I would go with something like this, where the guide is long to guide you instead of poles sticking up https://www.boatliftanddock.com/product/4612/craftlander-15-pontoon-tritoon-vinyl-guides

ShoreStation makes a Toonrail that works very well. Maybe you can find something similar. It picks the pontoon up from under the deck and has a "motor stop" so you do not pull in to far. Hit the center toon in between the two rails and can't miss after that.

Many of us are running the Turning Point 13.5X15 4 blade prop on the VF115. I tried the 17" 4 blade and it was to much prop for the VF115. Thinking about going to the stainless version of it. I been burning through a aluminum prop every season...

I have a "Bennington by Heritage" trailer ordered that i bought separately from the boat in southern Wi from dealership. It was about $500 more than the caravan trailer. I had it ordered for 24' boat, tritoon bunks and surge brakes on one axle. My current boat is 22 ft.

I have a 2017 Yamaha/Bennington with ~200 hours on it. Original impeller still installed. Thinking about getting it replaced. This will be the 9th summer running it.

what did you think of the cover? I like the ratchet straps on the bottom. Your bracing looks good and should last as long as you own the boat. I figure to get 4-5 seasons out of the cover. I also noticed you removed your canopy and its frame. What you do with that?

i ordered up also.. it gives you more length from front to back not side to side. I also have the tow bar. if you look at my pictures, first pole is at the front gate. That was fine in my winter picture when we got 18" of snow. The rear is where i to need lengthen the support for the better...

No, but i never had at the farm before either.. knocking on wood. If I go over the motor, large hole on the underside they could get into shaped like a triangle. So I do not use the cover to go over the motor. The rest is ratchet down tight under the deck beside the transom. That would be the...

Hey... I was out of town but yeah. Going to use the cover again with some modifications to my frame. The pole height are currently 4ft high, maybe change to shorten them again to 3 1/2 feet tall. I want to be able to cover my top in the rear. Also the ridge board is a 12' 2x4, going to change...

here is a link to my thread and what i did. I am in Wisconsin. Got any questions on material and what i do, just message me. Start from the top of my post and work your way down. I have many pictures in it...

Just a FYI - many of us on here are running the Turning Point 13.5x15 4 blade with a Yamaha 115. If you do not like your new prop, suggest you try the 4 blade. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVINAX6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Can you turn the canopy 90 degrees and park parallel to the shoreline? That way the water level change is only over 8.5' compared to the length of your pontoon.. Just a thought

cheapest i found it : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVINAX6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hub needed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013O0J5S/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A2F8QH83YSA2LG&th=1&psc=1

i have a 2017 21SLX with Express toon package and VF115 motor 32mph @6.2k RPM w/ Yamaha stainless (14 x 13) on it. Current Prop: 30mph @6k RPM W/ Turning Point 4 blade (13.5 x 15). It planes out faster and jumps out of the water sooner. w/6 people on board, only 22mph but it still felt good...
