4-sided anodized welding: 1.25″ rails are serrated for strength and good looks, welded on 4 sides (not 2) and anodized after welding for a superior finish
Reinforced bow radius channels: bow decks and corners are reinforced with a .250″ radius bow channel that supports the heavy-gauge anodized aluminum bow trim. Stronger than bow corner castings, they are less susceptible to damage.
Full-length keels: full length keels protect the tubes in shallow water and improve tracking while underway. Optional solid keels are recommended for use in salt water.
Rail spacers: .25″ rail spacers are placed between the deck and rail allowing easy deck drainage and ventilation to reduce mold and mildew.
M-Deck brackets: extrud
ed (.125″) deck brackets are thicker and stronger than thin sheet aluminum brackets. Our stern deck brackets have 4 points of contact, distributing weight evenly over the end cap, the strongest part of the tube. We space our deck brackets wider and lower than our competitors, greatly reducing the amount of twisting and racking the deck can experience while in rough water.
Deutsch connectors & wiring: all wiring harnesses feature marine grade, waterproof connectors. All under-deck wiring is encased in conduit.
Heavy duty stainless fittings: cleats and s
tern corners are made of stainless steel, providing 3 times the strength of aluminum castings. They won’t pit, corrode or discolor. corner castings, they are less susceptible to damage.
Quick release bimini: tops raise and lower in seconds with our patented quick-release fittings designed to eliminate all rattles.
Rattle-free rails: rail p
anels have a resilient sealing strip to ensure a quiet, rattle-free ride.
Anti-Vibration Process
- Insulated resilient strip applied between all panels and rails
- Insulated resilient strip applied between cross members and decking
- Rails, furniture & console through-bolted to cross members

Maximize Your Experience With One Of Bennington’s Optional Performance Packages, Offering Increased Handling And Maneuverability
ESP: elliptical sport package
ESP offers stability, performance, planing ability and a sharp turn radius for a “banking” turn. Designed with a patented 32″ elliptical center tube and twin performance foils, ESP displaces more water and sits higher in the water for a smooth, dry ride that rivals a fiberglass monohull. Package comes with two 25″ diameter pontoons with performance foils, 32″ center elliptical tube with lifting strakes, SeaStar® hydraulic steering and an underdeck waveshield. We recommend the additional power-assist steering option for engines greater than 150 hp.
- Lifting strakes
- Full length solid keels
- Underdeck wveshield
- Performance foils
Standard performance package
A Bennington performance package provides additional bow lift, planing ability and increased performance. Package includes three 25″ diameter tubes, underdeck waveshield and SeaStar® hydraulic steering. Add lifting strakes for additional speed. Add power steering for engines greater than 150 hp.
- Lifting strakes
- Full length V-Keels (Standard Performance & Express Tube Packages) Full length solid keels (Twin 32″ elliptical pontoons)
- Underdeck waveshield
Twin 32″ elliptical pontoons
Add our exclusive elliptical pontoons plus lifting strakes to your boat for incredible 2-tube performance, easily achieving speeds around 30 mph with as little as 90 – 115 hp*. Each elliptical pontoon adds over 1,000 lbs. of additional buoyancy, allowing the boat to sit higher & run faster. The width of the elliptical pontoons also increases deck stability both fore & aft as well as side to side.
- Lifting strakes
- Full length V-Keels (Standard Performance & Express Tube Packages) full length solid keels (Twin 32″ elliptical pontoons)
- Underdeck waveshield
*Boat speeds vary based on load, water conditions, passengers, etc.
Express tube package
The express tube package offers increased bow lift and moderately increased speed and maneuverability as an affordable alternative to a full-fledged performance package. Package includes a modified center tube and modified waveshield. Add SeaStar® hydraulic steering for engines greater than 115 hp (25″ tubes required).
- Lifting strakes
- Full length V-Keels (Standard Performance & Express Tube Packages) full length solid keels (Twin 32″ elliptical pontoons)
- Underdeck waveshield
Underdeck waveshield
Deflects water from the bottom of the deck, which reduces “surging” and enhances the soft, quiet ride in rough water.
Lifting strakes
Add bow lift, which increases handling across choppy water and improves speed as much as 4.8 miles per hour, depending on engine selection. For optimum performance, llifting strakes are recommended only for engines rated 115 hp or greater and for boats exceeding 30 mph. Lifting strakes are recommended for 90 hp or greater on boats with Twin Elliptical Pontoons.
Seastar® hydraulic steering
Eases steering effort with higher horsepower engines. Expect two-handed handling in hard turns. Recommended for engines rated 115 or greater.
Power-assist hydraulic steering
Power-Assist Steering is powered by an electronically controlled hydraulic pump connected to the SeaStar® system. The electric pump “does the work for you” so the driver can expect incredible handling and turning with little effort. Recommended for engines rated 150 or greater.
