    Did Quality change?

    I asked last year about going from a Premier PTX to a Bennington after the 2019 Mid Atlantic boat show. Never pulled the trigger but decided to attend the 2020 Mid Atlantic show last weekend. After climbing through all the boats, we noticed something with the Bennington's this year. The...

    Coming from a Premier PTX

    Hey gang, New to the forum. Currently own a 2012 Premier Solaris 240 30”PTX with a 200 hp Mercury. Love the boat but looking to get a new pontoon and really looking at Benningtons as Premier warranty work around our lake isn’t the greatest. Thinking about the SX models with the SPS Plus and...
