2016 2050SSRX first ride

[Evanyj350]

Dropped her in the water last nite for the first time.   Was nervous the 25hp was going to be too slow...    Cruised around the lake at 2000 rpm which is a perfect cocktail cruising speed.  The popped her up to 5500 and she slid right along nice and quick.   Plenty fast for our small lake.   I can see running home in a rainstorm will be nice and quick...

Love the layout of the SSRX.  Tons of seating with 4 places to lean back and take a nap !   Make that six places if you include the two reclining captains chairs

I'd like to see some video of you docking that thing in there! If it was me I'd lose the swim platform at the end and pull right in. Boat looks sweet though!

This was an in-stock boat.   Not my first choice of colors, but it is growing on me.   There are several other newer Benningtons on the lake that are Blue and Red, so this Bronze is definitely different.  Nice in a classy sort of way I think...

Yeah, and it was windy last nite too !   I ended up pulling up perpendicular at the end of the dock and pulling her into place with docklines and a little help from my better half.   Hopefully will come up with a better plan......  Maybe I can learn to park it like the Blues Brothers do....

That's how I parked in my assigned spot in High school and they didn't like it! I had to smooth talk my way out of loosing my parking privilege!

Miles of seating. Love the ostrich print, I would have chosen it too. I would have gone with the faux teak flooring as well. Nice ride you got there!

I was thinking the same thing -- I'd be nervous with the motor so close to the seawall.  


Congrats on the nice boat!!

Your mention of a rainstorm just reminded me of what happened to us last year. There were 4 of us on our neighbors 20 ft. Sweetwater w/a 70 hp on the back. Well of course it started pouring on us! The wind whipped up and it was raining sideways. We started towards home and with 4 of us, a full cooler and some gear........we were screaming along at a whopping "12 mph"!!! We were soaked!

Nice looking boat 


Love the color 


I can't help but notice, no headlights 


Not important if you are a daytime boater only


I live for the nights 


Otherwise 


Be sure to get a 1000000 power spot light for the 12vdc outlet 


Night cruises are amazing 

The spot may come in handy while docking 


Have An Amazing Summer

Night cruises are the BEST! Everything looks better when the lights are dimmed.
