Bennington #2, what an upgrade!

[SEMPERFI8387]

From SC Boating Regulation Handbook, so I'd say illegal.

• Allowing passengers to ride on the bow, gunwale, transom, seat backs, seats on raised decks, or any other place where there may be a chance of falling overboard

Highly doubt that I would have anyone riding back there anyways haha. I would be hard to fall off of the rear seat anyways

 

[NorthMyrtle]

2) If that's your old pontoon, why would you ever get another one?

What one are you referring to? Traded a 2014 S20 for the '17 24. Still have the flat deck one in Florida

 

[NorthMyrtle]

Finally got her on the water yesterday. After the break in procedure I had to open her up to see what she could do. With a 14.5x15p prop I hit 41mph at 5900 rpm gps confirmed. Over all the boat performed awesome. Took her in the ocean to see how it would handle the swell and the waves just rolled under.

Looks fantastic!  Sounds like it was a great ride the first day out.  Wish we could do that right now up here in Michigan. 


Enjoy the new pontoon!

Sweet! What's with all the shadows in your pictures? Were you boating at night?

Sun was setting, went later in the day

Sorry, just my weak attempt at humor. We've been sun deprived up here in the great white north! Come on summer...

Supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow and this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to update with new pictures

Beautiful Bennington


Send Those Warm Temps North 


It has been unseasonably mild 

 

[NorthMyrtle]

Had a good weekend on the new toon wearing shorts and a t-shirt (yes I'm bragging to all of you cold weather people). Now at 7 hours. Took her in the ocean, on some rough seas, and she handled it like a dream. I'll upload some photos later in the day

Looking forward to seeing those photos! Us northerners are living vicariously though you southerners during these cold months!

 

[NorthMyrtle]

Left the jon boat at home and took the Benni on the Waccamaw River over the weekend. Everyone was surprised by how well it performed 

 

[NorthMyrtle]

And some of the boats I was up against

And how I ended my day

 

[buckeym]

Man she is beautiful! Next rig will be a swingback!

Ain't that the truth!  

 

[BulldogsCadillac]

Better be careful leaving the bimini on the trailering struts instead of radar position, you're going to knock yourself out!! Hehe

Just curious has anybody ridden in the Swingback seat while underway?!? I noticed that you don't have the protective railing back there.......
