POLARIS OWNS BENNINGTON

[Gidzig]

Hi All -

I recently heard that Polaris now owns Bennington. Any truth to that? Will it create manufacturing and/or quality issues, if that is true?

Thanks

Polaris bought Bennington marine in 2018. Announced it in May, 2018, finalized the purchase in July, 2018.

Yes its true ,almost 8 years ago .
Why would you think it would create issues? Just a new owner of a company.

Polaris is one of the top Jet ski and snow mobile manufacturers also .

Polaris has not made a jetski in over 20 years fyi. Also they were terrible

And they have some great SXS's!

They made my 2020, so far so good. Although I can't compare to a pre-Polaris model, generally newer models look and perform better than models of yore mostly due to newer materials and better manufacturing processes.

I had a Polaris virage pwc and loved it. 1200cc triple two stroke. It was quick for a 2001!

Also had 650’s that were way more stable than sea doos.
