A few questions about your Bennington if you dont mind me asking, what engine did you get? What model? How fast have you gotten it? How many people,have you had on it comfortably? How does it handle on really rough days, compared to a v hull bow rider if possible?

Sorry for late response on Vacation.

We have the 350 mag (Merc 300 HP) Duo prop. Model is 2575 QRCW I/O. The boat does 41 to 43 mph. I'm sure if we changed props we would be much faster. Truth be told don't care to much bout that. "Out of the hole" more important to me - Duo prop takes care of that - slalom skiing no problem come to think of it barefoot no problem. The wake for that

We bought the boat and really liked the lines and layout with rear facing lounges. The I/O eliminates the view of the outboard. Much respect here for outboards as I have one on my fishing boat. Someone in this thread talked about missing the V-8 sound well, we talked about this last night at the fireworks. If you have ever been on the aft deck of a cabin cruiser or yacht with single or twin screws while at cruising speed, you know what our boat sounds like. That sometimes out of sinc sound of twins is the best way to describe. Very satisfying for us.

Last night we had 12 people on board very comfortable.

Have been out in rough weather (3 to 4 footers) with no water over bow. I'm coming out of a Deep V 26 foot Wellcraft Scarab. Doesn't handle like the Scarab, but I wouldn't worry any more about bad weather in the 25 Benne in the broads. Although someone with a smaller boat (if your interested) should speak to that.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me. If your interested in a demo feel free to ask.

Good Luck
