How do you like your LTSB? How does it ride compared to a traditional toon? Any regrets?I ordered my 23 LTSB on January 15 and had a build date of 4/12. Today I received this pic from my dealer! Finally!!! However... no motor. Yamaha 250 VMAX SHO. Still on back order. View attachment 30029
How do you like it? How does the ride compare to traditional toons? Any regrets?Hi All. I ordered a 23 LSB on 2/12. Dealer said 6/5 build date with 1st week of July delivery. I also have it ordered with a 175 vmax. Little nervous that it will be end of July.
How do you like it? How does it ride compared to traditional toons? You got the bow rider, right? Just wondering about performance. Any regrets? Thanks!Ordered our 2021 23LSB back in January. Dealer says boat is out of production but there aren't enough drivers to ship it to us (WA State). Is there more I should understand? I read upthread about foam deliveries, etc. but if the boat is ready can I hire a driver to bring it to us? I also don't have a shrink-wrapped picture and the dealer has not been super transparent about things (first it was on its way, then two weeks later it was still at the factory :-().
Glad you found the Club Bennington forum from FB!How do you like it? How does it ride compared to traditional toons? You got the bow rider, right? Just wondering about performance. Any regrets? Thanks!
I can say I LOVE my 26LXSB and prefer it over any of my friends ski boats & v hulls. Ride is so much better, with a 350 faster than most. The Con: very small wake for wakeboards. I can live with that even though we Wakeboard frequently. Everything is a tradeoff.How do you like it? How does it ride compared to traditional toons? You got the bow rider, right?

Sorry to revive an old thread. I’ll start a new one of more appropriate.I can say I LOVE my 26LXSB and prefer it over any of my friends ski boats & v hulls.

Ski Rope - for anything other than pros, any rope will due. I do find the handles with less aggressive texturing are a bit easier on the hands, though a pair of gloves can solve that. The "thin plastic" rope has less stretch and thus more response - again primarily only realized by a pro. Do be sure to get a bright rope that floats! There are some ropes that adjust in length, I do like that feature (larger wake closer to the boat - and our Benny's don't have much to start with - generally state 3 or 4 sections of rope). I have never used the "extra" handle that is available with some. Note - eventually you WILL hit the rope with the prop - so the sectional ropes or regular ski ropes (vs the solid plastic lines) also offer the ability to fix and keep using.
WakeBoards: The wider taller boards are best for beginners. Less responsive but more stable. I found the Hyperlight a great value. Get boots with open toes, accommodates more foot sizes. Amazon has the Hyperlight State 2.0 with Remix boots - a great combo. Boots tend to be more important than board. I found package pricing off amazon to be better - found a sale. Ultimately got two - one small one large.
Carry some natural soap, a couple of drops can make getting into the boots easier with big feet. They also make special stuff for this, but??

Can you ballast or load people to one side of the Benny to get more wake out of it? Curious as we take up wakeboarding when the kids get older.
