Cost of new Bennington is way up

The esp hull that Bennington has would make it hard for me to buy a Barletta, but at this point Barletta has them beat on fit, finish and design.

I had an opportunity to go over a new Barletta with a fine tooth comb a couple years ago. At that time the fit and finish left alot to be desired. Lots of sharp edges on exposed aluminum, furniture fit was mediocre. In their defense, they were very new then, but I was not impressed at all.
 
Before we bought our bennington in 20 we looked at them and they were a 10 out of 10. They all came prerigged and we wanted a engine upgrade and I couldn't opt out of the esp hull once I saw and researched it.

I disagree a on fit and finish, but your right about design, Bennington is behind. As far as seat material quality its Bennington all the way.
 
I just left the dealer 5 minutes ago .It will be a 2021 titled as a 2022 . You can order ,but a big red splash comes up the order page with something to the effect that pricing is not yet available .

Very cool! My uncle would have fought under his command at Tarawa. Years later he was honored to be part of the christening activities of the USS Tarawa LHA-1. His voice can be heard giving a speech on a commemorative record produced for the event. This copy sits in my office.
