REaly think about how you are really going to use the boat and how many people will be on it, how fast you want to go (skiing). Consider finding friends and see if they want to upgrade their boat and sell you theirs. You will get a lot of opinions on this site.

It always depends on your docking situation. Remember other than at home you need space on the boat to carry them. I carry raw long ones as Jack shared plus I carry two 18 in round Taylor fenders. They nest real nice between the deck and pontoon and keep the boat away from stuff.

I have the same setup. I understand your concern. However your lower unit on your motor is lower! I would be more worried about that. Also you may want to go slower in shallower water. You more than likely will be raising your motor and just being more careful anyway. One thing to take a look at...

Nice explanation. My boat came with docking lights. I purchased a Goodsmann waterproof rechargeable spotlight which works for docking and seeing other things around docks that are not right in front of you also for finding channel marks at night too. My wife complained that she could not find...

As asked above are you the original owner and is the boat under warranty? Also a Bennington dealer can transfer the remaining warranty to a new owner but offhand I do not know if everything transfers. Are you dealing with an official Bennington dealer or someone that just had a Bennington boat...

Right on I had my 2013 cover replaced under warranty. I purchased the Snapmpress tool by Hoover, expensive but a piece of cake to use I can always sell it. I then sold the boat and bought a new one the new covers are a breeze to install.

I became a member of this community when Bennington extended there Warranty! Our local club is working with our local dealer to offer a free 6 month membership with the purchase of a new boat.

I have been a member for awhile, actually a founding member as Bennington called it. I would have to find my number, and I will take a quick look when I get an E-mail that says See what you have missed. If it is interesting or pertains to me I will view etc. To comment I need to Login. Like...

Sometimes I think we all go to the worst case senecio to attack our issues. I lowered my in the existing slots to the maximum down and everything works fine at all speeds. I will try to split the difference the next time I have an opportunity. I am glad that I di not try to really move it as I...

This is good. Now I can try Anode, transducer, raise it, lower it move it left or right . I have ellipticals along with lifting strakes which I have not seen mentioned. However seeing all the info gives me some things to look at. After all, I can go slow and see I am in shallow water or go fast...

same here, looking below for answer

I was reading in a Boat US magazine about engine failures and one of the points mentioned was that when you first start your motor you should hear the alarms beep which would indicate that they are working and ready to alert you to a failure. I tried that this AM on our boat and nothing happens...

I sold my other Pontoon 2013 which I bought new from my dealer using Craigslist. Got what I paid for it in 2022 when I sold it. You may want to start there. Also see what other boats are selling for on Craigslist and price accordingly.

When it is just sitting or when you are using it?

I was having some difficulty with my front Bimini. I have a 2022 22LX. It seems that the Biminis are slightly different between each model boat. My dealer was most helpful. What I was doing was setting the front trailering struts straight since that is what I thought they should be. However my...
