Thanks everyone. Just looked at the check list. WOW! I thought I was organized. Yup...I'm going to sign up for insurance tomorrow. I'm going to bring the list to the dealer with me. Also, good to know that the guides can be added later....I'd definitely want to do that. BTW - On my way to...

Hi All - We are picking up our boat on Tuesday. This is our first boat....hence the rudimentary questions. How should we secure the boat to the trailer. We know about the wench. Should there be tie down straps as well? We don't know much about the trailer as I've only seen pictures, but I...

Great! I just spoke to the canvas shop and they haven't built anything under the boat - but they can if they have some pictures. Thank you!

Thanks Bruce/Jill, You can also e-mail it to me at cabintahoe@yahoo.com. The one cover that the canvas shop sent me only has one row of snaps. Therefore the water can still get on the deck. The shop didn't want to put snaps by the deck as they can fall off if you hit the deck with the...

Any pictures would be much appreciates. I'd like a cover that serves both purposes. Also, anyone have one with snaps that are at the deck level....any issues with that when docking? Thanks! Julie

Can you post pictures of your cover? I'm looking to have one custom made...no need to reinvent the wheel! Thanks Julie

Hi All - This forum is great for newbies like me. I'm going to have a custom cover made for trailering our 22SLX. The question is - how should the bimini be "stowed" for trailering? Should the cover go on top of bimini or can the bimini be outside the cover? Any other advise on trailering...

Congrats! We are picking up our 22SLX in 1 1/2 weeks. Keeps us posted on how everything goes!

Kaydano, Well....we ordered the 150hp! Still another 1 1/2 weeks before we pick it up. Thanks for the advise. We are sticking with the 22 foot thought...the price just keeps edging up. Plus we are towing with my Highlander so trying to keep the weight down as much as possible. The...

Thanks Royo. I did call Bennington today and they said that there are only a few cases where a dealer will refuse to do warranty work if you didn't buy the boat from them. I called a dealer in my area and they weren't concerned about where the boat was purchased. One more think to check off the...

Does anyone have experience to know if you can buy a boat at one dealership and take it do a different one for warranty service? We are going to buy a boat about 8 hr from where we live so we can take it on our vacation. However, the closest dealer to us is only about 1 hour away. Just want...

You're right...I'll worry about it after I get the boat. Thanks Julie

Thanks. What would the hight be with the playpen cover on? Thanks

I'm also picking up a new 22SLX in 2 weeks. What did you decide on for storage and how much space was needed? I thought we had enough space in our side yard to build a metal garage, but now I'm not so sure. The trailer is 29' and I'm not sure what the total width of the trailer is to make it...

Hi All - Thanks for a quick response. We are in California so we would be using the boat at Lake Tahoe. Our first trip with the boat will be at Diamond Lake. I'll talk to my husband about the 150HP (he definitely wants it). It makes sense that no one wished they has less HP. Also, I didn't...
