I was aware and I used "Bennington" very loosly there as I knew that was the dealer. I should choose my words more carefully :) Anyway I did ask about the prob when I purchased the boat and the response was something about them putting the best prop based on the boat and motor combo from charts...

I never played with the prop or did these calculations - the boat perfomed good enough for us, and would top out above 45 when we needed the speed. I assumed bennington knew the best prop for the boat and equipped it correctly. My new boat has a 300, and it performs much differently than that...

by it's own weight. if it bounces around while underway I will secure it, but I don't think that will be necessary.

it's been raining all day, so I doubt I'll get those today.

LOL...Nope!

I'll try to do that this afternoon.

I posted this on the Bennington owners page on FB, but thought I would share here. We spend a lot of time "tied up" with other boats, with people constantly walking across the backs of the boat. I have the ski pole out for people to use as support, as the space behind the swingback to walk...

We had the SHO 250 on our last boat, now have the yamaha 300F on our newer boat. The 300 is much quieter than the 250 was, but I never considered the 250 SHO to be super loud. However, it was harder to have a conversation running 25mph with the SHO than it is with the 300.

I learned a bit about muskrats this year. We keep our boat in a lift, but this year they were bringing the water way down (8' below normal). In the past we left our boat in the water over the winter when they did that without issue. About a month ago we had a nice day and went out on the boat...

We had the kicker full system in our 23 RSB what we sold (to someone else on this forum) last year. It was a great system. On the new boat (22Q) we got the Rockford system. Both systems are great, but we do like the Rockford a little better. It's clearer when running at higher levels and...

Great boat, congrats!

Lift for sure. We are on a pretty busy cove, and the wake boats can really get things moving. Even with our PWC all the way up on a floater (which takes two people to push it off), one day we came over to the jetski half off the float and only held by the backup rope I had in case that...

I had a 2017 23R with the 250 SHO, 17 pitch SS prop. It belongs to another forum member now. With 2 people, full tank of gas it would run 46 to 47 WOT
