While its not a Bennington but a Harris Flote boat, I thought this picture was the foundation of safety in 1971. Me as a newborn on board our pontoon boat. HAHAHA

Very cool. My cousin's 2009 SX230 is blue. Seems like a lot of those late 2000's boats were blue (at least we see that color mostly in our waters). I've had single and twin outboards my whole life, but I was very nervous about going to a jet boat. Especially with how everyone says they steer...

welcome to the forum. I'm sure your gonna love the pontoon life. For me, I was just the opposite. I ended up going from a Bennington for 13 years to the jet boat life due to water level conditions and other reasons with water sports etc. What jet boat did you have? Just curious. I am also...

I think you're stuck with the port toon if its gonna be on the back. I have seen a couple videos on you tube where they mounted it between the tow bar mount and the ladder, but I would want the power pole as far away from the ladder and people climbing in and out of the boat as possible. The...

Seems to be in Limp mode for a possible couple of reasons. Low oil flow, overheat, or maybe a bad sensor. Does the motor shake when you hit the 1800rpms? Could be a dead cylinder because of a coil, bad stator. I know you changed fuel filters, but what about a clogged VST or anti siphon...

with that tab being grossly located to the left, that sounds like your issue From Yamaha's engine manual, you need to adjust the fin the direction the boat is pulling Yamaha: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/80...a.html?page=34

I had put mine under the seat bases. 2 on each side up front. I went with blue to go with the factory cupholder, side skirting lights, underwater lights, and bimini top lights. I only used them setting at the dock or setting at anchor on the bay or a canal cruise.

I figured out how the other half lives this past weekend. We had our 2nd annual Saginaw Bay power boat run in Caseville Michigan this weekend. I told my college roommate about it and he committed to bring his brand new Nortech 39' foot center console with quad 500R Mercury racing motors the...

My son got another fantastic opportunity to re-enact a Vietnam event in Indiana and this time he actually got to fly in a Huey helicopter. What happened to the days when us old guys were using sticks or cheap plastic guns to pay war in the neighborhood? HAHAHAH

Yeah, we had this 3 days ago in Mt Clemens. 3 people injured. Lucky it wasn't more. Fueling at fuel dock and rumor has it they didn't run the blower afterwards. Can't confirm that though

Glad you got seats all cleaned up. Starbright, 303 all make great products. Good luck with getting her all ship shape and enjoy the rest of the season with it!

My 18 year old daughter has always wanted to get a pick up truck. She was driving a 2016 Jeep Cherokee for the last 3 years come November (she turn 19 in August) . She saved her money and worked hard and today we came home with a new 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500. All paid for on her own. She's...

I was 12 years old when my dad had his 1st heart attack while duck hunting in a cornfield in 1983. I had gotten a Intellivsion game console for Xmas the year before. While my dad rode his stationary exercise bike for his rehab in the basement of our house, we'd play games for hours on end. B17...

Saw this photo on our Saginaw Bay site. Uggghhhh

Hmmm. Never had a problem with my factory installed underwater lights on the back of both tubes and side skirting LED lights in the 13 years I owned the boat before I sold it.
