Wow! Are they using 14k gold stitching now?!?

We used to have our tritoon acid washed by our old dealership in Virginia. They lifted/picked it up by the deck so they had full access to all 3 pontoons. After it completely dried they applied Sharkhide and this coating would last 3 or 4 seasons before we had to repeat this whole process!

Yup I remember the Bicentennial back in 1976! I was a high school junior living in Maryland right outside of Washington DC! We all went to the National Mall for the concert and of course the fireworks show! Johnny Cash performed as well as the Mormon Tabernacle choir! Damn that was a loooooong...

Got a few over the years! https://photos.app.goo.gl/HeBbGFHW9oWDpH5W6

More pics of our water shortage. This is right next to our cove.....

Abarbarian we had a 2003 Bennington that had water in the starboard tube. Took it to an aluminum tig welder and he drilled a hole and gallons poured out! He welded a threaded bung hole in case we needed it to drain it in the future. After extensive testing and searching he couldn't figure out...

Thx! Rained a bit last night but not enough!

Yup we're in North Carolina right above Charlotte and we've been in a pretty serious drought pretty much all spring! Oh sure it's rained here and there but not enough to make a dent in the water shortage! That bad weather front that you're talking about is pretty much staying to our south! We've...

Due to a spring drought Lake Norman has been about 5 feet below full pool! We've been doing a lot of traveling but we haven't even had our boat out! You see stumps and crap sticking out all over and just don't feel safe. We've lived here for 11 years now!

I know you mentioned that your husband has neuropathy. Is the issue not having enough steps that go deeper in the water so it would make it easier for him to get on the ladder and climb up or is it something else?!? The reason why I ask is that I've had a hip replaced and more recently a knee...

Try greatlakesskipper.com. They often have discontinued Bennington parts. I purchased a whole set of original gauges for my old Bennington I/O back in the day. It's worth a shot! Put some feelers out! They may have some Forum members that have one that no longer ski or tube and might part with it!

In our 1st boat way back in the day we uncovered it and they chewed up all of our dock lines and anchor line and made nests out of them! That's when we started using moth balls!

Finally!!!

I've had this job done under warranty when we had a problem with the glue seeping through the seagrass. A crew came from the factory to our dealership and literally knocked it out! It took them a day to remove Everything from the deck! The 2nd day they replaced the seagrass and reinstalled...

What A Game!!! Well deserved National Championship!!!
