Thanks to all for your input. I have passed this information on to my dealer and I'm looking forward to what he finds out.

We recently took delivery of our new 2275 GCW. We have twin elliptical pontoons with a Yamaha 115 hp motor. At WOT we only turn 4,800 rpm and make 24.5 miles per hour on relatively smooth water. Does this sound normal to you? Thanks for your response.

We don't have the center fuel tank. Your information makes me feel a whole lot better. (Except for the fact that we have to wait two more months to see our new boat. Thanks Jim

Our new 2275 GCW will be constructed next week. We ordered the twin elliptical tubes. I just read the post that said that the extra fuel tank hangs down with a box shape cutting the speed and I'm sure the mpg. I still have time to cancel the center tank option if it is a problem. Does anyone...

Thanks again for all of the positive response. I feel much better having heard from you all. Jim

We just ordered a 2275GCW. This is our first pontoon boat and we thought that the Bennington was the one to buy. I have now been reading all of the horror stories about fueling and getting fuel spilled and taking as long as 20 minutes to fill up. After hearing all of the stories I'm wondering...

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to do the same. Jim

We just ordered our first pontoon a 2275 GCW. I read the posts about Sharkhide. Is that something that I should plan to do to our new boat before going in the water?
