Lake Murray is about 35 miles long (including the rivers portion) and 14 miles wide, but I agree with you. I rode on a 38 Skater doing 126 MPH and it chews the miles up quickly. (Wife and I rode separately because we have a kid. They went 142 MPH when it was her turn.) We used to have a huge...

We hung out with the heir to the Coca Cola fortune, John Woodruff, a few summers about 10 years ago when they came to Lake Murray for some poker runs. His girlfriend and my wife hit it off. John had (and maybe still has) a 48' MTI super cat named Windship. He also has the matching F750 tow...

Launched the toon yesterday and kicked off the 2024 boating season on a gorgeous day on Lake Murray. Hope y'all have a safe and great boating season wherever you boat.

Is it possible the motor was ever started and run dry? (Out of the water / no muffs). You can ruin an impeller in seconds if it's not cooled by water.

My local Bennington dealer (Captain's Choice Marine, Leesville, SC) is showing on their website 53 new Bennington pontoon's in stock for sale (https://www.ccmarine.com/search/condition-New/make-Bennington/). They are showing MSRP and a discounted price on each model.

The first trailer I bought was a used home built "between the toons" trailer made with a scavenged mobile home axle. It had the same shape as a scissors trailer. It just didn't have any mechanism to lower the boat. I paid $650 for it about 30 years ago. It was very tippy. I was always...

I was curious about the Water Limo banner on the back of the boat. Googled it and see it is a charter boat company. So customers pay to be taken out on their pontoon boats. Would have to think the captains are experienced. Hard to believe they'd do that on purpose to impress their customers.

Sounds like it's going to be a great boat. My only suggestion is to reconsider the black cover. I've had 5 boats and 2 came with black covers. When I replaced them, I went with beige Sunbrella and was happy I did. Much, much cooler inside. The black cover on my 2011 Benny caused damage to...

I've had to teach several of my dogs to swim, but most have loved it. My current lab/pit mix Mazy absolutely loves to swim.

Derrick - you going to tell us what website your wife used for those awesome pictures?

I'm always looking to up my wiring skills. Thanks for the tips!

I don't know exactly. But I will say the bracket with the female part of the bullet connector is removable. I removed mine to drill holes through them for pins that keep the Bimini frame arms from popping loose at inopportune times. If memory serves, you have to remove the screw and spacer...

A year and a half ago I sold the boat this thread was about. The docking lights on my current 2017 2375 RSB also did not meet my expectations so I added a similar auxiliary docking light to it. I used a similar, but smaller, bar light from Tractor Supply. The one I used on the former boat was...

Just put the boat in storage today. I need to pick this subject up in the Spring. Thanks for your suggestions!
