New Bennington owner in MN

#1 Post by appaloosa » Tue Apr 28, 2015 6:44 am

Would like to say hello to everyone! I have enjoyed reading through the topics on this forum for several months, and decided it was time to join up. Ordered a pair of EZfenders the same day I joined; got them already, excellent service! We are having our new Bennington delivered to the lake tomorrow, so we're very excited to get on the water. This is the first pontoon that my wife and I have owned. Her parents have had an older pontoon at the lake cabin for the last 10 years, but this year we decided to upgrade to something more comfortable and reliable. Looking forward to spending a lot of time on the water with our 10yr old son and the rest of the family, bass fishing and cruising. Here's how we got the boat rigged:

2015 Bennington 21SLX
Matador red
90hp Yamaha
Sea Legs
Live well under lounge seat
extended aft deck
ski tow bar
Vexilar FL-18 fish locator

Edit: added some pics from the first time out yesterday
