Thanks. That might be a solution. I don't want the marina to take a loss, though. They did everything right and feel really bad for us. We initialed every, single line item on the contract to build to make sure that it was correct.

Thank you for your 2 cents. We have our whole family coming in that week -- coordinating family schedules is a small miracle -- and planned to go tubing. We won't have the break in time for the engine and maintenance to do that. I'm a bit upset. BUT, I do agree. It's important to like the boat.

Has anyone else gone to the trouble of building a custom boat (22 SSLX tritoon with SPS) and had Bennington build the wrong boat? Or is that just us? Our boat is to arrive at the marina tomorrow, but Bennington built an SLX instead of an SSLX -- HUGE DIFFERENCE THERE! They are offering us a...

We are naming our boat Dobby's Sock! If you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll get it right away. For those less familiar, Dobby is an elf. Elves gain freedom when given an article of clothing. Dobby's owner was tricked into giving him a sock, and Dobby was freed. So, in Harry Potter language, our...

Thanks! We appreciate your experienced reply. That's the kind of input we needed.

Thanks! We got the extended deck and power steering too. Thanks! And thanks for your input. Deciding tonight, hopefully.

We are about to purchase our first Bennington and cannot wait! The only option we don't agree on is which tube package to buy. We will have an 150 HP engine, upgrade the steering if we purchase the express tube package, so the only difference between the two boats is the tubes. We plan to use...
