    Need a privacy enclosure.. and quick!

    When I bought my boat last year I wanted the back loungers, but went with the change room because of installing a porta potty. My wife doesn't do getting in the water and other women that are on the boat don't either, some will, but I have to put up with the wife. I accually put in a porta potty...

    Who's on Lake Norman?

Went to the Landing off slanting bridge road and had lunch with my son and daughter inlaw and my grand child Hunter 14 month old and first time in the boat.

    Who's on Lake Norman?

    Cruised Lake Norman today and lots of boats were out there. Kind of rough, but had a great time and enjoyed the Carolina blue sky. Had lunch at the Rusty Rudder then hit some coves under the 150 bridges, it was nice and calm in the coves. Saw some people in the water tubing and wake boarding...

    Cleaning inside the tubes

    I do have a wave shield underneath the boat and I do trailer the boat to different lakes. I'm in North Carolina and mostly boat on Lake Norman. Last May we had terrible flooding on the Catawba river which brought trash, debris, and etc. into Lake Norman. My brother lives on Lake Lookout which is...

    Cleaning inside the tubes

    Sorry, but maybe I can make it a little clearer. Under the boat if you are going over the top of the the tube toward the outside, there is a cavity half way down where all the trash has accumulated. You can not get your hand to it and you can't wash it out with a hose. I was wondering if the...

    Cleaning inside the tubes

    I have a 2013 24slx with twin elliptical freshwater performance package with the under deck wave shield. After some flooding last year. Some trash (leafs, sticks, etc.) was wash down the river and ended up in the lake and got down in the inner tubes. I have looked and it doesn't seem a way to...

    115 vs 150 Yamaha

    Don't have the 2275 RL, but the 24slx EPP 2 toons and with a Yamaha 150. Thought I would hit 40 > 42 with 2 people but the best is 39mph per GPS with two 200 lb adults. Carl is hitting 39 with tri-toon is pretty good with a 150 and they do handle better in the turns. When I bought mine I went...

    Front Corner Bumpers

    I have a new bennie 24' slx with epp and 150 yammie. Question is I have taken it out 4 times and 2 out of the 4 it has been windy and I have had dents put in the corners of the bow. First was my fault second was someone pulling me to their pier. There is at least a 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap between...

    Bumpers

    Thanks for the input. Can you suggest another fender to use, I would appreciate it. I'm accually not on the lake (wish I was). I am going to trailer between Lake Hickory and Norman, I spent my years growing up on Hickory, but live closer to Norman, and will go to both, have friends on both. I...

    Dual Battery Setup

    Went to my dealer today to finalize the purchase of my boat (24slx, elliptical fresh water package with 150 Yamaha) and it looks great. When there I mentioned installing and extra battery that I could switch from one to the other. It just so happened they just installed one, and the price was...

    Why us owners think Bennington is the best!

    Looked, looked, and looked some more for about 1 year. Took the wife with me quite a few times and I believe finally she thought, just buy one. I would look under the boats, over the boats, around the boats, sit in the boats, dream of the boats, questioned the sales representative's until they...

I have worked down there for 2 different years 78 & 96 stayed in Clemson and Easley, and it is beautiful...

    Porta potti questions

    Accually the SLX does not have a lounger in the back and the change room is fairly high. I suppose the reason for the high cost is that it has a holding tank, is plumbed to the outside for disposal at the marina, and the repositioning of the battery box and cover. Otherwords (labor cost). I...

    Porta potti questions

    Just bought a 24SLX and wanted a porta potti, the dealer ordered one with a holding tank and is plumbed out the side for pumping out at the marina. It goes in the change room area and they will have to move the battery and battery cover over to the left hand corner (nothing there anyway). About...
