JohnL ... thanks for the info about the buoys marking the return from the DE bay. That clears up some confusion for me and the markings make more sense now. I'm not clear on exactly where the "mid channel marker" is in IR bay. Is it before you hit the west mouth of the inlet? I think I get what...

Larry, I'm pretty close ... Pot Net's Coveside. Have a dock on a small (shallow in places) canal the runs close to the house. I think you are just a bit West, right? I spend most time in Rehoboth Bay. Hopefully, we'll get some good boat time this coming weekend.

Larry, JohnL ... do you spend much time on Indian River bay ... between the bridge and Paradise? I find the channel markers out of Massey's and heading West on Indian River to be confusing, and there's a big bar on the right going south out of Massey's. Also, was just reading that they are...

Thanks Vikingstaff. It seems really clear that everyone with a tri loves it, and with the 200. I think you are right from what I've heard and read, and from my dealer, that the draw diff between a tri and twin ellip is maybe a couple inches, and its the motor/prop that limits. (BTW, was raised...

I boat on these bays (currently have a fiberglass bottom deckboat) and am likely trading for a new Benny (at Shorts). Am interested in hearing from other who boat on these bays and their experiences with a pontoon -- tri or the twin ellip? The bays are wacky shallow and I'm wondering if its...

On the Benny Build Site, the approx ranges for Yamahas in each size are: 150: $8,400 to $10,500 175: $10,000 to $12,000 200: $14,000 to $16,000

Anyone with a 22" with SPS or that has an opinion about whether a 175 would be decent on a 22" with SPS? It seems that 23" SPS with a 200 is a great combo for satisfying performance. But, the 22" size would be fine for me and so am wondering if the slightly smaller and less expensive engine is a...

Thanks ... helpful perspectives. Can anyone comment on what the Tritoons are like coming out of the hole ... do they nose up more than twins? Or are they still pretty flat?

I'm configuring a new Bennington and this forum has been really helpful. I have a specific question I'm hoping a few people can comment on. Looking at 23' with twin ellip and 150 or SPS Tri with 200. I'll use the boat on a couple bays that have a lot of shallow water. Can anyone comment on...
