    Bowrider model

    We have a 25 LTSB Bowrider and absolutely love it. It’s a sweet ride. We have four kids ages 20-28 and can entertain up to 15 ppl. No one cares at all about a front gate or jumping over the seat. I guess coming from a SeaRay we’re used to it. We access the port door and aft deck from our...

    Spring in Michigan

    You bet! Of course…Shanty Creek in Bellaire, MI and now Shorts Brewing Co has really put it on the map. Our family is at the north end of the lake - Eastport, MI. My dad (next door) inspired me to buy a Bennington as he owns and enjoys his too. I don’t know Houghton Lake very well, but we...

    Considering New Bowrider

    As a new owner of 25 LTSB, I think the Bowrider is fantastic! Just curious…Are you boating in a protected area with the ability to wander into the big lake on nice days? If you’re not into top speeds but like the idea of pulling skiers and entertaining up to 15 ppl, it’s a great choice. The...

    Looking for my first pontoon

    I suggest getting to a Bennington showroom or boat show. That way you can walk through and experience the size and layouts you’re considering Great family activity. For example, I knew I liked the Bowrider but initially thought no need for the additional length. The minute we compared the...

    Bowrider with a 250 hp Sho. What an awesome ride

    Yes, please share any general thoughts & performance info as I’m not finding much about the L Bowrider in this forum. Much appreciated. I’m waiting on the Yamaha 250 for 25LTSB before I can close the deal. In the meantime, I can dream. Thanks!

    New Bennington Owner in 2022 - Boat Hoist Questions

    We just purchased a Bennington Bowrider and went with Bulmann Dock & Lift out of Boyne City, MI. Great to work with. Highly recommend based on experience. With either 23 or 25 Bowrider you’ll want a 6K. Worth it!
