Try building a boat now, it looks like the Roswell is no longer available.

23 LSB ordered august 2021,came in the end of Jan,motor came in end of Feb,delivered end of March.

The lighter silver has a lot of dirty,darker spots already.I guess they were not to careful when it was put together or the final assembly at the dealer I guess.I have been known to kill a few mosquitoes and spiders with the whip of a towel or rag so I will have to be extra careful now.

Just took delivery of a 23lsb,great looking boat.The rear speakers is a add on.I went with the analogue gauges,it is a GPS speedometer,200hp Yamaha,not fully broken in yet but touched 40mph with a pretty strong headwind.This my 2nd bennington,love the boat,but attention to detail is just not...

We are on Abbott’s creek also,we don’t get under #8 till the water is down around 3 feet.The lake level stayed higher this year than some other years.

VEE, I need abought 5.3 feet of clearance to get under the #8 bridge and the oboma railroad bridge at flat swamp, all of the other bridges you should be good.(that is of course with the Bimini down.).You can check bridge clearance and lake levels at HRLA.COM

I have a 24sslx w/150 and after 3 to 4 months left in the water I go from 38/39 down to 24/25.Just clean the tubes and your back to normal.

If the toons are really dirty I would think that could be your only problem.When I put my 2013 sslx tritoon w/ 150 yam in the water new I would see 41 mph.Now that its several yrs old, when the toons are cleaned I will see 38mph,that's when I put it in the water in April.by the end of July I am...

I have noticed that my faux teak floor is starting to bubble also on my 2013 sslx. I sure hope I don't have to send mine back, but I loved the boat so far.

Snake, my toon stays in the water most of the time and I have the extended deck.I sure would hate the little deck when trying to put the mooring cover on every day without it.The extended deck was worth the money, but I did like the ladder they use on small deck better.

I have the 24sslx with the 150 and sps.The boat has plenty of get up and go.This was my first pontoon and the first time I ever pulled skiers and thought it did so just fine.It would run 40-42 when new but after it sat in the water a while the top speed dropped alot.I pulled it out and pressure...

I have the seagrass with the teak on the back deck. When it sets in the sun they both can get very hot.

My 24sslx went from 40 mph down to 22 mph after sitting in the water for 4 months.I would lose about 2 mph each weekend.I pressure washed the toons last weekend on a trailer so I couldnt get the bottom part real good that was on the bunks.I got back to 35mph.I guess I wont see 40mph ever again...

Alcoa rules the lake so I cant have a lift..I will try to clean them soon .It is supposed to rain between 1 to 2 inches this sat. and Sunday.

I agree,that's a big drop.I was wondering if the third toon made it more drastic of a drop.I saw your post about cleaning them but I only get to use it on weekends and we have had so much rain this year I have tried to ride as much as possible.I think it has rained every weekend except two since...
