We sold "Big Kahuna" this weekend. Yeah you read right. It's still a shock when we say it. We put her on Marketplace and Craigslist just before Easter. We received 28 calls/messages of interest. The 2nd couple that came to see it and test drive it bought it and towed it home to Smith Mountain lake near Roanoke VA. on Friday. They told me they couldn't believe the "new" condition that the seats, upholstery, and carpet was in for a 2004 Bennington R. They also loved the custom wrap on the panels. We told them 13 years of religiously covering the boat, treating the seats, and waterproofing the carpet pays off in the long run.......... Literally. We sold her for what we paid for it in 2008. I would say Bennington's hold their value! We loved that boat! Lots of family memories were made. My kids grew up on that boat. But.......It was time for something else. A different floorplan. A different motor. A different boat altogether??? After months of painstaking research we bought a boat back in December. (It was killing me to not tell you guys.) We were going to wait for the boat show season but we received a deal that we couldn't refuse. They ended up throwing in a double Bimini, a Simrad, a duel battery set up, and a deeply discounted double axle galvanized trailer. Not to mention a manufacturers rebate and a dealer rebate. No we didn't buy another Bennington. Out of respect for this forum, the members, and the moderators I won't disclose what we bought. Not the place for it.
Let's just say we wanted to stay in the Bennington family but just couldn't get a deal done with 2 different Bennington dealers (A local one and one in W. Virginia.) and a dealer in S.C. selling a Bennington. We tried. So I'll still be around this forum throwing in my 2 cents. There's a good group of guys here.....
