When you contacted your dealer, did they say they had a build date from Bennington, or confirmed it had been built and they are just waiting for shipping? Different regions and dealers get different shipments. And different builds get lined up throughout the year with Bennington based on the order they came in and availability of various components and parts. Finally, I believe they ship boats out when they have a minimum going to the same dealership…maybe four pontoons, due to shipping costs. Thus, not a one size fits all answer.
Dealers can get a build date estimate from Bennington, or verification of a build that is going in soon. Hence, the dealer is the nexus point for trying to get any kind of answer on this type of question.
The past couple of years build times after order have been pretty crazy due to high demand and various supply chain issues. For example, there are MANY in here just recently getting their boats from orders placed last July-Dec., 2021.
