Thanks to both of you. Mine is a 2019, SX, so basic model. I assumed it was just standard vinyl so glad I asked.

Do all Benningtons built after 2017 have Simtex fabric, or is that an upgrade?

I hate to say it but Michigan State is looking ugly (I mean really Ugly). I had early in the year high hopes but it‘s sad and they will get crushed in their next 3 games. Pretty scary line up Coming. It’s not only the injuries but poor coaching. Time to dispense of secondary coachs and line...

yes, I’ve also have one for my four Winns for 10 years now and love em (Got the pontoon in late 18). Up and down in about 10 seconds, and with remote, sit in the chair and and watch it go! remote makes life easier too if you need to raise or lower while at the bow or stern. As my neighbor...

i use this set up for my lift canopy and it works great (for 10 years now on another boat, and now pontoon). First year of the first boat the top of the canopy ended the year white. Not much since (an occasional fly by bombing). Aluminum poles with fishing line (50 pound test lately) between...

will be a perfect day for being out there today! I’ve got a bathroom remodel going on, so am anchored around here. Have fun!

Sorry to hear that. I hope you have better luck the next few days!

Not sure about bass fishing spots Specifically. I believe that record bass was near the entrance to Burt Lake. But you really can‘t fish from your boat there in the river as there is way too much traffic. There are a few bass tourneys on Burt and Mullet each year so I know they are in there...

OK, so I’ve never been on a poker run, but maybe that’s the 4 Ace’s celebration ritual. He “won”!!!,

I had the same idea. Will that keep ice off the lake too? Great idea either way!!

Wow, crazy seeing that. Could also be a clogged, or worn out (forgot to change out) impeller. Overheating can happen pretty quick. I‘ve seen 2 boat fires on inboard/outboard over the last 3 years because of it ( not my boat, but I’m pretty religious about changing the impeller every 3 years...

Awesome idea, pure genius. I’m hungry/thirsty just looking at them!

I don’t believe it can be done well without both a hull design change for weight distribution and more importantly a motor change. The shaft needs to be extended to get the prop further in the water (Unless I suppose you are in always calm water (which I never am)). I think it is an exciting...

+1 on amateur hour comment. It’s been a bit crazy out there. Fireworks tonight and I had to pass because too many of them out on a dark lake. They don’t know what they are doing in the daylight!

We also have the toon rails and love em. Saved us from banging around a few times on windy, wavy days. Set the width of the rails so there’s not much wiggle room on either side. So again on windy days it keeps us away from the poles side rails etc.
