It's all happening so quick.
We needed to sell our boat and order our new one.
Saturday went to our local Bennington/Honda dealer (which is only 5 miles from our lake and house) and picked out our colors and options for our new G2250 triple tube with the 150 Honda.
We placed the order and will pick up our new boat in the spring.
Today (Sunday), a young couple came over to look at our boat.
We took it out to let them put our boat through its paces.
They loved it and bought it.
So as of the 1st. of September we will be without a boat until spring!
Thanks everybody for all the info and help.
Enjoy the winter!

Congrats, that will be a fine combo. Be sure to sign up at Club Bennington site as well. Lots of good information there, specific to Benningtons.

The winter's not going to be too long as we head for Florida for 4
months and our new boat will be ready when we return!

Sound be a fine combo. I have had no trouble whatsoever with my Honda. As someone said, I can't even here it run @ idle. I'm sure the Mercury would be fine also, but you won't regret the Honda, especially with a dealer close by, if something were to happen.
