Bennington 2275: BoatTEST Review
Overview
Bennington has established a strong reputation over more than seven years for producing award-winning pontoon boats, with the 2275 model standing out as one of their best sellers. This pontoon is recognized for its blend of style, comfort, and performance options, making it a versatile choice for leisure boating.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The 2275 features the new Bahama sand design, which imparts an inviting island aesthetic to the vessel. Its high side panels are adorned with attractive graphics complemented by a Bahama print on the bimini top. Practical additions include docking lights that facilitate nighttime docking and trailer alignment, as well as wide entry gates including a bow gate designed for easy boarding from covered slips. The bow seating area is notably spacious, with lounger back benches that wrap slightly around the bow, providing ample room for guests without crowding. The upholstery continues the Bahama theme with wicker-look edges and twisted piping, enhancing the boat’s cohesive design. Storage is plentiful, with compartments beneath the lounger backs and hinged bench seats.
Cockpit and Helm Station
The cockpit conversation area is arranged as an L-shaped bench extending from the port gate to the stern walk-through, offering comfortable seating for socializing. A removable table can be added without significantly reducing space and stores conveniently within the bench. The helm station is well-appointed, featuring a large console with dark wood accents and a steering wheel, a beverage holder on the right side, and a stereo system positioned to the left. Controls are thoughtfully laid out, with gauges above the wheel and switches protected by circuit breakers. Additional amenities include a 12-volt DC socket for charging portable devices and a sizable storage compartment beneath the helm capable of holding a carry-on cooler.
Private Accommodations and Amenities
The 2275RL variant includes a dedicated changing room, enhancing privacy and convenience on board. The oversized sun pad is expansive and comfortable, equipped with headrests and a port side for lounging. Two cup holders are strategically placed for easy access to beverages. At the stern, a small square swim platform and two large handles assist with boarding from the water via the stern swim ladder, adding to the boat’s user-friendly design.
Power and Performance
This model can accommodate outboard engines up to 115 horsepower as standard, with a 26-gallon fuel tank. Opting for the performance package increases the fuel capacity to 35 gallons and adds a third pontoon tube, allowing for engine upgrades up to 175 horsepower. The 2275 measures 21 feet 11 inches in deck length overall, with a pontoon length of 22 feet and a beam width of 8 feet 6 inches. The standard weight is approximately 1,890 pounds. On-water testing in a freshening breeze on Tampa Bay demonstrated smooth handling and quiet operation from the four-stroke engine. The boat responded well to turns and was easy to maneuver both in docking situations and when trailering, making it accessible for operators of varying experience levels.
Conclusion
Bennington’s 2275RL pontoon boat combines attractive design, comfortable accommodations, and solid performance capabilities. The new Bahama sand aesthetic adds a fresh, island-inspired look, while the thoughtful layout and features enhance usability and enjoyment on the water. Its smooth handling and manageable power options make it a practical choice for a wide range of boaters seeking a reliable and stylish pontoon.
