Welcome MQTN, I'm on the other end of the state at Pickwick Lake on the Tennessee river. Enjoy that new boat and keep up with the forum. There is a lot of great information here.

I can relate to Landscaper2009 and Spoiledrotten, I am 75 and my wife is 65 and I have often reminded her that I was in the army making the country safe so she could go to elementary school safely. Always thing young thoughts and do young things. I am scared of rocking chairs and front...

75...........have to agree with Link and Mattb, I always feel younger when I step on the boat.

Thanks for the birthday wishes........I am planning to have a lot more. Roy

I have to agree, even though I haven't been to LC or NL.  We bought our Benny from the dealer just a few miles from Dale Hollow and he took us there for our initial ride and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Roy

Great idea.  Our lake grocery windows are a great place for local information and last summer I noticed a sign in the window for free pontoon boat rides at the state park hotel dock.  I didn't think much about it, but the next weekend instead of taking lunch out on the boat we drove the boat to...

Early in the summer I called Bennington when everyone was talking about the extended warranty, I missed it by 3 months I think.  However while I had someone on the phone I asked about my seat and was told that since my boat was still under warranty they would send me a new slide and to send them...

I agree with Link, A good carpet installer should have no problem installing around the furniture and leave you with a professional carpet job. I like my carpet.  Other surfaces get extremely hot in the sun, Carpet takes a little more to care for, but in the end I would replace mine with more...

We had a this discussion in 2013. I had a gauge fog up on my 2012 2275GCW and called my dealer and he immediately got a replacement for me.  When I posed the question back then the comments were mostly the same as now and most agreed there wasn't a cure and Bennington was not going to continue...

Just to clarify, that is $48 above basic towing to get unlimited towing. But still worth it, I love those things that I can automate and put in the do not worry box. Roy

After hearing a couple of horror stories about having towing insurance, and realizing that what I had would be too little too late. I logged on and upgraded to unlimited towing with BoatUS for $48/ year.  Another thing I don't have to worry about.

Has anyone seen an aftermarket in floor storage unit?

I'm 74 and tubed with our 5 year old granddaughter the last two summers.  Couldn't ski due to hand disease which caused my fingers to permanently close on my left hand and I thought it would be too hard coming up with one hand. Had hand surgery Tuesday, hope to ski after I complete my rehab...

Stan, there are about 4 places you can get the flag, just google Vol Navy flag and they will show up.  There is also one at the bottom of the lake at the beginning of the no wake zone going into Aqua Yacht harbor that we lost.  We have a house just off of YMCA and have plans are to start...

Congratulations..........you are in for some great times.  I bought my first pontoon at 65 then upgraded to a Bennington at 70 (2012 2275 GCW).  Nothing old about either one, but in that short time we have had some great times with our family and friends. Roy
