Thanks guys, that's some interesting options. I'll stick to my original 2 5 gal jugs as I don't need the extra gas often. I have to figure a way of strapping them to the boat. I have a small battery powered fuel pump that works fine to get the fuel from the plastic jugs to the boat fuel tank.

My small 24 gal fuel tank and 200 Yamaha go through fuel at a rapid pace. So I want to carry some extra fuel say (2) 5 gal plastic fuel jugs. Anybody doing this and how did you and where did you attach the fuel jugs?

I had to replace the port pontoon on my Bene 6 months ago. I just noticed the port red navigation light is not working. I don't know if during the pontoon replacement the wiring to the port light was damaged or even if the wiring to the light goes anywhere near the pontoon. I can't see how to...

Hurricane season is coming to central FL and I need a trailer. I have a 2019 23' SSBXP with the Sports Performance Package and a Yamaha F200XB. It is a tritoon. What kind of trailer do I need for this boat?

Thanks guys, here's an update. The cost to recap and reweld will be about $1000. It will look like a patch job but will be water tight. The insurance company wants me to put a new pontoon on and they'll pay so I'm going that route. $6000 for a new toon with $2500 of that just for shipping.

I'm just wondering if the boat is usable until I can get it repaired. In other words does the pontoon have baffles in such a way that water will not completely flood the pontoon.

yup, hoping insurance will cover it. Just curious if this can be repaired. Sounds like maybe.

As you can see in the picture I've damaged the port pontoon. It looks like the weld separated after a bump on a log in the water. Is this an easy repair or is a total replacement necessary?

Hey Guys, took the Bene out this morning and the engine trim gauge worked normally. Got some gas and noticed on the way back the gauge shows the trim in the down position. I trimmed the engine up and the trim works but the gauge does not. This is a Yamaha F200XB with analog gauges. Suggestions...

We spend summers in Michigan so it would be nice to tow our toon from Florida. But I don't have a trailer for the toon nor do I have a place to store it once I get it. Coupled with the choice of renting a boat during the few times we would use it up in Michigan it probably makes no sense to buy...

I will check for an extension cable. I don't know what a wave shield is.

I may or may not be under warranty. I don't have a trailer so it would be difficult to get to a dealer. Any other suggestions. I don't see any damage to the transducer and all connection at the plotter are secure.

Exactly right, I wasn't planning on driving farther than being able to bring my toon home during a hurricane, so a Ridgeline would probably be OK. But it would be nice to have the option of taking it to some other places so I may have to re-think my Ridgeline choice.

Thanks for that. Looks like I will be near max towing capacity of 5000 lbs when I add a trailer.
