Hi everyone,
I am new here, and we are about to purchase our first Bennington. We live on a lake that has a lot of them, and it's time to take the plunge so to speak. I started out looking for a used SXP and am now hearing about the new L series. I would love to hear candid input from anyone who has been on the new L's. Worth it? What is better? What is worse? L vs LX? I can't find a lot of information about the 2021's yet. I am open to hearing all advice from anyone about anything. I have been reading this forum and so appreciate the sage advice. We are about as typical of a profile as it can get. Family with kids and a grandma. Tubing, skiing, cocktail sunset cruises... So far, I am confident I need: likely 23', at least 150hp and probably 200, SPS (do I need +?), hydraulic power steering (for sure). I like the dinette option with the table, as eating seems to be another water sport for us, and we are always getting food on the floor of the boat... but have been told that few people buy these. Resale value is important to us, so whatever we buy, we want to be able to resell down the road with as little depreciation as possible. Thanks for any/all comments!
