Have you checked out the Premiers from Winnisquam Marine?
When we were shopping we looked at the benningtons/channel as well, while the boat seemed well built, we really were NOT impressed with the sales dept at Channel. I believe that if you are treated like crap before you give them your money you will definately be treated worse after they have your $$$.
In the end we bought from Winnisquam because not only were we really impressed with the Premier, and felt it was a better boat for a better price. (more bang for your buck) But also the entire Staff at Winnisquam was great to deal with before the sale, and has been terrific after the sale as well.
