A Review of the 2023 Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 23RFBA
Looking for an experience of pure comfort and luxury on the water? The 2023 Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 23RFBA, offered by Bennington Marine, might just be your perfect match. As an enthusiast for pontoon boats, this model caught my attention due to its meticulously crafted design and feature-rich interior. I am thrilled to share my take on this beauty for those seeking their next investment in boating leisure.
The R Series 23RFBA truly defines the concept of spacious relaxation and boating convenience. Once you step inside, you will be greeted with lavish interior features that sets it apart. From portable armrests with 2 cup holders adorned with Zebrawood Slate Trim to two wide berth chaise lounges perfectly designed for an afternoon siesta, every detail has been thought through to provide an unmatched level of comfort.
One of the standout features is the restyled V2 Pure Comfort Reclining Captains Chair- a testament to Bennington's craftsmanship and understanding of what true boating luxury means. Importantly, it caters to your need for practicality with an integrated self-draining bench seat cooler and Simtex Vinyl Upholstery for ease of cleaning.
Never running low on power is an absolute guarantee, thanks to the 2 USB charge station, including a quick charge 3.0 and a USB-C port. It also features a wireless phone charger in the starboard bow bench chaise arm.
For those concerned about safety, the boat is outfitted with a fire extinguisher, and the seating hinges are powder-coated to ensure durability and safety in harsh marine conditions. And, it has a privacy enclosure in the starboard stern lounge to provide that much-needed private space.
Bennington makes a resounding statement of high-quality and craftsmanship in its exterior design as well. The 2023 model features 25" pontoons and anodized raised rails, a hallmark of durability and strength. It boasts enhanced LED docking lights with stainless steel light housings and a full-length extruded anodized skirting.
Fishing enthusiasts will adore the Striker 4 Fish Graph and sportback CW fiberglass stern with integrated rear-facing speakers which only enhance the boating experience. The console features include an illuminated rocker switches with dash mounted breakers and master power switch, vital for smooth operation.
Undeniably, the R Series 23RFBA combines luxury, comfort, and performance in an impressively designed package. It promises an experience of pure joy and leisure, whether on a casual fishing trip or an entertaining party sail. With a range of smart features and impeccable detailing, it commands a rightful spot on the top choices list for anyone seeking a deluxe pontoon boat.
That said, its hefty MSRP of $96,345 might serve as a consideration for budget-conscious buyers, but given the stellar services it offers, it might just be worth every penny.
The 2023 Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 23RFBA, in my opinion, is not just a boat- it's an experience of a lifetime that every boating lover needs to witness.

The See Dealer Cost Story
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,
