    Seat slide part

    Possibly you can use a door hinge and cut a section out?

    Tow pylon single pole slightly angled.

    Check inside the Motor Pod - you should be able to easily see the bracket and if it is welded or bolted. The fact that there is no play or wiggle suggests the mount was installed with that 2-degree slant. I can't imagine it would have any effect, other than driving us OCD Benny owners a tad...

    Pontoon protection Metal Jacket XL

    My Benny is generally in the Lake about 4 months in the summer. Sharkhide was applied when new, that worked great year 1, worked well year 2. We would use about every 2 weeks, and would find a calm cover, used our vest as diaper floats, and used large scrub pads (attached) - a quick back and...

    Time to buy a boat??

    My LX 2021 $116K build is now $172K. Though when I built a similar M model, it was $155K! However, the build options were very different and it seemed the LX build had some premium features, though the M is classified as a premium. Did not have time for a full reconciliation, but an...

    Boat Lift Decision

    I don't have experience with a boat lift, but I boondock (Camp with no hookups). I suggest a properly sized/matched lithium battery, Victron Inverter, and solar panel would easily handle this. The biggest challenge might be mounting the panel, but I assume the Boat Lift people could figure out...

    Adding 2nd Bimini

    With Cable Stays, I have been at 47 mph zero issue, though normally cruise in the mid to high 30's. 4 seasons, zero issue.

    Search the post "List Your Specs Here" - you probably can find a similar setup with some info.

    Dual volt gauge- 2019 23 swingback. I added 2nd battery for stereo

    My Simrad tells me the volts, although I have to turn the main switch to 1 or 2 to get each separately.

    Pontoon cover or seat covers?

    If I am using my Benny the next day, I don't put a cover on. Othewise I use the mooring cover - BigKahuna has a great youtube video that provides a process that makes on and off about a 7 minute task. Our dock get's monsoons all summer, so a taunt cover that is well secured is critical...

    Dock and Channel lights

    I added these at a 1,000 lumens, wish I can gone brighter but they help a LOT. We boat well into the evening a lot, and our dock has turns, narrow runways, rocks and cables - so the dock lights come in handy. Wired direct to the existing dock lights made wiring easy. 3 seasons in, no issues.

    Modifying our boarding ladder....

    Transducer: All the post I have seen with the transducer working past 20mph were located at the bottom (same plane your's is), but the farthest to the outside as possible - seems that is your next step! Ladder - that is awesome!

    Battery Terminal Cover

    Amazon can provide! Take one you have to a hardware store and figure out the thread size. I have never seen a batter cover like this... A dealer add maybe?

    First Time Buyer / Good Price

    A big question is what options / features does it have. A base 20 S-J Bench is currently $40K with a 90 on Bennington's build site, no trailer. I am unclear if that would be a Bi or Tri toon. If a Bi Toon and a 90 - the tubing experience would be limited and will not grow with the kids. I...
