My local Bennington dealer (Captain's Choice Marine, Leesville, SC) is showing on their website 53 new Bennington pontoon's in stock for sale (https://www.ccmarine.com/search/condition-New/make-Bennington/). They are showing MSRP and a discounted price on each model.
The first trailer I bought was a used home built "between the toons" trailer made with a scavenged mobile home axle. It had the same shape as a scissors trailer. It just didn't have any mechanism to lower the boat. I paid $650 for it about 30 years ago.
It was very tippy. I was always...
I was curious about the Water Limo banner on the back of the boat. Googled it and see it is a charter boat company. So customers pay to be taken out on their pontoon boats. Would have to think the captains are experienced. Hard to believe they'd do that on purpose to impress their customers.
Sounds like it's going to be a great boat. My only suggestion is to reconsider the black cover. I've had 5 boats and 2 came with black covers. When I replaced them, I went with beige Sunbrella and was happy I did. Much, much cooler inside. The black cover on my 2011 Benny caused damage to...
I don't know exactly. But I will say the bracket with the female part of the bullet connector is removable. I removed mine to drill holes through them for pins that keep the Bimini frame arms from popping loose at inopportune times.
If memory serves, you have to remove the screw and spacer...
A year and a half ago I sold the boat this thread was about. The docking lights on my current 2017 2375 RSB also did not meet my expectations so I added a similar auxiliary docking light to it.
I used a similar, but smaller, bar light from Tractor Supply. The one I used on the former boat was...
I'm Ok with the performance. But would consider a new prop if the payback was there. I run around 4000 RPM almost all of the time and it hurts to know how inefficient this prop is at that speed. Do you think one of the ones you suggested would be a good midrange prop?
Resurrecting this thread because I finally figured out my prop is a 14 1/4 x 15P. The number cast into the hub is ET-14215-R. Previous owner (Hi Tripp) got the boat up to 47 MPH. I haven't gotten it quite that fast, but in all honesty, I rarely wind it out for a top speed run.
According to...
I don't think I'd ever be happy with a generic cover. They don't fit well and it would be next to impossible to get them taut enough to shed water after a big rain. I don't know how you would secure the cover to your floating boat in the slip. They generally have straps that get attached to...
My 2017 model year boat that was delivered in Fall 2016 only had the 5 year warranty (increased to 7 with forum membership). 2017's that delivered in the calendar year 2017 apparently have the 10 year warranty. (I know vikingstaff's 2017 does.)
