Bennington 25: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Bennington 2575 QCW is a pontoon boat that distinguishes itself with a retro-styled bow design, diverging from the typical vertical fencing common to many pontoon boats. Bennington emphasizes luxury and quality throughout the vessel, from material selection to construction and performance. This model is designed to accommodate a variety of lake activities, including family outings, watersports, fishing, and evening entertaining.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

A notable feature of the 2575 QCW is its double radius fiberglass bow structure positioned behind an extended bow deck, providing a spacious area for handling docking lines and anchoring equipment—a feature often absent in other pontoon boats. The bow is equipped with large stainless steel corner fixtures housing LED navigation and docking lights. Secure gates provide access to the deck, and beneath the fiberglass cowling on both port and starboard sides, there is dedicated storage ideal for ground tackle. The stern deck measures three feet in length and benefits from the compact design of the Evinrude G2 250HO outboard, which neatly integrates steering components within the engine and tilts up to 81 degrees, enhancing clearance and reducing transom clutter. Sturdy stainless steel handrails and a telescoping swim ladder facilitate boarding, while oversized cleats are designed to avoid catching toes. The optional aluminum and fabric water sports tower offers protection from sun and rain over the helm area and includes a wake tow point and integrated lighted stereo speakers.

Interior Living Spaces and Seating

Seating aboard the 2575 QCW utilizes Bennington's soft-touch upholstery, incorporating five different density foams in the seats and backrests to maximize comfort. Features such as flip-down armrests and removable drink holder dividers enhance passenger convenience, especially when the boat is crowded. Storage is ample, with compartments within the seats and beneath the deck to stow life vests and water toys. An unusual but versatile unattached filler seat can be positioned between the port side and forward gates; it includes a fold-out changing area and can be fitted with an optional portable toilet. On the port side, a swivel chair with upscale upholstery and folding armrests is provided. The helm on the starboard side features an adjustable seat and tilt steering wheel, with engine controls, switches, stereo remote, gauges, and electronics arranged on a wood grain dash. The stereo system is housed within a storage cabinet to protect it from moisture. Two long, wide chaise lounges with armrests, drink holders, and storage beneath flank the helm area, providing comfortable lounging options.

Power and Performance

The test boat was powered by the latest Evinrude G2 E-Tech 250 horsepower high output outboard engine. This powerplant is notable for its integrated hydraulic steering system, which delivers smooth and responsive handling both at speed and during docking maneuvers. The digital shifting mechanism operates fluidly and quietly, contributing to a refined driving experience. The 2575 QCW measures 27 feet 6 inches in length overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches. During testing with a full fuel load and four passengers (estimated test weight 4,928 pounds), the boat achieved a top speed of 45.6 miles per hour at 5,850 RPM, consuming fuel at 22.3 gallons per hour. The most efficient cruising speed was recorded at 16.9 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, with a fuel burn of 6.2 gallons per hour, yielding a range of approximately 123 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the optional 50.1-gallon extended fuel tank. The Evinrude two-stroke engine demonstrated fuel efficiency comparable to many four-stroke engines, operated with reduced noise levels, and reportedly lower emissions.

Conclusion

The Bennington 2575 QCW presents a well-rounded pontoon boat that balances luxury, practical features, and strong performance. Its distinctive retro bow styling, thoughtful deck layout, comfortable and versatile seating arrangements, and efficient high-output outboard engine make it suitable for a wide range of recreational activities on the water. The boat’s handling characteristics and fuel economy further enhance its appeal for those seeking both comfort and capability in a pontoon vessel.
