pelicantooner,
So far mine is doing great. Got about 9 1/2 hours on it including towing a 17ft flat bottom for about a mile to the marina. That will put a different load on the motor to set the rings. You could tell it burned a lot more fuel during that trip, but otherwise it just sips the gas. After the July 4th weekend (extended) I will have my 20 hours and be ready for the first service. I looked at the Bennington too, nice but for the money diff. I chose this one and really like it. (and if mommas happy, everyone happy) She likes the ride and the seating. Everyone in the family seems to be drawn to it.

Nevermind. I stopped by Academy and looked at one. Very flimsy construction.

I have this grill. I too thought it was cheap and flimsy. UNTIL... I made some arms so I could clamp it to the rails. It stiffened it up. It works great! and for the price I could go through 6 of these compared to one Magna. It actually has more grilling surface than the Magne too.

I'll get some pics. Unfortunately when I made the arms I didn't have time to pain them (thought I would get to it "later") needless to say they are rusted until I get a chance to painth them. But I'll get some this weekend for you.

After using the Tracker grill that came with the boat that wasn't wind proof, making BBQing an aggravation, I can tell you my $200 BBQ has more than paid for it's self in enjoyment.
