Hello there. I'm looking at a Bennington Saltwater 23SFBCXP 23' tritoon. My first run at a tritoon type boat and have to restructure my lift from a V hull type to a tube type boat. Question; do I need three bunks to equalize the weight on each tube or just the two outer tubes. Also I'd like the build list for this particular toon and the seller doesn't know much about the specifications. Where can I get a copy, if they publish those. I have an email request in to Bennington but so far no response. thx

Here is the phone number for Bennington 888 906 2628. Have your Hull ID if you call .
You may get mixed opinions but I would add a center bunk , your motor is hanging off that center toon . Also did you transfer the balance of your warranty at an authorized Bennington dealer?

Do not know what you mean by a ‘build list’. I doubt Bennington would understand that term. A parts list would be proprietary information. Pontoon boats are primarily 102” wide. Bunk centerline spacing required is simply the width of the boat (102”) minus the width of one outside tube. Bennington has two tube shapes. The round tube is 25” wide (diameter) and the fat tube is 32” wide. Hope this helps.

I believe he is referring to a build sheet for his toon.

You want to ask for your build sheet. You will need the Hull ID as Jack mentioned. Any Bennington dealership should be able to get that for you with your build sheet - probably more likely for them to take the time if it’s more local to you and you will use them for service. Otherwise, you can reach out to Bennington directly with the number Jack provided.
Bennington makes a few different tritoon hulls. So you will want to find that out, and it will be part of the build sheet. It will include standard features as well as any options that were added to the boat. Finally, as Jack mentioned, it has a transferable warranty. This must be transferred by a licensed Bennington dealership. Very worthwhile to do since it is such a good warranty. I think it cost $50 to transfer it to yourself…the new owner.
Enjoy your summer ahead with the boat.

Jeff unless it was changed there is no cost to transfer the Bennington warranty, but there is on the motor warranty if applicable. I have heard of some dealers charging because some buyers don't know . None of my previous 3 buyers paid any fee to transfer
