When it comes to the watercraft realm, pontoon boats are an absolute staple—distinguished by their large flat decks atop flotation devices (pontoons), these versatile vessels are famed for leisure activities including cruising, fishing, and even water skiing. Their popularity is largely driven by their innate capacity to host a generous number of passengers, making them perfect for gatherings, family outings, or simply social cruising. Among the many manufacturers that saturate this market, Bennington has emerged as a reliable brand, continuously launching versatile lines of pontoon boats that cater to various consumer needs and preferences. One of their latest offerings in this segment, set to make waves in the 2023 waters, is the Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 27RFBWAT2. On assessment, this boat exemplifies immense luxury and high performance, providing a redefined experience that stands above many others in its class.
The R Series 27RFBWAT2 surpasses the standard features typically found in pontoon boats, re-imagining comfort and convenience on board. As indicated in its descriptive notes, it hosts a vast array of amenities including a portable armrest with two cup holders, self-draining bench seat cooler, interior light dimmer, and a luxurious reclining captain's chair. The two-tone vinyl furniture along with Simtex Vinyl Upholstery and powder-coated seat hinges perfectly amalgamate comfort and elegance, while the stainless steel and woodgrain accents are intricately designed to emit an aura of sophistication.
Performance-wise, the boat does not disappoint. Its robust specifications indicate a length of 28 ft. 3 inches, a deck length of 27ft 0.5inch, and a pontoon diameter of 32 inches. Engine configuration is by twin outboard, it is gasoline-fueled and harbors a considerable fuel capacity of 83.42 gallons. It can comfortably hold 15 people, rendering it suitable for sizeable gatherings or large families. It has a maximum HP of 600 and an impressive pontoon gauge of 0.125 inches, facilitating high-end performance on the water.
The R Series 27RFBWAT2 further enhances its allure via an exhaustive list of exterior features that augment usability and aesthetics. It has an extended aft deck, stainless steel cleats, large-radius bow rails, and a deluxe folding open sports arch. The underdeck spray deflectors, sealed transom, and streamlined rail system all enhance the boat's durability and overall performance. Moreover, the addition of enhanced LED docking lights vouches for better visibility, while the large step contoured aluminum ladder contributes to ease of boarding.
Getting into finer details, this pontoon boat flaunts enhanced technology solutions like a Striker 4 Fish Graph, a Rockford Fostgate PMX - 2 All in One Stereo System, and a recessed wireless phone charger. Unquestionably, these features boost its appeal, setting it apart in a market that usually offers less-refined pontoon boats.
The MSRP of the R Series 27RFBWAT2 is $217,686 with an invoice price of $167,618—which, considering its extensive feature list and the luxury synonymous with the Bennington brand, can be seen as a justified investment, particularly for boating enthusiasts who wish to navigate the waters in style and comfort.
In conclusion, the Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 27RFBWAT2 2023 serves as an epitome of luxury, comfort, performance, and sophistication in the realm of pontoon watercraft. It presents an intelligent blend of innovative features and high-grade materials that ensure an immersive, high-performance boating experience.

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
