@Jack M , thank you so much, I just purchased the small box anchor as our boat will be a 20ft. what type of rope do I need for the box anchor? The Max depth of our lake is 53 ft.

Where did you get the holders for the box anchors from. Is there a good box anchor you recommend?

@LaurencetheAdventurer , thanks I just joined...

So if I have a side fill, I should use the option you pictured above? thanks so much

@jcr159 , so I think I will wait to purchase a gas can till I purchase the boat so that I can determine my needs at that point in time

@jcr159 , I will have to fill our boat from the dock, as no marina is on our small lake. Is the picture below the VP Jug w/fill tube that you use?

@Jack M , I might actually do that if I can not find a deal on a boat that I want...great idea, thanks

Talked to the rep at Wilson Marine today and they only have 22 Bennington's in stock and out of that number 5 of them have sold since hubby chatted with them on Saturday...I feel that if I do not purchase from them, I will go to the back of the line but they have very few choices.

Thanks this is all great info. I will only use this boat on our small lake --- Walled Lake in Michigan. I snowbird in Florida or Arizona - wherever I find the best deal and I will not take the boat with me out of state. The most we will ever have on the boat is 7 and 2 of those will be...

@Bobby Bass , as a new boater to the market, how would I know if a boat has been sitting on the lot 1 to 2 years?

@Nautical - I would love to purchase a Bennington 2023 model but the store near me has none in stock. One big vendor has 5 locations in the Metro Detroit area and then 4 hours up north there are 3 Bennington Dealers. Do you think it makes since to buy in May, June or July? I'm in no hurry to...

@Jack M , thank you for suggesting to find 2017 or newer, I appreciate you providing the links for the warranty information.

@Bobby Bass, I have been looking online at the dealer nearest me, and
