If you're out on a cool day, how well do the windshields work that you feel wind protected? Can you sit up straight or do you have to be hunched up to not freeze? We try to get out in the cooler weather, but that wind with not break will freeze a passenger in our current set up.

How fast will it run with the two 300's? Right now I'm leaning to the 27' wide beam QX windshield with rear loungers instead of the swing back. We've had the swingback on the last two boats. It's great, but not sure we'll keep going with that style. Do you think the helmaster was worth the...

It's a hefty price tag, so I'm hoping the dealer can send me to someone who has one to look at. I can get a 30' bowrider with twins for a good bit less, but it may not be as luxurious. We currently have a 25 Q with arch, and it just doesn't have a lot of space for movig through or sitting (the...

Thinking about pricing the 30' Q, 10' wide. Anybody had one our been in one? I've love to hear about experiences with this type boat.

Sorry that happened! Sounds like a nice boat and surprised me you were thinking on upgrading.

I was aware and I used "Bennington" very loosly there as I knew that was the dealer. I should choose my words more carefully :) Anyway I did ask about the prob when I purchased the boat and the response was something about them putting the best prop based on the boat and motor combo from charts...

I never played with the prop or did these calculations - the boat perfomed good enough for us, and would top out above 45 when we needed the speed. I assumed bennington knew the best prop for the boat and equipped it correctly. My new boat has a 300, and it performs much differently than that...

Pictures of the back side.

by it's own weight. if it bounces around while underway I will secure it, but I don't think that will be necessary.

it's been raining all day, so I doubt I'll get those today.

LOL...Nope!

I'll try to do that this afternoon.

I posted this on the Bennington owners page on FB, but thought I would share here. We spend a lot of time "tied up" with other boats, with people constantly walking across the backs of the boat. I have the ski pole out for people to use as support, as the space behind the swingback to walk...

We had the SHO 250 on our last boat, now have the yamaha 300F on our newer boat. The 300 is much quieter than the 250 was, but I never considered the 250 SHO to be super loud. However, it was harder to have a conversation running 25mph with the SHO than it is with the 300.
