Hello all,
Finally found a Bennington within my budget. As a multiple previous boat owner had seen the GCW a buddy had and found a used one - had wanted the tritoon. But couldn't find at the time a toon I liked for under 30k or it was underpowered - found mine for 27k no trailer with 150 hours
2011 GCW Pontoon with strakes and 150 Yamaha four stroke
I usually buy my boats used from individuals, but this one was with dealer A Bennington Dealer and a 2016 just like mine tritoon is listed for 60k so that was not an option
Ok my questions.
Dealer told me it was under skinned and it is not - after the weather warmed I swam under boat last week and no skin Do I have recourse with Dealer and how hard should I push this?
2nd, I asked the Sales guy to add a Stainless prop and he did for cash on the side Picked up the performance I was looking for but get this, with less than 8 hours I spun a hub under easy operating conditions without a doubt not hitting any structures What should I do about this, a spun hub on new Yamaha Relliance prop?
3rd, after market 3rd toon - should I add the toon? If so, anyone done this and how much $. Did you get added performance? As of now boat his 39 mph GPS
Thank you in advance for replies!
