One of the key attractions in the boating world in 2023 is sure to be the Bennington Pontoon Boat S Series 168SLSPS. Renowned boat maker, Bennington Pontoon Boats, has outdone themselves with this model, melding style, comfort, and functionality into a stunning package. As a boat enthusiast, I must mention; this includes a delightful assortment of standard equipment that sets it apart in the pontoon boat category.
Speaking from an interior standpoint, the series is significantly upgraded with Simtex Vinyl Upholstery and Two-Tone Vinyl Furniture. The furniture layout ensures that the boat provides excellent space without compromising comfort. The deluxe Flush-Mount Speakers, and all-in-one Kicker Stereo System (KMC45), are part of the upscale package for those audiophiles who never compromise on their musical experience, even on the waters.
A practical feature, particularly for long journeys, is the inclusion of a bamboo vinyl floor covering and a soft-sided bag cooler. Furthermore, the series also caters to anglers with two fishing seats and Bow Livewell complete with a Starboard Lid. Finally, the Pure-Comfort Reclining Helm Chair with Integrated Headrest assures pleasant relaxation when out on the water.
For the exterior, the 23" Pontoons stand out with a crystal cap logo. The underdeck spray deflectors, deep-step stern boarding ladder, and full-height panels further accentuate the boat's sleek exterior. Moreover, the convenience of a quick release 10' Bimini Top integrated with a Surlast embroidered boot brings an added blend of luxury and practicality, complemented by an aesthetically pleasing S Series Streamline Rail System.
Furthermore, the modern one-piece fiberglass console incorporated into this series featuring a 12-volt receptacle, and console courtesy light, contributes to a seamless and efficient user interface.
