Anyone know of a reason NOT to just use clear fingernail polish?

What trailer guides are those?

Here is the link to the boat. I’m in Florida so winterizing isn’t a huge issue. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2018-bennington-22ssx-7601414/

As a follow up, I have found a great deal on a used Benny with "most" of the options we desired. I will have to add underwater lights, the helm chair with bolster, and a ski bar is all. Can anyone help me with specific things to look for when buying a used Bennington? I am fairly familiar with...

This was very helpful! I really appreciate it. I did not know the difference in the SSX and SSXAPG. I was wanting the extended deck but just assumed it was on the SSX. Boy would I have been disappointed when I got my boat! haha

Then it's definitely something I will talk to the dealer about!

The SPS package, which is what I would choose if I chose not to opt for the 54 gallon fuel tank, has a 12 person capacity. If I upgrade to the ESP to get the larger tank (only reason for me to upgrade), it's a 14 person capacity. So losing 1 person to get a 200hp motor still gives me 1 extra...

What length is your boat? I am looking at a 22. Maybe that's the difference? The build site said the ESP was not available with the in-toon storage. It grayed out and I couldn't click on it with the in-toon storage checked. Maybe the build site is wrong??

I'm in the same boat.. so to speak. Trying to build a 22 SSX and deciding between going all out with the elliptical Sport Package and 54 gallon in-toon tank or sticking with the SPS and 32 gallon tank. I will be in a river with no fueling stations and will venture out in to the bay and possibly...

How long are you able to drive at cruising speeds before refueling?

Well i'm not sure how you got that to pop up! When I added the ESP, it took away my ability to upgrade the 23 gallon fuel tank AT ALL! EDIT: It did not pop up, but I kept looking around and finally found where it checked the box for the in-toon 54 gallon tank. Thank you!!!

I agree that no one will ever wish for a smaller motor. I’m just worried that, with the limited 32 gallon tank, I won’t have much for range. If I’m pulling a tube all day, I don’t want to have to fill up several times a day. Am I on the right track as far as fuel consumption? The 200hp said 19+...

Brand new member here. I currently have a 2004 Harris 22' FloteBote with a Suzuki 140. I am looking to upgrade to my "forever" boat in buying a Bennington brand new. I have never bought a brand new boat as I try to just get a deal on a used one for a few years then sell and upgrade. However...
