Bennington R Series Pontoons For Sale

The Bennington R Series sits at the upper end of the brand's pontoon range, positioned above the LX line as its ultra high-end family of boats. The lineup offers more than 60 floor plans, including R bow rider models that run from 22 to 25 feet, which puts the Bennington R23 pontoon and the Bennington R25 pontoon among the most-requested sizes. Exterior color configurations expand with upper or lower accents, and dual accents became available for 2021. Buyers can specify three furniture styles, a 10-foot wide beam, windshields, integrated outboard steering, and twin-engine setups, so two Bennington R series pontoon boats of the same length can be built very differently.

Power options span a wide range. Single outboard models are rated up to 450 horsepower, sterndrive models up to 430 horsepower, and twin engines up to 900 horsepower. A common rigging on the 24-foot RTSB pairs a Yamaha 4.2-liter 300-horsepower V6 with a Triton three-tube hull, a combination that reaches speeds in excess of 40 mph while cruising comfortably around 20 mph. The ESP package uses an elliptical sport tube measuring 32 inches in diameter at the center, taller in width than the 25-inch outer tubes, which adds stability and allows more horsepower at the stern. The center tubes carry an aluminum underside shield that protects the plywood and quiets water noise. Owners describe the handling as cornering like a speedboat while keeping a smooth ride over rough water, with the lifting strake helping it climb onto plane quickly.

The helm reflects the series' high-end intent. The Commander dash supports optional Simrad or Garmin screens up to 12 inches, with illuminated push buttons, an integrated wireless charger, a Garmin Striker 4 depth finder, and centrally located cup holder and radio controls. Charging is handled by high-speed USB and USB-C ports in both bow benches that charge up to six times faster, plus a hidden wireless charger in the starboard armrest and a voltage-reading USB port at the seating. Audio comes standard with RGB-lighted speakers powered by a Rockford Fosgate PMX2 stereo and Kicker speakers, with an optional Roswell package adding upgraded speakers, subs, and amps tuned for the boat.

Deck and seating layouts are a defining feature. The R bow rider, introduced in 2020, drops the front of the pontoon to create a step-down U-lounge that places guests close to the water and improves driver sight lines. Viewports in the bow rails ease docking and picking up skiers. The 24 RTSB swing-back bow rider adds a large stern sun pad that can face forward or aft, a cockpit table, and a center bow seat that opens to a forward bathing platform usable for boarding or fishing. Storage is generous, with watertight compartments under the seats and access panels reaching fuel lines and filters.

Build quality stands out. Flooring is marine-grade plywood over quarter-inch by three-inch cross channels, fully through-bolted rather than deck-screwed, and the deck-and-down structure carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. Higher trims use Simtex vinyl upholstery sourced from European luxury yachts to resist stains, mold, and mildew. A 2022 example fully optioned with a trailer was offered at $144,947, or $139,367 without the trailer. When shopping for a Bennington R23 pontoon boat or Bennington R25 pontoon boat for sale, confirm tube package, engine rating, and dash configuration, since these drive both performance and price.
