Guitars, cars, motorcycles, SCUBA, and flying. No particular order! Sold my airplane a few weeks ago. Boat is now winterized, time to start looking at getting the snow plow out unfortunately.

I have had 2 strokes in the past and went through an extensive winterization on them to include fogging the carb and cylinders. This year is my first winter with the Bennington and a lovely EFI four stroke motor. I was all set to do the fogging this weekend and glad I read the owners manual on...

The yacht club trailer I looked at (20 foot, single axle, no brakes) had a max load of 2300 lbs. I felt that was cutting it a little too close. My boat weighs just under 1800 without motor, gas, and equipment.

Well I didn’t buy either of the trailers. They were new and looked nice but I have decided to keep looking. I might just need to order one and have it shipped that is even possible. If anyone knows where I can find (and get delivered to Maine) a tandem trailer with brakes for a 20 footer, I...

The one issue I forgot to mention is that the tandem trailer he has is for a 24 not a 20. He said it will work but I am not so sure. Seems like it would be too long and cause issues with the tongue weight.

Thank you for the reply. I have a 3/4 ton truck with a 6.4L engine. I will likely be towing a couple of weekends per month during the summer anywhere from 10-30 miles from my home. I think our state requires brakes on loads over 4500 lbs. The boat, motor, gear weigh approx 2500 lbs (rough...

I am new to pontoon boats but I bought a 20SL recently without a trailer. I am going to look at two trailers tomorrow. A single axle without brakes and a dual axle with brakes. The guy selling the trailers say you don’t usually need brakes with a 20 foot pontoon boat (70HP motor). Is that true...

Took it out today by myself and clocked 23 MPH WOT at 4900 RPM. Supposed to max out 5000-6000 so probably have it propped a little wrong.

I really like where you have that mounted. I think I can move the depth finder that’s already installed. I like the thought of having a backup so I’ll prob keep both.

Hi here is my helm thank you

Following. I have a 2013 20SL with a Suzuki 70HP motor. I just bought it yesterday and took it on its’ maiden voyage with my wife and son. I checked WOT and got 20MPH on my GPS at about 4800 RPM.

Thanks for the reply, I would like to mount it in that location but there is already a built in depth finder there. I wish Bennington left a little dash space for add-ons like fish finders and VHR radios. I may just have to get creative.

Hi I want to install my striker 4 on my 20SL but not sure where to mount it. Anybody have pictures of theirs? Looking for suggestions. Thank you.
