Bennington production during COVID

[Mike Bartell]

Hi everyone. I bought a new 2020 in early March and dealer said the build slot I'm in estimates a late April delivery. I've done some online searching and it looks like Polaris has scaled back or temporarily shut down a few Polaris ATV plants, but sounded as if Bennington was still operating on a normal schedule. Have any of you heard if Bennington expects any delays to their April-May schedule at this point? It would be understandable, but I haven't heard. I was planning to call my dealer later today but thought I'd post the Q here as well.

The Bennington web site state’s production was stopped on 3/24 in compliance with Indiana stay at home order, we are also waiting on a new build our date was 3/30 to start the boat.

I believe I read the current plan is to resume April 20. (unless the stay at home order gets extended again)

Has anyone heard if production has resumed and what the expected schedule impact might be?

From what I heard they started back on 4/20, we had a build date of 3/30 they shut down the week before that, just got the word on Tuesday our boat is finished

Congrats! Ours was expected to be delivered at the end of April so I'm now guessing sometime around late May would be realistic.
