Seeker · 03-22-2011, 01:54 PM

I have a Bennington 2075FS I bought new in 2003. Absolutely no problems with it. It has the optional larger logs, bow mounted trolling motor, privacy enclosure, 2 fishing chairs forward and a 50hp 4-stroke Mercury Bigfoot. I've used it well for 8 years and it still looks brand new.

I have this on a smaller lake and would NOT take it to Lake Winnie. Even on my small 1000+ acre lake I can get pretty wet when the wind really kicks up. I would definitely recommend this for calm waters. It does just about 22 with the 50 Merc. It would be underpowered for the big lake. The dog loves it also.

I have a deep v center console I kept on Winnie and I found that more suitable when the weekend warriors arrive.
