My boat is smokey granite with champagne. Obviously I like the combo. I'll attempt to get a pick posted for you tomorrow
What color to pick- so hard to decide

Spend a day has a blackout that is all black with the bronze accent. It's different but kind of like it......not enough to get rid of our regatta blue/champagne boat though.
Description says black and firecracker but it's looks bronze to me

That is the color combination on the one we have on order: Smokey granite primary, black accent, with the blackout package. Hopefully it will look great with the swingback style.
Sweet. When do you think it will arrive. I would love to see that combination in some real pics! Nice choice...

Not a swingback or blackout, but ours is a Smokey Granite with Black accent RCW. We love the look. It's more obvious contrast out in the sun.

Literally got the email today that it arrived at the dealership up north near our cottage. It will probably be a bit before I have pictures of it out on the water (Michigan isn't boat ready yet with the weather). However, as soon as I can, I'll post up some pics. Hopefully next month...

As you can see from Semperfi. We are happy with a picture of nothing but plastic. As long as we know there is a Bennington underneath we're good!

Well today's the official day to sign the paperwork and add another 10 years of debt ...... LOL! Could have done shorter, but hey it's pretty cheap money. Ended up with best rate from anyone, including both my credit unions, was State Farm Bank. Go figure?
One CU wouldn't budge, other one was still 1/2% higher which was over $1200 over life of loan.
Thats 2-1/2 years of winter storage, 2 years of dock fee, or 10 years of fuel for my 20hp .... :lol:

Congrats officially now! Can't wait to see it unwrapped and I'm the water. Also, I saw panthergirl on the Benny on benningtons Instagram page!

Yup, great picture of the Panthergirl living the Bennington life!! I had that that pic done in a 24"x18" and hanging on our wall at home. Every time I walk down the steps I'm reminded of our lake time! :wub:
... and the fact that she's the Captain.

Forgot to update. Got our 10 year Bennington warranty confirmation, got a 2 year Yamaha extended warranty, and we get a $250 visa gift card for our loan from State Farm! Didn't even know about that till we met to sign at the dealer. Woo Hoo .... :wub:

Everything coming together. My new boat is stranded in Elkhardt, IN while they await one piece of furniture. The boat was built on March 8 but either that part was defective or never came in. The long wait continues. :angry:

So my goodie collection to work on once the boat hits the water.
1. KRC15 remote install (up front?)
2. Kicker PXIRCX install (rear lounger?)
3. Simrad GO5 install
4. Corvina steering wheel
5. Scotty rod holder mounts
What else to add ...... hmmmmm.
