    20SLV

    I would pay the price on the Bennington site for my build. $26k plus approximately $1500 for freight and prep. Even $28k would be fair. In our area of NW Connecticut we have 1 Sweetwater and 1 Bennington dealer.

    20SLV

    I’m inclined to wait and order for next year. I’m guessing boat shows will be virtual if that’s even possible. thanks.

    2020 20SLV

    Our only local Bennington dealer has an incoming 20SLV with a 90 hp Yamaha no trailer. Asking $31,745. I assume we’re in a hot sellers market this year. I think $27.5 out the door is right price? Thinking I’ll wait for 2021.if he’s not flexible. Thanks.

    20SLV

    Local dealer quoted $31,745 for incoming 20SLV with a Yamaha F90. No trailer. No competition nearby. I’m assuming it’s a sellers market. Should I try and negotiate on incoming boat or see if he’ll order me one for next year at the price on Bennington website? Thanks

    Buying a used Bennington

    It is a member of our lake community. Never met them and they are moving. Spotty maintenance records. I’ll always be looking at the carpet and wishing for an upgrade. We’ll see what happens. Thanks for your advice.

    Buying a used Bennington

    Looking at the NADA price guide the boat with motor is listed at 13k-15k retail. Do these prices refer to buying a used boat from a dealer? Should I expect to be able to purchase from a private party at a lower price? She is asking 15k for her boat. 2011Bennington SLI with 90 hp Yamaha. Under 60...

    Buying a used Bennington

    The quote for the 20 ft Bennington was about 10k higher than the Sweetwater. I will look into this further

    Buying a used Bennington

    I understand switching to vinyl from carpet is not going to happen. thanks for the pointers--I'm try ing to have a mechanic check the boat with me. I'd replace battery if older than 3 yrs.

    Buying a used Bennington

    Hi All My neighbor is offering a 2011 Bennington 20SLI with a Yamaha 90 hp. 53 hours. Are there any known problem areas I should look for? Seems boat has carpet, I'd like to upgrade to vinyl, not sure of cost for that upgrade. Even with such low hours it's still an 8-9 yo boat. Can't afford a...
