Sounds great! Did you consider the extended aft deck? If you plan on tubing, swimming etc. it sure comes in handy. We are very glad we have it.

We had not but it sounds like another great option. I did not see it as an option when building. I will ask my salesman about it as the final order has not gone in yet. Thanks for your input and your service.
 
I'm curious. Is 115 a restricted lake size no motor bigger than 115 allowed? Like on Lake Macbride it's a 9.9 restricted (nothing bigger than a 9.9 is allowed on) between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Before and after it is no wake speed but any size motor. The reason I ask is resale (and trailering to other bodies of water). If 115 is the max you can have on the lake I get it, but if you're thinking because the lake is smaller and you don't need a 150, that's different. And...
GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Rockie69, Unfortunately pontoons are limited to 115 hp and runabouts limited to 200 hp. Trust me, I would much rather throw at least a 200hp engine on the back. And of course GO HAWKS
 
Mike31406, I spoke with my salesman today and he stated "The extended aft deck is standard when you go with the Fastback floorplan, so we are good to go. Thanks again.
 
Sounds like an awesome build you have going! Remember to treat us to some pictures when you take possession.

Great, good news. You are going to love it!
 
Congrats on the Bennington. We are just north of Omaha. Where did you buy your boat? Sorry, Go Big red....

We bought ours there from Orly. Great guy. Pat who runs service does a great job as well.

What lake are you on? We boat on the Missouri and at Branched Oaks.
 
I agree with Mike31406 on the extended aft deck. We have the same color combo and it looks very cool with reflection of the water on a sunny day. Enjoy !
 
Congratulations on the new order and a great build! I look forward to pictures when it comes in. It also looks like you did a lot of research and put a lot of thought into your specs - pretty much adding everything all of us typically recommend other people spend their money on. :D

As you can see from my picture, we’re a Big Ten family as well - all MSU alum. Glad to add more from our conference into the fold. ;)

Our salesman is ay. Great guy and wealth of information. We live in Valley on a small lake but plan on going to Okoboji as I am originally from Northwest Iowa and some other area lakes from time to time.

I am a huge Iowa and Big Ten fan. You guys have definitely gotten the better of us lately in every sport that matters minus wrestling
