Get ready to fall in love
with the Bennington 25QXFB.

Relatively new to Australia, if you’re

not familiar with pontoon boats yet,
and Bennington’s luxury performance

vessels in particular, you’re in for
a very pleasant surprise.

ake no mistake, in North America
pontoon boats are everywhere –
they outnumber v-hulls 10 to
one, and there’s hardly a lakeside
cabin or holiday home without
Mat least one secured to its jetty or
marina berth. They’re a common sight on saltwater too.
In Australia and New Zealand, however, they’re relative
newcomers.
Over the last four years or so, we’ve started to catch up
though as people realise just how versatile and fun they
are. “People underestimate them,” says John Potter, Sales
and Operations Manager for Polaris Marine, exclusive
distributors of Bennington across Australia and New
Zealand. “But once they experience one for themselves,
perhaps at a boat show or on the water, they fall in love.
“They have such a broad application. From families
with small kids, who enjoy being able to get out on the
water safely thanks to their high sides, to those with
teenagers, who love to pump up the music and use them
for waterskiing or wakeboarding, they’re the ultimate all-
rounder – they’re just so fun and super cool.”

Pontoon

Pontoon boats like
Bennington’s 25QXFB perfection
are huge in the US,
and are starting to
catch on in Australia
and New Zealand too,
appealing to older and
younger boaters alike.
