He took me on a ride. The boat ran better than I thought.  We got up to @ 41mph with 5 people aboard.  Not sure about gear, think it was about 3/4 full tank.  I was surprised how quiet the engine was.  Very smooth.  No rattles.

bump?

So other than having one replaced, no one has had repairs like this made?

I think he said the damage wasn't considered that much.  I think it was the dealer who told him to hold off as this wasn't major and it will get more dinged up; I think the welders min charges are $500, and I think he said it was about $200 in damage if I remember right (I'm getting old). My...

I don't want to speak for him, but I think I remember :wacko:  him saying the scars wouldn't cost that much to fix, and the dealer said the welder had a $500 minimum for aluminum repairs and the dealer said to wait until there were more to get his money's worth.   My guess is at the time, he...

So the scars wouldn't stop you from buying the boat?

I'm kinda mixed on the looks of the fastback.  I'm thinking maybe tie in the panel color in would look better. It costs about $4.5K more than the non fastback version for what 4 cupholders.  The boat comes standard with 4 speakers, to get the rear speakers, you may have to upgrade to the Roswell...

dang Lakeliving, I didn't think about that. :blink:   What say you, Andrew?  Sorry for the Lord of the Rings speak.   The sun is brutal here in the summer, temps can often exceed 115F.  To have to put the bimini out of the way to cook isn't practical.   

That's awesome news.  Thanks Andrew

That's a good idea to cover the posts, so I don't do this.  I'll have to check it out.  Maybe I'll paint the tips with glow in the dark paint.  

How do you get at this plug?  Does it have a schrader valve?  Pictures?

Yeah, he mentioned that he saw a guy at a gas station with a red benny, I asked him if it was a R23 with a blackout and an Evinrude motor.  Small world.   Yeah, the boat is the one pictured, with Landscaper's.  He says it has about 20 hrs on the motor.  We are supposed to take in on the lake...

Hi Folks... The Mrs. and I are considering a used Benny.   The boat has some damage to the toons.  I was told by the current (only) owner (who was very nice and seemed honest) it was done while loading the boat on the trailer @ 10pm late last summer.   Another view: And another: and...

Did you get samples?   If you did, put them in the sun on a hot day.  We should be getting a few warm days before the weekend, I know its not 115.  See if there's a temp difference.  If the sample is large enough step on it in bare feet.  See what feels better.  I've seen a Benny on line with...

Sounds beautiful!  Make sure to post pics. Black and white is awesome.  With the Q you do lose seaingt room compared to the R from the slanted front, plus some optional features on the R are standard on the Q, such as stainless rub rail and pillowtop seating.  With the Q, trading the extra...
