Does anyone have any thoughts on adding additional fuel capacity/storage? I have a 2019 22SSRXP with a Yamaha 200. I boat on the Illinois river, and want to take trips that extend beyond my current range with no fuel stops available along the route. I prefer not to strap 5 gallon cans on to the...

2019 22SSRXP SPS performance package with F200XB Yamaha. 43mph on GPS @ 5800 RPM's fully rigged and full of fuel with 1 person on-board. It has plenty of hole shot to pull a 275lbs skier from deep water. Smooth ride, cuts through waves very nicely and the turning capability is impressive. This...

Dewalt 849X variable speed polished with Zephyr brand yellow polishing wheels and TR-2 Brown tripoli rouge for initial cutting, followed by DA polisher applied Zephyr Pro-32 Z Creme Cherry wax, then a hand wash with warm water and dawn dish soap. After everything has thoroughly dried, simply...

I have a question about the open hole in the bottom of the center tube on the back, beneath the engine. (Attached picture) Is that supposed to be like that or is there a cover or something missing? It looks like something could possibly puncture the plastic tank that is seen right inside the...

After polishing the tubes on my 2019 22SSRXP with SPS package, I applied tw o coats of sharkhide about 24 hours between coats. 1 quart of sharkhide ($70.00 on Amazon) and 10pk of Gerber flat fold diapers with birdseye weave as suggested by sharkhide,($14.00 on Amazon) after both coats I...

For the record, 40 to 45 @ WOT is fine for me, I usually run around 27 to 32 and sometimes up to 35 - 37, when I'm on the water, that's my time to relax, not see how fast I can burn fuel.....besides, that's what jet-skis are for! I finally got the toons all polished and sharkhide applied!

Mike, I have the exact same prop. Unfortunately, my boat hasn't even been wet and I'm anxious to get it in the water. Thanks for the info....enjoy your new boat!

We have a cabin between Grafton and Hardin, just North of Pere Marquette. I think I recognize your name....Carrollton?

Its really difficult to sit and stare at a new Bennington sitting there just itching to get wet! I took delivery a couple weeks ago and am currently polishing out to toons to a mirror finish and then applying Sharkhide. I will post pictures when its finished. My set up is a 2019 22SSRXP SPS with...

Hello all, I am brand new to the club, tritoons, and outboard motors so this is going to be quite an experience for me. I have had several stern-drive open bow runabouts over my lifetime so I am not new to boating in general. I have been pondering a tritoon for the last few years and decided to...
