    let's see what all the Yeti hype is about!

    Arctic is just as good and half the cost - 30oz for 19.99 www.articcoolers.com. Never understood the Yeti fascination, there are so many choices for rotomolded coolers and SS cups with the same quality at half the cost. More of a status thing, who in gods name wears a hat or shirt of a cooler...

    Best Anchor For 3500 LB Pontoon On A Lake?

    Maybe but I fish walleyes in huge wind with a $50 anchor In my other boat and have no issues holding or dislodging the anchor. Guess it's just people priorities, to each their own what the want to spend their money on.

    Best Anchor For 3500 LB Pontoon On A Lake?

    Maybe it's just me but you can buy a anchor for a hell of a lot less than $150+ and still do the job just fine. It's a matter of knowing how to set you anchor and how much line to let out when setting it. As well as positioning your boat in the wind when setting.

    Thoughts on trailering

    Exactly what was said above, dealer told us if we intend to travel anywhere w our Benny to stay away from a scissor trailer. Really just for launching, short trips and not very stable.

    Yeti soft cooler

    Just looked at these yesterday and it's nice but not for the $350 price tag. Lots of soft side coolers for a lot less that hold ice really well, looks for the ones that have what looks like a foil lining. Made by TCB MFG in Laporte, IN - we use these for work to carry frozen samples and work...

    Question on buying a new 2014 Bennington

    Well I pick her up tomorrow, with the warm weather we are having here it won't be long before we get her on the water. I will take some pics and see if I can figure out how to post them up........... Not the most tech savy.

    Stick to your guns especially if you have it in writing, if they misquoted you that's their fault not yours.

    Rod locker

    Dan S, it was already installed on the pontoon when we looked at it so not sure what the cost was. It is a new 2014 20SSX w a bunch of options that we wanted and less than a '15 w the same options. Looks like the pics above and is bolted to the floor and I think the clips would be a pain to...

    Rod locker

    Our SSX has it installed and is nice and out of the way and like you I think I will use it more for cover poles, etc. Well worth the money for the extra storage.
