Bennington Marine, a well-acknowledged premium pontoon boat manufacturer, has once again set the bar high with the release of their 2022 Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 28 RSBA X1. This state-of-the-art pontoon boat demonstrates a perfect marriage of luxurious amenities, superior craftsmanship, and underpinning performance - embodying the essential elements that both casual boaters and seasoned mariners look for in a pontoon boat.
Upon stepping into this pontoon boat, you will immediately see the high level of interior refinement. It boasts (2) portable cupholders accentuated by Zebrawood Slate Trim and side mesh pockets, a self-draining bench seat cooler, a restyled V2 Pure Comfort Reclining Captains Chair, and many other proprietary features that would impress even the choosiest boaters. An attention to detail is apparent in the use of stainless steel and wood grain accents throughout the interior. In addition, the Simtex Vinyl Upholstery and two-tone vinyl furniture radiate an air of opulence.
Turning to practicalities, the boat comes with a USB charge station equipped with a quick charge 3.0 and a USB-C port alongside a wireless phone charger in the starboard bow bench chaise arm. No more worrying about your devices running out of battery during your sea journey.
But Bennington doesn’t stop at just the interiors. The exteriors of this pontoon boat are just as thoughtfully designed. The boat exhibits enhanced LED docking lights with stainless steel light housings, extended aft deck with a wide tread telescoping ladder for easy access, full length extruded anodized skirting, heavy-duty rub rail, among others. Special mention must be made of the streamlined rail system and the stainless steel stern gate and rails, adding an extra oomph to the whole design.
If performance matters as much to you as luxury, then the 2022 Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 28 RSBA X1 shines in this aspect as well. The pontoon boat is powered by a single outbound engine that runs on gasoline, has an impressive fuel capacity of 83.42, and has room to accommodate 20 people, making it perfect for large gatherings or family outings. The boat's hull weight stands at 4,680 lbs, and its maximum horsepower capacity is 450 HP, showcasing its robust build and high power capacity.
With a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $130,134 and an invoice price of $104,107, the 2022 Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 28 RSBA X1 falls in the higher range of the price spectrum. However, given its high-end features, top-tier performance, and luxurious experience it offers, the price point can be justified.
To sum up, the 2022 Bennington Pontoon Boat R Series 28 RSBA X1 is a testament to Bennington Marine's commitment to crafting the perfect boat experience. With every minute detail taken care of, this pontoon boat is a truly awe-inspiring offering that blends luxury, functionality, and performance seamlessly.

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
