I have a Simrad Go12 flush mount unit on my 23R and everything I read says that there is not a Simrad cover that works for a flush mounted unit. At the boat show this year I saw Garmin has magnetic covers that work on their flush mounted units. I have googled to no avail to see if these are...

I know it is not recommended to use the OEM cover when trailering, but I have an arctic white interior that gets really beat up with bugs, etc. while trailering on the Highway. I’m concerned that if I hit a patch of tar or other road grime it is going to permanently damage the Simtex fabric. I...

No sir.

So we just took delivery of our new R23 and opted to get the dual Bimini option which we definitely wanted. The question I have is does anyone know why Bennington designed the front Bimini to lean forward (towards bow) when stowed rather than backward (towards stern)? I trailered the boat on...

Paid 4.74 for 90 Ethanol Free. So basically 250 bucks for a days worth of fun on the water with the family. Last year it might have been 190. So an extra 60 bucks. In the big scheme of things it’s a bit of a bite, but you only live once and life is short so I will keep making those memories that...

Hi everyone, I have the same issue. Just picked up a 23RSB and the Simrad was not calibrated properly. It had “some” fuel in it, but the 18 gallons it said I do not believe were correct because it took almost 40 more. I cannot find anywhere in any specifications for 2022 what the fuel tank...

I know this should probably be posted in the power section but I wanted to have as much exposure as possible. Getting ready to order a 2022 R23 RSB and really want a 300 Verado but my dealer is trying to talk me out of a Verado and into just the basic 4 stroke because he says the Verado power...

My dealer is not a fan of the Verado because of the steering system. I know it is quieter, a bit heavier, has a larger alternator but that seems to be about it. Has anyone seriously compared the two? Placing my order next week for a 2022 R23. Had a 2021 R23 with a 300 Yamaha and didn’t love...

Curious if anyone has pics of either of these. Would like to 12” but don’t want it to be obnoxiously large. Dealer thinks 9” is fine but I plan on keeping this boat for a while so I am leaning towards 12. Any input/opinion is certainly appreciated.

Took delivery of our 24R last week and was surprised at the lack of printed owners manuals that came with the boat. I was expecting one for the Rockford-Fosgate system, Garmin, etc. Have these all gone to online owner's manuals? Just curious if others are receiving printed versions.

Looking for some advice.... I custom ordered a 21 23RCW last fall and it has been built and is sitting at my dealer and I am just waiting for some nicer weather to go get it. I spent hours and hours researching and spending time here on the forum to get exactly what I wanted and I did, except...

I ordered last Oct and my boat is here but I haven’t taken delivery yet. The holdup for me was actually the trailer. I was told they were 4-5 months behind as well.

So I am taking delivery of my 2021in two weeks and was talking to my dealer today and I asked about the height of the motor mount and also which prop he recommended. He replied that they typically mount on the lowest hole (motor is deepest) to prevent “blowout” on sharp turns and to go with a...

Well my sales guy called up to the factory and they are not doing any tours right now due to COVID. Bummer.

Man, that graphite does look awesome. My dealer is going to shoot me. Decisions, decisions....
