WElcome Jack!

WE boat just down the road from you....well kinda.

That's where I bought mine, but I won't be buying anything from them again. Had an issue with the front gate (it would come open if we hit a rough patch of water or went above about 15 mph) and Bennington confirmed that the wrong height spacers under the fence on one side were causing the problem After several calls to the factory, and over the winter, they finally sent the spacers to Midwest. When I called to schedule them to be installed, the doofus at Midwest said, you'll have to bring the boat to us. If he'd looked at the file he would have seen we didn't buy a trailer. They finally agreed to come to me. I was out of town when they came. Instead of putting the right spacers under the fence, these idiots put a spacer under the clip that holds the door closed. So, maybe problem fixed to their satisfaction, but certainly not mine. The top of the gate on one side still sticks up and is not flush with the fence closest to it.
I've been so pissed that I still can't call them and tell them they haven't really fixed the problem.
If and when I buy another boat I won't be going to Harrisonville to look for one, regardless of how much I might save.

bassn386 - Sorry to hear of your experience with the dealer. Fortunately, I have not had to deal with them on any kind of boat repairs and hope that my experience is not as bad as yours when I do. The only issue I have had is that my tach was reading way too high when I first used the boat and got to the stage in the breakin process where I could go to WOT it would peg at 7,000rpm very quickly. Through another forum (Bennington Owners Club) I learned that the tach has a switch on the back that must be set accoring to the type of engine you have and I reset the tach and everything is fine now - 750rpm at idle and 5,800rpm at WOT so I did not have to rely on the dealer to fix it.
I would definately get back to them and let them know they did not fix your problem because thaey think they did and I would also let Benningtom know about the issues you are having with the dealer and their boat service.
Good luck
Jack
