanks.

    Question about table and center fuel...

    Thanks. We had 2 dealers tell us Bennington doesn't do it but the dealer would add the mount in the rear even with the center fuel. Does anyone have this and are there any issues with it?

    Yamaha 250 Vmax SHO analog gauges vs digital...

    Thank you to all. We did decide to go the digital route. We just like to have as much info as possible if a problem should arise.

    Question about table and center fuel...

    We have ordered our 23 SSRCFBXP and are so excited. The only thing I'm unsure about now is the table location. I notice it is in front but would like the option to put in front or back. I know we can add a mount but we did get the extra center fuel storage so the rear table mount seems that...

    Yamaha 250 Vmax SHO analog gauges vs digital...

    Are the digital gauges really worth the extra $. The analog gauges only show fuel, tach and trim. You can't tell temp or oil pressure. If there is a problem I understand there is a horn warning but no indication as to what the problem is whereas the digital gauges tell you if there is a...

    Just ordered boat...couple things unclear...please help ASAP

    Thanks RodEarl. I think we are going to change to the Striker 4 fish graph so we get the depth finder. But, I am now wondering what the analog gauges are...I haven't looked at them. Are they gas, temp, oil pressure? Trying to decide if it is worth upgrading to the digital gauges or not...

    Just ordered boat...couple things unclear...please help ASAP

    Great...thanks for comments. I am honestly getting differing information on 2 options from 2 different dealers. The first is the speaker question I mentioned above. The bennington build site lets me select the upgraded speakers and toe kick lighting without the speaker lighting but one of...

    Just ordered boat...couple things unclear...please help ASAP

    We just ordered our boat yesterday...23 SSRCFBXP...but I am wondering about a couple things and I could still change today if needed... 1. This is the fastback model so it comes with speakers on the rear of the boat. We don't want the lighted speaker option. We upgraded all of the stereo...

    Trailer Comparison...heritage vs phoenix

    We are about to order our new 25 SSRCFBXP pontoon and are shopping between 2 dealers. One is offering a Phoenix trailer and the other has provided pricing with a Heritage trailer. Is one better than the other? Why? Would it be a $1,700 difference? Thank you.

    Which one? 23 or 25?

    Thank you! We have not test driven either of these but we have multiple pontoons in our family and friends have a 25 Bennington but with a much smaller engine. We have measured and both will fit on our dock and in our barn for storage...that's why it is coming down to how they ride.

    Which one? 23 or 25?

    Hello - My husband and I are torn between which size to get. It would be the exact same boat just in a 23 or 25. It is the SSRCFBXP with SPS plus pkg and 250 Yamaha engine. Any thoughts on this? I've heard that the 23 with that pkg and engine runs like a dream. Does that mean the 25...

    Looking at buying a new Bennington but have questions...

    Thanks Jim. That is the way I've always understood it too....so our possible new boat would really only be able to carry 9 or 10 average size adults (180 avg) and not 12. That really changes things. We don't want the esp pkg, we checked it out and it only adds the ability to carry one more...

    Looking at buying a new Bennington but have questions...

    Thank you....12 won't be a regular occurrence but it does happen a few times throughout summer. We just had 16 on one of our family's pontoons this past summer...it was rated for 15 but there were a couple kids. We have a summer place next door to other family members and when we all have...
