I was afraid of the same thing ...when we got the boat with 12 hours on it the previous owner had the battery cables marked wrong and both black so when i hooked them up i fried the ignition wiring and took me forever to get a replacement due to Bennington not making it anymore ...so I pretty...

Thank you .... at least our family wasnt hurt or our house but we lost alot of other things 2 barns, garage, 2 vehicles and of course our boat ...but those things can be replaced

I have a set amount of insurance and will be good money for that pontoon but sure wont buy a newer one back by any means ....but at least its a start

I finally got a reply from Bennington stating they carry NO parts over 10 years of age .....so would have to use some type of aftermarket or used parts ..... I got an estimate from a Bennington Dealer who was very helpful and did his best using crossover parts to give me an estimate of $19,470...

We have a 07 Bennington 2275RL that we LOVE but unfortunate events with the Tornados that came thru Kentucky has claimed out boat . My question is that our Insurance Agent said for me to get an estimate and send to them to repair the boat ....but being its age no one has anything in there...

FINALLY got around to finishing up my under skinning and I have to say the back portion was the hardest part of the whole boat ..but very pleased at how it turned out ....now lets see some SUN!!

I bought my sheets from a Steel mill here locally ...... the bad part is now its up to $135 a sheet 4x8 and last year it was $70 and it takes 3 sheets

I have done the floor by myself and just wanted to make sure everyone was going all the way back ..... just going to make a templet out of cardboard and transfer it to the aluminum sheet

I did skip the first few sections...I started on the brace that has my tow hook and went back from there ..... I was thinking i needed to go all the way back just dreaded making a templet and cutting that out back there ...going to be interesting
