Stepping into the world of pontoon boats, one cannot miss the presence of the Bennington Pontoon Boat LX Series 26LXFB. Earlier this month, we took a closer look at this 2023 model, and it was indeed an experience to remember. The rendezvous opened up a melange of advanced aesthetics, superior comfort, and high-performance dynamics that are signature to Bennington's work.
From the first glance, the vessel's commanding exterior is an eye-catcher. Its anodized raised rails, dimensional chrome logos, custom stainless steel cleats, and full-length extruded anodized skirting offering a subtle, classy look. The stainless-steel rub rail, quick release 10' Bimini Top with Surlast Embroidered Boot, and flush bow deck further add to the boat's resplendent charm.
Inside, the boat radiates luxury with its comfortable seating replete with pillow top Q upholstery with diamond stitching, self-draining bench seat cooler, stainless steel and woodgrain accents, and a restyled V2 captain's chair. Two USB charging stations, stereo remote, swanky stainless-steel Corvina steering wheel, swingback stern lounger with privacy cover, and an interior light dimmer reflect thoughtful detailing for enhanced user convenience. Remarkably, the innovative use of bamboo vinyl flooring and Duraframe seat bases accentuates the pontoon's eco-friendly approach to sustainable luxury.
The 26LXFB 2023 model comes equipped with a gas-powered single outboard engine and boasts an impressive fuel capacity of 35.2 gallons. Enjoy long, uninterrupted cruising journeys with its significant 37-gallon total fuel tank, 35.2-gallon usable capacity, and mega pan fuel system.
A mooring capacity of 12 persons and hull weight options make the Bennington Pontoon Boat LX Series 26LXFB 2023 an excellent choice for both family outings and adventurous gatherings. Given its maximum horsepower ranging from 150 to 350 depending on the chosen performance package, it promises an adrenaline-infused ride every time!
While the MSRP currently stands at $71,215, the dealer invoice price is $54,836 — a price point that, considering the vessel's features, amenities, and performance capacity, offers a worthy value-for-money proposition.
In conclusion, with its seamless blend of luxury, performance, and thoughtful design, the Bennington Pontoon Boat LX Series 26LXFB 2023 truly stands out as a class apart in the world of pontoon boats. An embodiment of Bennington's meticulous craftsmanship and visionary innovation, it is definitely a vessel to look forward to in the coming year.
