When I purchased my 2012 2275 GCW with a Yamaha 150 I had order the 54" ski pylon. I was told that the 46" ski pylon is what I should have so they ordered that one. I just put it in and it looks like it is shorter than the motor (boat is not in water). Is this the wrong height? I do not want the...

I purchased a 2012 2275GCW at the end of last season and just got around to watching the video it came with. The guy in the video says the boat comes with a cooler and a trash can. The cooler he shows is a larger hard case cooler that slides under the helm. The one I got is a small soft case...

At the end of last season I had my boat winterized before putting it into storage. The dealer fogged the engine, put fuel stabilizer in, and changed to oil. No that I am getting ready to put the boat in the water, what maintenance should I be performing? A friend I work with, who has been...

I purchased the 2275 GCW with a Yamaha 150 motor. I ordered the 52" ski pylon. The boat arrived today and I am very excited. It came with the 46" ski pylon. When I asked why I was told that the 52" will not work with this boat. Does anyone know why and if it isn't able to be used then why is it...

Just want to say great job and thank you to Bennington Team, my dealer and all of you out there for your support. Turns out it will be done the week of the 26th. I am so excited again. I know I am going to be really happy, just a little impatient. Thanks again everyone

Thanks everyone. This is going to be my first boat, well first toy ever. Just want it soon.

I am so disappointed. I ordered my boat last month and was told by one dealer that I would get it mid-September. The dealer I ended up buying from said I will get it in September. Earlier in the week I called him to ask if he knew the progress and he said he thinks they should be close to...

I talked with my dealer today. He said that I had received 2011 prices because I had ordered before the 2012 prices came out. What I don't understand though is that apparently there are other things that are standard on the 2012 that I did not have to pay to upgrade but the table, cup holders...

I agree, I wish there was a way to go through all the accessories without having to select a boat and build it. Plus not all the accessories are available in the individual boat selections. For instance, the 2275 GCW does not have the option to upgrade to a cup holder with teak accents. Why...

I live in Shorewood IL. Just west of Joliet.

Can anyone explain to me why in the list of standard features for the 2275 GCW it has the teak table, 2 cup holders, kicker speakers, and the teak wheel with etched center. When I go to build this boat it list those as options or the G value package for the discount. If it's standard then why do...

I was wondering if anyone has opinions on the performance of the two 32" elliptical pontoon upgrade. I ordered a 2275 GCW and upgraded to the 32" ellipticals. I read the other topic in regards to the elliptical being faster then the ESP in a staight line but how drastic is the handling...

I am new to boating and just ordered a 2012 2275 GCW. However, I have now idea where to go when I get it. Any ideas of good boating spots in northern Illinois. I know we have the rivers but I am looking for some good lakes. Northern Illinois, southern wisconsin, northern Indiana?

I talked to my boat dealer and he said it should be fine. He said he has never had one with flat bunks but he said with the trailer guides on it that there should not be any problems. I guess I would have to believe him seeing how he could make some money if I returned this one and bought one...

I ordered a 2012 2275 GCW about two weeks ago. I upgraded to the 32" elliptical pontoons. For whatever reason I decided to purchase the trailer from pontoon stuff instead of buying from the dealer. Pontoon stuff put totally flat bunks on the trailer. They said it was because of the elliptical...
