That is one beautiful looking boat! I would have to rob a bank but I already am dreaming about a bigger better boat in the future! Please post pics when you get her in the water.

And good luck trying to concentrate today!!!!!

Will get some good ones Saturday. Was so wrapped up cruising, forgot to get some. Wife got some, will try to upload them.

When we picked up this morning, found out the dealer also sold the 2575 GFS they had sitting on lot.

Great day for the dealer, and they deserve it. They are the awesome people !!!

Edit: here's an album link for some pics. http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g219/SEMPERFI8387/2011Bennington%20RLi/

Sweet looking boat! I really like that color, but we went with black. If we ever upgrade, I think I'd go blue.

Just curious what your speed is with the 20 HP. We originally were going to get a slip on a 10 HP limit lake, and I'm just curious.

Thanks.

Originally we were going to go Matador Red, then maybe Blue, then decided on Black. Then this deal came along so Blue it is. Neat thing is the metallic sparkle it has, really sharp.

Speed today, and it was pretty windy was 10.6 mph into the wind. Didn't check it with the wind, but might have gained a mph or two. Our GillGetter would do around 12.5 mph and it weighed around 900 pounds. This weighs around 2300 with motor, plus 1/2 tank of fuel (15+ gallons).

GG had af 6 gallon tank.... :lol:
