Just got mine the other day... there's still 2 feet of ice, so not a ton of pics, but here's my dealer pic! She's a beauty!

Good call. Anyone put any antennas on their bimini's? I don't want something ungodly ugly.

Untaxed fuel is dyed red. They dip your tank with a stick and if it comes out red, you face heavy fines. I've never seen it done on a boat, but I've seen State Troopers dip farmers trucks tanks (they can only run untaxed fuel on farm equipment).

Hi All! Has anyone installed a 30w marine two-way radio on their Bennington? Any advise on what brand or where to mount the receiver and antenna? Or is everyone just using the 5w handhelds? We go on the river quite a bit, and there's quite a few spots with no cell reception. With a handheld, I...
