    S SERIES VS L SERIES vs all others, deck construction

    The fall is an excellent time to order a new Bennington since 2023 pricing will still be in effect and you will be ordering a 2024 boat. I ordered my 2020 23 GSR in October 2019 and spec'ed it out with the ESP hull and a Yamaha 300 with all the extras. I got 2019 pricing and exactly what I...

    Things I would change (formerly Regrets)

    2020 23GFB with 300 Yamaha, ESP hull. I would have added two things: 1) the raised helm left-side goor for access under the helm (thought it was standard, but was an option) since there is absolutely NO storage for phone/wallet/keys other than the tiny "glove box" 2) the powered blackout bimini...

    Enviro Fill Bypass

    I have a 2020 23GFB with a Yamaha 300 and love the boat. First time I tried to add fuel with a 5-gallon can or any type of pump hose- it all came flying back at me.

    Filling gas

    Worth a try for 2 bucks! For me it was a matter of getting the spout far enough in the hole to get past the vent line. Once I used the FloTool tank funnel to extend the 5 gallon can spout, it worked as it should.

    Went to Carquest and they said to try the: FloTool Capless Gas Tank Funnel Worked like a champ, just inserted it in the fill neck and it took fuel from the 5 gallon can without a drop!

    Filling gas

    Called my dealer and he said to use a Shaker Siphon tube since the spout on the 5 gallon can is not long enough to get past the vent tube. Hard to find a long spout for these new fangled 5 gallon cans. What a pain.

    Filling gas

    Add me to the list of Bennington's with a fueling issue! I am trying to add fuel from 5 gallon cans but it keeps coming back out. This is ridiculous for a boat like this. Time to call the dealer.

    YOUR pontoon ideas!

    I AGREE!!!! I just took delivery of my new 2020 23 GFB yesterday and am finding NO PLACE to put my wallet, cell phone, tool kit, etc. The tiny little dash cubby is too small for these items. The fiberglass raised helm side panel has a great place to add a small storage bin, but they did not put...
