    Rod Holder recommendation

    I actually use them for trolling and haven't had any issues. It took a couple of tries to get them mounted correctly, but once they are on they haven't budged and I troll deep with snap weights for walleyes and wipers. I am confident enough to use them with my digital line counters and loomis...

    Rod Holder recommendation

    depending on your model you might not be able to use traditional square tube mounts, you need to have access to all sides of the tube for most. On my Bennington, the skin comes all the way up to the top tube so Scotty or other traditional mounts wouldn't work. I have for of the Railblaza pontoon...

    Nearly a new Benny Owner - Advice on Pontoon vs Tritoon

    I’ve had several pontoons over the years, I just sold my 2013 Harris Solstice Tritoon with Verado 150 (private lake HP restrictions). The boat I chose to replace it with was a new Bennington with the express 3rd tube and 115 HP mercury command thrust. I know how we use our boat and this was the...

    Best boating lake in your state.

    In Missouri, there are a lot of options but a couple would dominate the list based on the boat I had and the experience I wanted. Lake Of the Ozarks would be the choice if you have a big boat with a big motor/s and wanted a party experience. Lots of festivals, the shoot-out, and a huge variety...

    front bimini flew off

    from your picture, you did not have the arm "latched" around the pin. The black plastic clip must be snapped around that pin not resting on top of it, it takes a good hard smack with the bottom of your palm to seat it. If you have always run it like that I am surprised it hasn't happened prior.

    2017 22SSRXP Premium cost used

    You can likely buy a new SX equipped similarly for 10-12K more. I just bought my 2023 22SXSB with Merc 115, Simrad, upgrade Rockford stereo, amp, sub for under $55k. The market for new boats has changed a lot in the last 6 months, I do not believe used boats have moved lower as quickly as the...

    Railing panels

    Aluminum doesn't react well to PDR (paintless dent repair) it tends to oil can, especially on big flat surfaces. It is hard to tell from your picture but those look like fairly large dents just behind the silver accent panel, If this was my new boat I would ask for new panels.

    Side Skirting

    If your old transducer is still on the boat cut the wire at the transducer zip tie the new cables to the old cables and pull them through to the dash or wherever your display is. I have had to do this 2 times and it worked flawlessly for me.

    ProXS vs standard 4 stroke

    I am a mercury guy and would buy another Verado but they don't make it in the 150 or 115 hp motors anymore. So I am trying to decide between a ProXS command thrust and a normal 4-storke command thrust motor for my new Bennington. I am having a heck of a time finding any difference between the 2...

    Former Harris Sunliner owner about to buy 2023 22SX swing back. Looking for a quality comparison

    I am going with the express package and the 115 ProXS. I have a 150 verado on my current boat and never use it at full power. I live on a medium size private lake with a 40MPH speed limit. 95% of our time is spent slow cruising or tied up with friends.
