We have a 24 Bennington and love it. Had it since 2001. Tritoons give you much more capacity and better nose-diving/deck-swamping protection when everyone seems to be sitting at the bow area. They do have a bit more drag though so it will knock a few mph off the top end, but a tradeoff that I feel is well worth it. The tritoons also allow for more engine weight. Ours is a 130 hp Honda and will do a bit over 30 mph. Plenty for skiing, and we have a ski-tow bar on the stern. More HP means less engine drone for longer cruises. We actually can hardly hear the Honda over the normal bow splash sounds. Bennington, Manitou, Harris/Kayot are all top notch boats.
