New 2023 Bennington LX Sport

Now that I think of it (I haven't seen it for 4 1/2 months ) Mine has Snaps on the Bow and Stern ,Clips on Port and Starboard.

I saw an lx sport at the boat show in Birmingham, Alabama. The reason for the snaps is that the aluminum skin below the snaps is on the outside of the tubing. So, only the side is available. Therefore only snaps can be used.

Winner right here - now looking more closely at the panels there is a much more flush design (looks great) but can't use the clips as a result. Great call LL

I really hope they will update the helm designs in the near future. I love my Benny, but some of the other brands(including cheaper brands) have really nice modern helms that make mine look dated. It would also be nice to make the helm dash more friendly to aftermarket modifications. I like how many center console style boats have a black acrylic panel to which you have the ability to install various gauges and garmin screens.
