2014 Bennington Pontoon - set for crappie!

Guys I think I am going to sell my pontoon and opt for a smaller boat. We are thinking about selling the place at High Rock and will then need to haul the boat everywhere to fish. I miss my deep V crestliner so may go back that way. This pontoon is set up right. I have a remote controlled Minn Kota V2 up front with battery and charger installed. It has several stainless steel dual rod holders around the boat. I also had Gene make me two custom mounts for the back rail so I can mount two of the millennium rod holders on them. I can pull 8 rods right off the back when pulling jugs or crank baits. It is a Bennington 22SSX . That is the 22 footer with the fishing station in the back for dad and the full couch seats up front for mom. It has a yamaha 115 hp with I think less than 200 hours. It also has the optional extra large live well console installed in the rear with a 35 gallon live well along with the smaller live well on the back. It has the privacy pop-up enclosure for changing or using the porta-potty. It came with a small fish finder in the console but I mounted a hook 9 with gps and di on the console as well. Also comes with play pen complete cover and dual axle galvanized trailer. This boat is $45,000 new. I drove 6 hours to buy this one because I wanted the large live well option and it is hard to find. Will take pay-off of $23,500. The only other one that I found on craigslist was $26,500 and only had a 60 hp motor. Nada value list value at $32,400 and low retail at $26K and high retail at $29.6K. Shoot me a cell number if interested and I will text pics. It is black with tan interior. Really nice boat.

Pictures will help sell it..................
Easier way to post pictures from your computer.
You can change your "Setting" (upper right corner) to use the WYSIWYG editor which allows you to more quickly upload pics.

Go to: "Setting" (upper right corner)
Click on "General Settings" (left side, middle of My Settings box)
Go to bottom of page and select:

• Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

Then after you have changed your settings here is what you do ,go make a post......at the upper left of your post window there are some icons run your curser over them the square looking one should say Insert Image

instructions for posting pics............
First you have to click on the "insert image" icon. It is located between the "unlink" icon (that has a red x on it) and the "insert video" icon (that looks like a film strip). These icons are located just above where you type in the quick reply area. Once you click on "insert image", then the box pops up that has the words "insert image" at the top, as the title. Just under the words "insert image" at the top are 2 tabs (choices). One tab is "my computer" and next to it is a tab that says "From URL". It the picture is on your computer, make sure and click on the "my computer" tab (if should turn grey if selected) Then in the bottom right of that box are the words "basic uploader". Click on those words and then click on the "choose file" button that shows up. Then select your pic, click open....then click upload....give it a minute...then click submit.

Polkton about an hour east of charlotte N.C.

Nice looking toon and price is fair for sure. Looks real comfortable for family fun as well as fishing.

It has been really nice for the family, but wife wants to fish other lakes so going back to a smaller boat. Will miss all the room.

I need to contact Gene for those custom rail mounts. I'm in the process of rigging my Bennington Pontoon for crappie fishing. Would you happen to have any close up pics of the rod holders?

I will take some tomorrow.

Here is the brackets
