I received the email from Bennington this morning and our boat is scheduled to go on line March 24th, so 30 days and counting! :D


We hope to be able to make it to the factory for a tour on that date.
 
Awesome!!

When did you order your Benny, and when does your dealer expect to take delivery? I'm looking forward to seeing pix of your new Benny, looks like it's going to be a beaut!
 
Fantastic! Good luck trying to sleep in the mean time !

We ordered on February 4th and the email from Bennington said it should be at my dealer by March 31st. We will have plenty of pics asap.

Nice! Did the email come from the dealer or directly from Bennington? I sat down with the salesman on the Jan. 28, then made a couple major upgrades a 3 days later. Haven't heard boo since, but the salesman knows it's a long winter. I'm kind of wondering when the cut-off date is to add just a couple more options.  :huh:

 Has emailed Bennington about the factory tour and they responded and told me the estimated build date.

We were able to visit the Mack factory when we built our fire truck. I'd of made the drive to Bennington if I would on known about the tours when we ordered ours. That's just so awesome!!! 
 
Wow, you are lucky. I ordered mine on February 9th, just five days after yours and I just now got a build date. It looks like mine won't be delivered until May. I'm disappointed in the sales rep who assured me it would only take 6 - 8 weeks for delivery.
 
Sorry to hear of the delay! All I can tell you is it's well worth the wait!!
 
Waiting is always the hardest part.  My Benne is at the dealor but we can't commission it until lake levels return to full pool, around April 15.
 
I ordered mine on 1/20/17 and the dealer received it 3/20/17 eight weeks. They were saying 6 weeks but it took 8 and my build date was 3/9/17.


I remember the dealer telling me at the end of February that there were a 12 week wate. Bennington is selling a lot of boats.

Mine was built on March 8th but apparently they're missing one piece of furniture, so I wait. I hope this is not going to be a eight week additional wait because of this as I ordered on January 23rd.

We were lucky with our timing. The weekend we ordered ours the dealer had recieved an email saying to expect 8-10 weeks on orders after that weekend. By the following week he had recieved another email stating 10-12 weeks due to the high volume of sales. Bennington also had a price increase taking effect the following week on the Monday after our order was placed. Hopefully they'll be ahead of schedule and you'll have yours a little sooner than expected. As of yesterday ours is still on track to be built this Friday and supposed to be at our dealer by the next Friday.

That would be harder than the wait on the order for me. I'd be at the dealer every day sitting in it lol. 
 
Just remember if you order now and wait 12 weeks, that's not so bad. We ordered ours in October and can't use it till at least April 1st ..... that's 5 months ....  :D . Then again we ordered in October knowing we would have a slot for March delivery. I was scared though, as we selected the new "G Sport" furniture, and were concerned about the supplier getting it correct.


Remember: All good things come to those who wait.  ;)
 
Congrats and enjoy the new boat!
