    What is the meaning behind your username?

    a sentimental one--SuBe--named for 2 of my best friends (Susan and Bev) who lost their battle with brain cancer. It was part of their money to me that allowed me to buy the boat. They are looking down. They taught me to enjoy life and be thankful!

    My first Bennington

    Welcome! Great quality boat. You'll love it and it's the best-looking boat in the lake. Yes try to take the safety course. USCG Auxiliary gives one, or online. If it wasn't mentioned, I think also a boat hook, a paddle (floating), your emerg stuff (audible horn, flares, etc.) as well as more fun...

    Congrats from a fellow 2015 21' SLX owner! Great boat. Enjoy. I think I'm keeping mine. Was seriously mulling around the idea selling or brokering, but nah!

    You are so right. Just hanging is cool. When you tell people you want to sell it, now they want to go on it. One guy mentioned buyer's remorse; I was getting that just preparing to sell it! And a new boating friend and their fam/kids has summer home on a chain around here and offered to dock it...

    Good point from the last two boaters. I'm not in a real hurry, the money is already spent on the purchase, and it is a beautiful boat, loaded. My original vision was to have different friends on it every weekend day, partying, and also my grandkids tubing etc. (I'm a young grandparent!) But they...
