Hi All
I'm coming off 11 years with owing a 25' Offshore center console and moving into a more family friendly boat for the kids.
Just ordered a new 2011 Bennington 2275RCW. Went with the 2 32" elliptical tubes, lifting strakes,underwaeter splash shield, rough water package, dual batteries with switch, fuel water seperator, underwater LED lights, elevated helm, color gps, LED cupholder lights, R limited amenity package (includes stainless steel rubrail, bimini top LED lights, and upgraded speakers), and ski pylon.
Went with Merlot as main color with Sand Palm flooing, and Java soft touch vinyls. Motor is 150hp Merc Opti-Max with hyd steering.
This will be my first pontoon boat. Always had mono hull center consoles or walkarounds. My dad had pontoons when I was a kid. These things sure don't remind me anything of those boats back in the 70's!!!!
Supposed to be here sometime in June.
Going to be a long couple of months.
I will be looking for advice from others. Couldn't find much on the 32" elliptical pontoons on the internet. Salesman said this was the first one he has sold with the 32's. Most are either base 25's or ESP package. Saw a performance report on Bennington's website that showed a 2274GLi with the 32" logs with a 150hp Yamaha 4 strroke that an 40.9mph with 2 people aboard. Not sure how accurate that is, but that would be impressive if true
Thanks
Todd
