Having a new home built in Tellico Village. We are in market for new 22-24 triton. Looking at Bennington and G-3. Any advise much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Bennington without a doubt! I even know where a mint used one is! Haha
It wouldnt take you long to sell your boat down here in the States.......
Cant believe it hasn't sold yet.......
As you go into fall, you will have much more leverage; particularly in northern areas where boating is winding down. The rule of thumb others shared with me last year was 15-20% of msrp or shop around - someone will come to that range. Higher end models, even more. I was also told don't be shy shopping around trying to push to the 20-25% off msrp in the Oct-Dec. stretch.
We timed up our purchase/order at the end of last fall. We got fall clearance discounts combined with upcoming winter boat show discounts on any new orders last December through our dealer.
We also had another boat at another dealership we had a hold on that also lent unintended leverage to our Bennington order negotiations. We ended up SIGNFICANTLY higher than 20% off msrp on an premium s-series order, but it involved a lot of patience (4-5 months of savey shopping/looking, good negotiations, great dealer, dealing directly with the sales manager and not a floor salesman, and luck with two special offers.
If you have multiple dealers you can shop around at, I would not consider any deal this fall that is not 15% or more off msrp.
Look at the quality and warranty between the two. Resale is also a huge factor. A couple has a G3 on our lake and it looks very cheap. There is that old saying "you get what you pay for"
