I think it is a must-have option. It certainly helps keep the floor free of stuff. Ours currently has:  two sets of skis, wake board, knee board, deflated tube, one large plastic tub with various ski/tub ropes, one large plastic tub with bumpers and ropes, a volleyball, and boat hook.  We leave...

We have a 2250 GSR...we have the bow seat and use it just about every time we go out. I think it does complete a good looking bow seating arrangement. When beaching, we move the bow seat to the side. It's nice to always have the option for another seat. Totally agree on raised helm. Gives a...

We've got the 250 SHO on our 2250 GSR and love it. Very quick for skiing and tubing, while still terrific for slow speed puttering around the lake. I faced the exact same decision and opted for greater displacement. No regrets.

Another vote for full sea grass. We do a lot of tubing, skiing, knee boarding, so the floor is wet most of the time. I wouldn't want carpet. Never had an issue with it being too hot or slippery.

We have the Yamaha 250 SHO. It has great power at the start (hole shot) which was of most importance to me. We were replacing a ski boat and I wanted to make sure the Benny could get me out of the water on a slalom ski. It does that with ease. Also putts around the lake very quietly without...

I don't find the putt putt sound at all offensive on the SHO. I would say it's quite quiet at low speeds.

We have the 250 SHO on our 2250 GSR and absolutely love it. We wanted a boat that could haul lots of folks and still get the old, slightly overweight, man out of the water on one ski. I wasn't so concerned about top speed - much more interested in the hole shot, which is exactly what the SHO...

The key to the in-floor storage is keep the ropes, bumpers, towels, etc., in plastic storage bins. Keeps things dry and organized.

Gotta haves: in-floor storage, largest fuel tank possible, raised helm, full sea grass,Bluetooth stereo, co-captains lounge, power steering Wouldn't buy again: ottoman cooler (rolls around when moving and want the cooler up at the house for loading with ice and drinks, not down at the boat...

We have full seagrass. Love it.

We've got the 2250 GSR with ESP and the Yamaha 250 VMax. It gets me out of the water on one ski with relative ease (for a 190 pound fifty year old dude). We've had the boat for just over a month and have only been out skiing a couple of times so far. The wake is a bit different from a V hull...

BoatUS for us, too. They had better rate and better coverage.

Wife loves the co-captains chair. Makes conversation during cruise much easier. I have to admit that I don't really know the function of the distribution panel. From what I see, I have two batteries, with a switch to use battery 1, battery 2, or both. We love theses grass. Very easy to clean and...

We've got the 2250 GSR with the 250 VMax. I wouldn't want less motor. We hit 45 mph with 4-5 folks on board and full fuel tank. More importantly for me, it has great hole shot for skiing. The VMax on the back of the Benny actually pulls me out of the water on a slalom ski better than our old...

Boys and I are refinishing the deck at the lake house this weekend, but I'm confident we'll spend a good bit of time out on the Benny, as they've got friend coming down. Took them out tubing for the first time last weekend - plenty of power to fling them around pretty good. Hoping to see how it...
