What is the performance difference? Is one better than the other? How is it price wise?

I can't tell you anything about price, nor can I tell you what Bennington was thinking in terms of design, but I can tell you this much...

Last year my local dealer got in... I forget if it was 25 or 28 feet, either an R or a Q... I think Q. (Not QCW though)

It had the ESP package and the 350hp Yamaha Outboard.

Well, we went for a ride.

First of all, if you're sitting anywhere in the back half of the boat when the Capt hits the throttle, you can forget about seeing the water in front of the boat for a little while. The boat just LEAPS forward.

Top speed was 51mph in choppy water with no attempt at optimizing trim, prop, whatever...

The boat turned INTO a turn, just like a monohull.

Oh, and the guy on the jetski that we literally ran actual circles around... Well, he looked a bit surprised.

Coming back in at a more sedate pace, mid-20's... It was as solid as a rock.

I would GUESS the twin elliptical is even more smooth.

But the ESP package...

Whooo-baby.

You get some good HP behind that and your wife will NEVER get you to come home in time for dinner.
