We got our 22-SSX off the floor at our dealer's boat show, but it did not come with an HD rub rail like we would have liked to have. Our dealer checked with Bennington about swapping it out for us, but it was BIG BUCKS to do that because the rail is all integrated as a single unit, so all the...

In your original post you asked if anyone knows the draft for the pontoons, but that is difficult to say with any precision because there are so many variables that determine the draft for your boat. Your Bennington Dealer may be able to get the answer for you. Can't wait to see how this cool...

We really like the awesome versatility of the 22 SSX. This model reminds us of a classic Sport Fisher! To the rear are all of the fishing amenities, plus swim and tow capabilities, while forward there are all of the lounging and cruising comforts. Obviously diverse favorites abound with...

Bennington Specs show a 23SSRCX can take a MAX HP of 150, 175, 200, or 250 depending on the config of your tubes. Your boat lists SPS as MAX HP 175 or 200, while your boat lists SPS-Plus as MAX HP 250. We have a 22SSX-SPS (MAX HP 200) with 150 HP and are still very satisfied with our cruising...

We know people who live in NY ... but none of them have a trailer-boat wider than 8'-6" beam. Regulations for NY look like they can be found on the NY State DOT website. Basically it looks like NY Special Hauling Notice 09-03, Restrictions For Private Boat Owners, indicates the following...

I know there are a bunch of great solutions here, but I would like to add what I know too, since this was very frustrating on our boat when we had to get gas. It finally reached the point where it really needed a solid solution for our 2013 22SSX when it took a combination of the fuel-dock guys...

You guys here are definitely THE BEST ... sorry I missed all this really good stuff back in 2017! Thanks, again, for all your great help. THINK SPRING! :) THANKS!

Thanks for the reply about some caps on Ebay, but I was hoping for details on the specifics of which are the exact ones that work inside the rails of a Bennington from Carl & Suzi who posted about the https://www.mcmaster.com/standard-cap-plugs THANKS!

WOW! ... those plugs look great! After looking at the web site there seems to be all kinds of them ... any details on the specifics of which are the exact ones that work inside the rails of a Bennington? THANKS!

Our rub rail has seen plenty of action entering and exiting our lift, especially with unpredictable winds, so that is a great thing to have for your boat. You might want to check out some of the other good posts here on rub rails like =...

Possibly one of the most handy products has been our Edson Marine Pro-Series Stainless Steel steering wheel Power Knob (#969ST-18). It includes a strap for mounting, and GREATLY improves the flexibility, ease, and speed of maneuvering your boat when docking, especially when having to fight...

For us, a really handy product has been our clamp-on pontoon mirror system from PTM-Edge Water Sports. It works great, plus it easily folds down to not interfere with our boat cover.

There have been multiple threads inquiring about this topic, so thought a single post to make it easy to find mind help. The Springfield Marine Company does make a Stowable Table Base Socket Plug Cover (#2100093) to keep the table socket holes in the deck covered when not in use. Can search...
