I looked at the Premiers and they just didn't do it for me.Bennington has sloped rear deck rail and ski platform that takes away the "boxy" look and seems a little more stylish.
This is a great time to make an offer.....dealers don't want to carry their floor plan through the winter and I'll bet you get get a great boat at cost.
Been searching for a used Bennington. They seem to be a step above most on the others I've see. Goodhue and Hawkins has a 2575LE for sale, I drove it last week, but it seems to have some issues. In fact, when we left the dock, we spun the prop and had to limp back so they could install a new one. It's probably bigger than what I want at an LOA of 27'. Handled nice..tri-toon with 150 HP. WOT made 33/34MPH. Not a lot of used Benningtons for sale in the area.
