Our New 24' Bennington Purchase Details...
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2017 6:00 am
Hello Everyone. We are just waiting for ice to melt, and spring to roll into Northern Michigan so we can put our new 2017 Bennington in the water. Maybe there is a thread for posting new boat orders, but I didn't catch it. I thought I would post my specs now, and pictures when the boat is in the water in the spring.
We are excited to be getting our first boat, and getting one that we think will serve all our long term needs - and be great when we have company up to our cottage!
Specific Boat Specs On Our 2017 Boat Order:
24' S-series premium package (with all the associated upgrades) with the swing back layout and extended aft deck
Blackout edition (with all associated aesthetic upgrades)
Smokey granite panels, with black accent
Swingback stainless steel railkeeper
SPS tritoon package (with all the associated features)
200hp Mercury Verado Engine, Mercury Verado DTS with power steering
Rough water package, lifting strakes, sharkskin clearcoat finish on tubes
Heavy duty rub rails, black rub rail insert, and under body wave shield
Stainless steel housing LED dock lights, bow and aft pop up stainless steel cleats and stainless steel corner protectors
Dual Battery and switches
Simrad GPS G05
Kicker KMC10, Swingback stern lighted speaker and grill upgrade, swingback stereo remote, RGB lighted kicker speakers
RGB lighting and switch panel, RGB toe, cup holder, and exterior side illumination/lighting
Bimini top electric curved with white ice LED lighting, midnight black canvas
Pillow diamond pressed upholstery, Napa beige with Tuscan dune accents, and beige seagrass flooring
Elevated helm with G series reclining captains chair, steering wheel upgrade with piano black accents
Giant turbo swing, in floor storage, gray wood interior trims and aft rectanglular table
Bow gate seat, 3 additional portable cup holders
My wife, family and friends, with upgraded sunshine and clear water package
There is a fair amount of other upgrades I have not listed that are part of the SPS package, blackout package, and premium upgrade package.
Probably the only thing I really would like, but wasn't able to get on the Bennington (as it would have been on some other manufacturers in this price range) would be a larger fuel tank. That would be really nice, but I'd have to go up to a totally different and more expensive package for that in a Bennington, or switch to a different manufacturer. Sigh...
Practically the only option we didn't add in was getting an actual R or G-series with an ESP package and a 250-300 hp Mercury. Those fine boats and motors were getting out of our price range - at least with us adding in all of these shiny accessories and upgrades.
