As a boating enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for the finest vessels that provide a perfect blend of luxury, practicality, and thrill. This time, my attention was drawn towards the Bennington Pontoon Boat LX Series 24LXPD 2023, a model that truly reverberates with the core values of Bennington Pontoon Boats. I am excited to share my views on this debonair creation through the lens of a reviewer and sailor.
Firstly, I would like to highlight the interior of the boat. The boat features a portable armrest with 2 cupholders, accentuated with zebrawood slate trim and side mesh. An interior light dimmer (excludes console lights) adds an ambient charm to the atmosphere. It is impressive to see the careful incorporation of stainless steel and wood grain accents throughout the boat, creating an air of sophistication that is often missing in similar vessels.
The heart of any pontoon boat is its lounging facility, and I am taken aback by the four wide-berth chaise lounges complete with fold-down armrests and cupholders. Moreover, the use of Simtex Vinyl Upholstery puts its interior a notch above the rest, and it truly resonates with the luxury the brand epitomizes.
Now, let's talk technical. The boat has a commendable fuel capacity of 35.2 gallons, which comes with a 25" Tubes person capacity of 12 people - perfect for a cozy gathering. The boat can reach maximum HP (horsepower) of a whooping 350 HP depending on the chosen performance package.
The exterior aesthetics and construction do not disappoint either. The anodized rails and stainless steel cleats and corner castings look sturdy and elegant. The LED docking lights are housed in stainless steel, adding to the chic appearance. The heavy-duty rub rail and underdeck spray deflectors imply a serious commitment to durability.
But the feature that stands out and deserves mention is the modern hog shear bow rails and furniture. The integration of a V-Hull performance package not only brings style but equips this pontoon for top-notch antics. The on-board fish graph and high-quality stereo system further add to the allure.
In conclusion, the Bennington Pontoon Boat LX Series 24LXPD 2023 stands as a masterstroke in Pontoon Boats category. It delivers an engaging user experience, well-balanced by luxury, comfort, and performance. It has a promising Maximum HP (horsepower) making it ideal for those seeking a thrill without compromising on the comforts. Even from a financial perspective, knowing the dealer cost can help negotiate better. Based on my analysis, I confidently affirm that this boat is worth every cent poured into its creation.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
