I purchased a 2018 23RSB (90 hours on the motor) at the beginning of last season. Mine is a 2 toon , not a tritoon. We love the boat. The warranty was transferred for me at my local Bennington dealer. I have read that the warranty is only transferrable to a second owner. You may want to check...

Definitely BS I bought a 2018 R23 and called my local Bennington dealer they completed the info and sent it to Bennington. I emailed Bennington a week or so after just to confirm that the transfer documentation was submitted and was advised it was all set.

I did a search and didn’t find a concise answer to my question about the master power switch. If I hit the master power switch do I need to turn the dual battery switch to the off position when the boat is not in use?

The new to us Benny. 2018 R23 Swing back with 90 hours in a 115 hp Yamaha. Well it was delivered to my driveway today. Cleaned it went through the manual and struggled with the mooring cover but Semperfi’s video was extremely helpful. Waiting for the dock to be installed then we will get it into...

I know there are quite a few Michigan boaters in here. Any recommendations for a transport /hauler of a Bennington 23R I am buying from a private seller. Need it transported about 120 miles. I have put out a number of requests for quotes, UShip and others. Anything I should stay away from or...

Purchasing from a private owner.

I will be taking delivery of a new to me Benny (2018 R23), my dock isn’t in the water yet How can I store this for a week or so on my driveway (no trailer). Cinder blocks under the pontoons, or can it sit direct on the concrete? Other alternatives?

I’m confused here. I will be taking delivery of my new to me Bennington (R23), no marina gas stations on my lake. So , is it recommended to use Rec Gas from my gas station or just unleaded gas? Not sure what has ethanol or not.

Another Michigan boater and soon to be Bennington owner (Irish Hills area). I will be selling my 108” wide boat lift from my deck boat and looking for a 120” width. The reason I want a lift is the canopy top. I don’t want to be putting that mooring cover on after each use. Kind of seems like a...

Just curious how many put the full boat cover on at the end of the day, even if they keep their boat under a canopy boat lift? How much of a hassle is putting on the cover? Curious to hear your thoughts and experience.

Just a sign of these crazy times. Luxury items have gotten to crazy highs, boats, sports cars, watches, real estate etc. I was looking at a ore owned Bennington fir $55k from a private seller, he told me he had received two offers for over $58k. It’s crazy out there. People aren’t spending money...

I currently have a deck boat and looking to upgrade into a Bennington Pontoon. The boat lift is 108”wide. While it works for my deck boat where the beam is 8’1”, will I be able to squeeze a Bennington with an 8’6” beam, or will I need to upgrade the lift to a 120” width? Is there any way to...

I am new to boating and looking at a used 2018 Bennington 25R series. The seller doesn’t have his original MSRP/spec sheet. Is there a way to look this up and find out what options are on the vessel?
