I'm new to a pontoon, but not new to boating by any stretch. Double digit number of boats in my personal history books. From wave runners, through a 16 footer all the way up to a 43' cruiser. I don't have many questions after all the years and all those boats. But I can maybe add a thing or two.
Our boat is a Bennington 2250GBR TriToon. 2014 model with a 2014 Yamaha 200hp. Every option and max HP. Full sea grass floor. Refrigerator. Bar with fresh water system and sink. Underwater lighting. Exterior lighting. Interior mood lighting (undercounter, cup holders, etc.). Garmin Echo 300. 53" tow pylon. SPS. Rough water package. Full underskin. In floor storage. Wash down system and shower. Power assist hydraulic steering. Pillow top upholstery. 4 step ladder. Raised helm. Wetsounds stereo with sub. Power bimini with lighting. LED docklights. Privacy chaise with porta potti. Heavy duty rub rail. Sharkhide tube protectant. And of course - the blackout edition. All sitting on a very nice heavy-duty Phoenix trailer with a 5,500lb capacity. Other than that - a pretty basic boat.
Much of my boating is on the great lakes, so we looked for a boat that could handle true rough water. Not inland rough water...real rough water. So far, love the boat. We picked up the boat end of July this year, and ticked 93.5 hours on the hour-meter before putting it away last weekend. Great year in my opinion.
So - hi everyone!
