Thanks.

I wonder if the pylon was not fully seated somehow and stressed a section not intended for the leverage. My pylon was built like a tank.

I am interested to see how you include a magnetic latch. Agee that the original latch could be improved.

I still don’t understand why we don’t see more painted pontoons. In Minnesota, you rarely see an in-painted AL fishing boat. Why would pontoons be different? Just my 2 cents. I had an expensive fishing boat for 20 years and the bottom looked almost new. After one season, I can see...

Very professional looking. I kind of like the color change and contrast!

I would suggest taking it (or pictures with measurements) to a welding shop. A friend had one fabricated out of his existing trailer. They cut the tongue and welded a hinge.

I am sure a few people on this Board will have opinions on the models that support 250 to 300 motors. I have a 150 tritoon and prefer swingback models with dual Captain chairs. Previous had GSR with dual Captain chairs but nice to have everybody facing forward for conversations.

You can get many models with dual captains chairs. Might be helpful if you can share more such as budget and expectations / requirements. Fishing? Lake size? Ocean use? Trailer or slip? The Bennington web site has an excellent resource overview of the models.

Just a suggestion: You might not get much more of a response in this forum given the narrow topic. Maybe try The Hull Truth if you want to additional feedback. https://www.thehulltruth.com

I have Ultra Legs and have never experienced a situation that you described. I could be wrong, but sounds like a very small leak in the pump draining back into the hydraulic reservoir? Is your reservoir at the correct fill height? Might be worth a quick email to Ultra Legs...

I have not heard anything but then again I purchased a “G” a few years ago and last year purchased a “SX”. I believe both were discontinued shortly after I purchased. I focus more on the motor and possible discontinuation but that is just me as a former Evinrude Ficht owner.

In my opinion, the Bennington manual is not worth much and seemed very generic. I believe the toons have chambers. You might have a warranty claim unless the leak was caused by some type of damage. I would check with a dealer, especially if you are the original owner.

They look great. How long did they stay looking like that?

I believe the 150 manual recommends fuel injector cleaner, specifically their Yamaha Yamalube Ring Free product

They also make a blue tooth plug in module that will allow you to use your phone as a remote. I would look for a dealer in your area.
