Thanks for the info. I'll look for it in May...

I need to read more about Mercury.

I hear that Suzukis are reliable and bullet proof too.

I'd go for that but it looks like Bennington only puts them on 10 foot wide boats. Trailering it may be an issue for me. Some states require permits. Wish they would try twins on an 8'6" wide boat.

Sweet Bennington. Hope mine is very similar!

Thanks for the reply. I will go with the 425. I don't mind some noise and I bet it feels like a muscle car

Hello Illinois, MPH yes. We plan to run up the east coast intracoastal. May be heading your way if you are on the Illinois river or Lake Michigan. Two legs are completed. In 2017, we did 1400 miles Paducah, KY to Sarasota, Fl (2006 JC 266 Classic 225 Honda). This summer we did leg two...

I think 6-8 inches are out. I’m good with it as long as there’s no known issue with it. Thanks for the help.

It does look like it will take off!

First time post. Thanks for having me in the group. I’m looking at a 24 ft or so R series Bennington. It has a beautiful 300 hp outboard on it. My question is: Do you think it is too much weight on the back of a 24 footer and causes the back of the toons to sit low in the water. Just looks...
