The world of pontoon boats has evolved immensely over the years, with innovative designs and state-of-the-art features now being par for the course. As an ardent boating enthusiast, it is my honor to review the 2023 Bennington Pontoon Boat QX Series 25QXSBA, another exceptional addition to Bennington's renowned fleet of pontoon boats.
Right off the bat, this pontoon boat blends functionality and aesthetics seamlessly, using stainless steel and woodgrain accents throughout the interior that nod to its robustness and finesse. Creating a potent concoction of comfort and practicality, it features a convenient portable armrest with two cupholders, wireless phone charger in the starboard bow bench chaise arm, and Simtex vinyl upholstery ensuring durability and easy maintenance.
Boating aficionados will also appreciate the Q Bow storage doors, a vital feature, providing ample storage on the water. Not to forget the RGB lighted Kicker speakers that are sure to set the mood for an enjoyable evening on the water. The bamboo vinyl flooring further accentuates the boat's slick interior design while ensuring easy clean-up after your day’s adventure.
The QX Series 25QXSBA truly sets itself apart with captivating exterior features like a fiberglass compound radius bow, pop-up cleats, extended aft deck, and the full-length extruded anodized skirting. The anodized raised rails and the stainless steel stern gate and rails deliver an air of elegance to this beautiful boat.
As for console features, the one-piece fiberglass body integrated with starboard bow chaise lounge is striking. With an illuminated rocker switch panel, recessed wireless phone charger, and Simrad Go7 Display, the boat's technological prowess is unquestionable.
This 2023 model has excellent performance indicators - a fuel capacity of 35.2 gallons, a maximum horsepower of 450 HP, and a length overall of 28 feet, making it a tough contender in the space of pontoon boats. It offers comfortable person capacity on various packages, with the ESP Performance and ESP Plus package accommodating up to 15 persons.
The MSRP sits at $139,470, albeit seeming hefty, it delivers value for every dollar spent. It offers a memorable boating experience, incorporating luxury and comfort, making it a fantastic investment for any avid boating enthusiast.
Based purely on its specifications and offerings, the 2023 Bennington Pontoon Boat QX Series 25QXSBA is a galvanizing blend of style, comfort, function, and power. Created with the discerning boat enthusiast in mind, this boat is a distinctly-capable luxury marvel ready to conquer the open water.
