    I bought a new boat. Completely unexpectedly. You gotta hear this.

    Come to think of it, my wife NEVER saw the extinguisher... I just told her about it. Trust in a marriage is awesome (and beneficial!) ;)

    I bought a new boat. Completely unexpectedly. You gotta hear this.

    It was last year's model, unsold in 2024, and also unsold at the marina's 2025 Winter Boat Show. They were motivated to sell it to make room for a newer boat in the showroom. I think your situation will be different. Good luck!

    Non-current Discounts of MSRP

    The boat I just bought this week was a 2024 holdover from the winter boat show. The marina needed to get rid of it, so they sold it to me at cost. Gave me an incredibly generous offer for my trade-in as well. I could not resist. It's all about the timing and situation.

    Motor Cover or no Motor Cover?

    I had a VMAX and I absolutely covered the cowling while in the slip. It was too beautiful to leave out in the sun and rain.

    I bought a new boat. Completely unexpectedly. You gotta hear this.

    It's been several years since I've been on the forum; some of you regulars may remember me. After four seasons with my trusty Bennington 20' SLG dual-log, L-bench pontoon, I FINALLY decided to upgrade. I've wanted a bigger and better boat with a swingback lounge for the past several years (as...

    SimTex Fabric Issue

    My Simtex seats get covered with suntan lotion all the time, despite my efforts to sit/lay on towels. When it dries, it looks like light, white cloudiness. 303 Muti Surface Cleaner and a microfiber towel takes it right off. It also cleans squished spider guts, food stains, etc. I’ve never had a...

    $540 for cable Bimini straps. That is absolutely asinine. They are just straps!

    Skinning Strategy

    There is literally no way you could seal up the bottom of your boat that will not allow for water to drain.

    Yamaha F90LB tilt question

    The spring is broken. Should be an easy fix.

    Trim gauge not working

    The trim gauge on mine is far from perfect. It moves when I trim, but there is no real ‘scale’ to its movements.

    New Pontoon- need bumpers

    They aren’t. They sway to and fro unless you get the kind that are secured to your boat by being tucked in between your log and the bottom of your deck.

    New Pontoon- need bumpers

    Fender are mounted on your boat. Bumpers are mounted on your dock. :cool:

    Easy way to store fenders?

    My six G4s go under the helm while underway..

    Depth Guage Reading at Speed

    My Garmin cuts out over 4,200 rpm (ya know, I never checked what speed that is). It’s mounted as low as possible on my port log. It is what it is.

    Battery Placement

    I noticed that on a similar boat in the dealership and told my dealer to NOT have Bennington install it on my build.... just leave it unmounted. My dealer then mounted the battery box further back in the storage compartment where I indicated On delivery. Plenty of room now!
