Trend-setting pontoon boat.
by Ken Kreisler
When it was founded in 1997, Bennington set out to design pontoons that were not only innovative but also provided the kind of attention to detail and quality deserving of the company’s commitment to its owners.
Continuing with that promise, the 24RT Bowrider offers all that Bennington is noted for, with a couple of added extras.
It all begins with strong construction techniques, starting with Bennington’s exclusive THRU-BOLT technology resulting in less flex and a more stable ride; thicker cross channels that add vertical strength; sturdy brackets; as well as full welding methods. With such solid construction, it’s no wonder every build is covered by the company’s factory-backed 10-year bow-to-stern warranty and lifetime deck and hull warranty.
Topsides, the 24RT is all decked out for optimum on-water enjoyment.
“What sets her apart from other pontoon boats is an extremely unique design that places the front of the boat into the tubes,” says Hayden Hall, sales manager for Muskegon, Michigan-based Hall’s Sport Center. “This creates a step-down bow that is 60 inches from the floor to the top of the helm console.”
This Vantage Point Captain’s View design allows the skipper to have an unobstructed view of the seaway ahead while still being able to interact with family and friends. Well-appointed and comfortable seating abounds everywhere onboard whether in the U-shaped lounge forward or aft area, and there are plenty of storage spaces for a wide variety of daily necessities. The center tube design affords in-deck storage as well.
With either the quad bench in the bow or the stern’s swing-back floor plans, a custom arch, and the V-hull performance package allowing for 300-hp outboard power, your time out on the water aboard the RT24 will be maximized for an exciting day.
