Will do asap

Thanks. I'm glad we have a towbar. I was just getting confused by the tow harness info. Will definitely use your tip about the rope off starboard and over the ladder railing, too. I kept trying different things to keep it out of the way, but your technique seems easy, reproducible, and makes...

So... Went out yesterday for another tubing adventure with the kids. Verified we had a TUBING rope, used the entire length and my fears about the rope being too long were groundless. The bigger kids liked the sideways over the wake motion the length allowed while the littles liked that they...

Great to hear. Thanks TomS and BK. I saw the signs/decals on the Boat US site when I became a new member, but I wondered if that's what you all were using because I wasn't sure how that would work with the rippled panels. Obviously, very well. Any recommendations on general size of lettering...

Seaworthy...check BoatUS membership...check From your lips to my Amex card. Hofmasters has been great. We're fortunate enough to have a little marina in our community. What depth is too shallow? What's the best way to get the name on the boat?

Thanks Semperfi. Once I figure out where to put gas in, I'll be sure to add stabilizer, too. Lol. Seriously, the dealer gassed it up when we took it out and we somehow missed that detail during our orientation. We'll be sure to find out this weekend. I looked up the BoatUS membership. I...

Kahuna, We live close to the Mount Vernon Estate. I'm looking forward to seeing it from the water. We've only been out once and that was from the dealer to out between Belmont and Occoquan Bays for a little tubing. We didn't know what the heck we were doing (as evidenced by my previous...

This is the third time I've woken my husband up tonight to look at something on this forum! Thankfully, he's as excited about our new Bennington (<1 week old) as I am. Great names, great pics. Every one of them made me smile. I wondered whether or not peoole named their pontoons, now I know...

I mean cwag911. See? It's sad.

Is there such a thing as 'Bennington brain' where you can't stop thinking about your new Benny, you find yourself either cruising the forums or on pontoon website looking for accessories, and you can't wait until you can get on your toon again? Benningtonosis? Benningtonitis? Benningtonoma...

The grill looks amazing. Exactly where we'd like to put a grill for our new 22SLX, but I'm wondering if there'll be enough room back there.

The forum thinks I'm 4 hours ahead. It's 9:25 pm right now.

Captain Google says we have 4k tow rope, for up to 4-passenger tubes. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again.

Holy Pontoons, Banaman! I think we were using 30 ft max. Lol. Have no idea what kind of rope it was. Just bought it at the dealer. It's braided, black and orange, 3/4" wide and tubular (fibers woven around an open center), really long, and had loops at both ends. Just goes to show you...

Will stop worrying right now. Thanks
