Q: What is the benefit of a tritoon vs. a bitoon?
A: A tritoon offers many benefits, 1 being that you can put higher HP on the boat. Most Bitoons have a max capacity of 115HP. Tritoons do not list side to side in rough water like a one with only 2 toons. Because there is more flotation in the water there is less drag on the boat because it is not sitting as deep in the water.
Q: What are lifting strakes?
A: Lifting strakes are aluminum welded pieces attached to the side of a toon in the shape of a triangle with a flat part of the triangle facing downward. The strakes when under power give the boat more lift out of the water and faster lift to plane than without. Also it will lift the front of the boat so that you are on top of the waves instead of plowing through the waves.
Q: What is the warranty on a Bennington?
A: The warranty is the best in the industry and the industry standard. An easy way to remember the warranty is this… 10 years from the vinyl flooring up and lifetime to the original owner from the decking down including toons and transom.

Popular options include but are not limited to In-floor storage, lighting packages, extended decks, windshields, arches, and of course choice of horsepower.
Q: Why Bennington over the other guys?
A: Bennington is the number 1 boat builder in the world. No one makes more units than them. The quality and construction are second to none. They are the only maker that does not screw their floors to the internal framing. Bennington lock bolts their floors so they can hold up to the vibrations and pounding on the water. Bennington used superior materials and their fit and finish is the best there is. Resale value is another reason because basically everyone wants a Bennington. When I go to the shows I always hear the competition saying “we are just like Bennington” yet you will never hear a Bennington dealer say they are just like anyone else because there is no one else better.
