Still a toon gramps
boogerwelder your stupidity is astounding! NO its not a pontoon. Dont judge it till you ride on it! I have one so i know its not a pontoon dipshit!
gumbosavage1 relax, his comment is hilarious, i dont think he was being serious
@@gumbosavage1 lighten up gumbo. SMH
@@gumbosavage1 point is, literally EVERYONE that sees you on the lake will call it a pontoon. Just because you call it something different, doesn't make it so.
@@gumbosavage1 Your boat is like that of a minivan, you have no room whatsoever to act tough.
60ft boat goes by and you don't even have to slow down!!!! I'm sold
I call bullshit
@@rsdna9698 go for a ride! I'm sure a dealer near you will have a demo day soon!
I've been out on a Bennington's with twin Yamaha 425HP pushing out 850HP, it crazy fast, but very smooth too.
How about the weight of those two engines!
We can add
Perfect Pontoon for our Minnesota lakes!
Grandpa's toon was $3500 in '74 with a 40 hp Johnson...
Definitely not Pops boat.. LMBO 🤣 👍
Awesome boat. I never looked at pontoons until I seen your videos. Now i absolutely want a high performance pontoon. What a awesome salesman he is too super knowledgeable
He is also very skilled at explaining the design to people who don't know much about hydrodynamics. That's a skill in itself.
New to your channel. I (Kell) grew up on a lake with a pontoon boat. I love them. Thanks for sharing this video.
Ill have more pontoons and tri-toons on the channel
ME: So, tell me the difference between a Pontoon and a Triitoon
SALESMAN: Well, you can’t afford either...
and I tell the saleman ,"Dude you are dipshit selling them -- that is a certainty that you can't afford either or one of the Bass champ battery powered shit dingies ..
🤣🤣
A TRITOON has three main tubes which handles better and is more stable than a pontoon and is also more expensive. Pontoons are typically Smaller, much less expensive with HP under 100.
My family actually has a 2014 Bennington for a lake and he right when he say that it handles the waves amazingly
It’s still on a lake tho. The sales guy makes it sound like it could handle ocean but I’m not too sure about that
@@lukec1750 went to Tampa ,Florida last year and saw many pontoons on the ocean..
Being from the midwest, tri-toons are a huge seller. The handling is the big selling factor.
Love this boat fr its so awesome
just bought my first tritoon. I took my bennington 23sx with a 150 yamaha to pensacola for 2 weeks. cruised down the gulf to orange beach several times in 3 foot seas and cruised the bay and intercoastal everyday. it was smoother and handled better than our 239 key west has done in the past. and when people get up and walk around your not fighting the trim tabs. instantly plains. We were cruising 30-32 mph in the gulf with 5 of us and loved it. would love to ride in that one with a 425.
Great walk thru
NICE!!a mid 50 mile and hr pontoon boat? That’s insane! And I can go out in the open ocean? That’s the sht ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👍👍👍👍I can’t wait for the sea trial video 😎👍👍
64 MPH
I need to see that on the water to believe it’s as great as he says. Those are some bold claims! I’m a huge pontoon boat fan on calm waters because of the space and flat layout but they have typically been a nightmare in open waters with big waves or rough seas. I thought my buddy and I were going to die in Savannah when we got caught in a storm on his pontoon boat. It was plowing through the waves and they were running right over the front and through the whole boat. We had to go like 3-5 MPH the whole way back for an hour...
Been in 6' swells in Maine ocean, no issues.
This is so freaking cool I want one right away
Oh shit he said peanut island! I didn't realize they were in West Palm Beach 🙌
It's like a tour bus for the water. Very nice, I'm sure the price tag is way up there for the premium.
Is it nice when the rep knows his stuff?? Makes it for way better watching experience
Not even one edit! That is priceless
Lol well trained
Great for people like me who can’t handle the bounce of a boat across waves.
I am already seeing more and more of tri-toons in Maine where it is extremely popular on many lakes. Pontoons have been extremely popular and I see a lot of them having bbq's and cruising slowly in the evenings when all the water activities are done for the day. Now, it's both, water sports then BBQ afterwards. Some of them even have water slides, yes, I said water slides where the water is pumped to the top of the slides, I saw one on a double decker, also capable of waterspouts too! Imagine that! It's like a fast houseboat pulling tubes and skiers. It's becoming ridiculous and I laugh sometimes watching them because as a 70's kid who grew up on the lakes with a Hobie cat and a bowlder with a 65 horsepower mercs, (Mercury 650, the good ole days of mixing oil and gas are almost over) we were good and happy. Zipsledding, waterskiing, Big Old 18 wheeler inner tubes, we would wrap the ropes around and go tubing, sometimes the ropes would squeeze resulting in being blown. These were the good old days..I wonder that ten years from now is gonna look like? Happy Boating! BTW- The family still has the camp on the lake, now to third generation..
Have a Bennington 22SSX w elliptical tubes, Saltwater series and use it whale watching and mainly on the ocean, love it. 115 Vmax and I skip along at 36...in Down East Maine
Same in Wisconsin,BBQ, slides, bars etc.. everyone at the Chain of Lakes having a blast at the sandbar and cruising the Chain. 👍
cruised around Fort Myers yesterday, pontoon passed me with twin 400 mercs
Pontoon with 800 HP ?!?!
I ain't no tooner, but nice vid and a gr8 motor!!
I bought a Lowe's 1999 20ft Pontoon IN '99'. I ordered it at a Boat show. It was $12.000.00 with a 50 hp mercury. I had lowe's put on a Johnson 90 HP for $500.00 more. The salesman ask why did I needed a 90? I told him my family always had boats and I learned when you're out on the water. A storm can come out of nowhere and you better get out as soon as you can. I get caught in a storm and that Johnson 90 got me out quicker than a 50 mercury would. Owning a boat is great-expensive to up-keep--repairs are out of the roof. Keeping your boat in a shelter from the elements is the best thing you can do to keep it looking great. Ask the dealer all the questions you can think of. Make him earn his sale.
I'm not an expert but I listened to the more experienced boaters and it helped. 1. Always watch the clouds and notice black clouds forming are coming your way from a distance. If their are coming closer--pick up and get off the water quick as you can. Possibly a storm packing winds and rain. 2. If you can't make it out. Park your boat in a cove and if you have to---run your boat onto land if it's a fierce storm and get out the boat. You might get wet but you're alive. After it's over go your way. This happened to me at night but I did what my friend told me to do and I think it might of saved me. I parked right in front of a cove and I pulled into it. Waves thrashing around on the main lake but they missed the cove. Stay safe.
The irony is my great grandfather invented the pontoon...
Yes, I recognize that name! Was wondering who invented them a couple weeks ago. Cool!
I'll take 2 of 'em! :)
Ha
Yaaa
Crest also has cooled cup holders
B.O.A.T = Bust Out Another Thousand. LOL. but true.
Rob T yeah, but in this case, after you bust out that thousand, you’ll have to bust out another 58 thousand.
Rob T Typical comment from a jerk that wants a boat but can’t afford one so she throws an old lame comment out to make herself feel better about her loser self.
BLM baby -- Boating LIfe Matters.
I prefer my two sea doo RXT X 300
Me trying to impress my friends when they pass me the aux 5:43
I'm planning on taking the 5.7 out of my tritoon this winter and getting it up to 400 hp by next spring
Take out your 350 and throw in a 496 HO 425hp
@@Foxtucky I thought about that but it would be to hard to work on
Need a little more room
@@jondavidbristow9819 lol the problem that never goes away
@@Foxtucky nope especially with a boat
It was easy to put a 396 in my 77 Camaro back in the 80s
You will sell your center console and get one after you demo it!
Bet you a C-note!
These new toons make everything about being on the water, more fun.
Plus easier to trailer and much cheaper to fuel and operate.
What about when wind lifts the boat in the air I seen one on a lake almost flip over. This looks more stable.
Lol its definitely heavy enough!
Does it come with a fire extinguisher?
Salesman seems like a really nice Guy, I’d buy a boat from him.
What is the time frame on a custom order..
What is the lead time on a custom order?
It’s VERY important for the driver to have a refrigerated cup holder
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
so cool poontoons
Why didn’t you ask the price?
Boat is way to nice to do anything but set and look at it. At the end of the day it's still just a pontoon. With 1000's in fancy dodad's to make it cost more. It's like a 300k r/v for water.
Santarém. Pará Brasil. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🇧🇷👍.
uh,.... ok..... this is a shed with a rocket on the back. Their margins are sky high on these.
Beautiful. How much is this tribtoon 425?
Sales in Florida....? You know there’s some big ass lakes in Florida right? I doubt people are taking these 20 miles offshore to fish.
HI Casey, I am with Marina Mikes in Ft Myers Fl. We are a Bennington Dealer in South Florida. Feel free to call and ask for Steve and I would be happy to assist you in finding a Bennington in Florida.
now wide is that door? can you get a wheelchair through it?
Grandpa’s Pontoon was $90k and it still does more.
If I’m gonna spend that much I’d rather just get a cc. U can still party , but u can do it while fishing offshore. Also holds more gas and more fun to just cruise
Can you water ski on a boat like this?
Hell yeah. Up could waterski multiple people at a time
How fast can this thing go? 60mph? 70...?
About 64 MPH... www.BenningtonMarine.com/PDFs/Performance/Yamaha_Twin_425HP_850HP_Performance_Bulliten.pdf
Was exactly what I was thinking, mid 60's
Actually my grandpa owns a boat like this
Where is the head ? I like pontoons but no bathroom is a drag
There are typically flip up changing rooms with optional heads.
Do you make spontoons i want a blue spontoon
Email me luxuryribtenders@gmail.com
Color match to your Lamborghini. I’m guessing that the people that can afford this boat drive high end cars. Still love it but probably way out of my price range. ☠️
Grandpas pontoon doesn't even have Wetsounds speakers
I don't believe your explanation of why they're on the same plane and how it's better than a larger middle tube for banking.
Sold
No washroom!!- Deal breaker
Nice motor but waaaaaaay too heavy
Specs of the boat are irrelevant to my comment. Try again🤣🤣🤣
Is there a model made for hardcore fishermen?
I have no idea if they come from the factory, but I have seen several that have been modified for fishing. They have a larger front deck with seats, live wells under the bench seating and trolling rigs in the back. The down side of using a pontoon for fishing is they don't move well with a trolling motor. They work best with stationary fishing or with trolling lines set out. I wouldn't recommend a pontoon for bass fishing where you need to creep into small inlets and things
Can't pull your back off the seat... Hmm
I just bought a Ranger tri-toon with a Mercury 200 and it’s sick. I couldn’t imagine the wow factor you get from a 425 on the back... I’m sure you pay for that high end package, it’s gotta be over 100k..
@B
You would too if you had it to spend . ..lol...
B You are a liar and don’t have a pot to piss in. A free Jon boat is probably as close as you will get to having a boat to go out in. Quit hating on people who spend their success on things they want. Go back to the projects and sulk snowflake.
Why don’t these advertisements ever give the price???
If you have to ask?... you can't afford it.
Brad Pellerin not always true. When I ask my hookers how much, most of the time I can afford them
Im guessing 62,000 dollars
Guess again...the engine alone is $45,000
Wow. I have no clue
@@ronaldledgerton878 160,000
No toilet?
If it drives $1,000
If it floats $10,000
If it flies $100,000
If it fucks $1,000,000
So bad.
Well you heard the man, high end looking, not actual high end..
Damn, they have the price of this thing locked down on the internet. My guess is it's way over priced. Why else would they need to hide the price?
150k
$125,000?!..
I can build my own lol

Good salesman
What do you have for us average people that aren't millionaires ?
How long until we see one of these with a Mercury 450?
Eh, I like Yamaha
Obviously the people here never had a pontoon boat, or did not listen well, or they do have a pontoon boat with twin V8's. Speed = Mid 50's people, that Donzi speed yowls. Can you imagine overtaking a Donzi in this with 16 people holding drinks up?
Look at the Bennington Q30 lol
Must be nice to be so filthy rich you can waste so much money on a pontoon type of boat. Don’t get me wrong, I’m serious. I just want a small version set up for lake fishing and it still costs more than my vehicle. If you can buy one great for you! Looks like so much fun. Just filling the two gas tanks sets you back over $500.
Start verado
Yamaha 425 is extremely heavy I would rather have a mercury 450
Rather be broken is what i just read
I’m thinking 120k for a boat like this. Actually just went to the site and built one with only a 250hp motor and not anywhere near this model in luxury and I was at 159k. Ummmmmm
It’s a car-what’s the point?
Should have put the merc 450 on it....
Unless you have an extra 250k and more laying around, you have no business looking at this boat.
My bad

Rude salesman. Several times the host started to ask a question and was cut off or redirected.
Because he was talking nonsense. The salesman is not there to be your friend, he's there to sale the boat, not make small talk.
I too get excited and have been known to interrupt people when it comes to something I wholeheartedly believe in. Not something I do on purpose. Clearly the dealer is passionate about the product he sells & not ‘rude” as you insinuate. Hard to find a knowledgeable dealer with such passion. This is a beautiful boat and yes, coming from a center console, the ride of a pontoon/tritoon is far superior. Personally I’d go with the 350 vs the newer less-proven 425 but that’s just me.
Rev Thom he’s locked into a presentation. Passion for the product is one thing but ignoring the customer and continuing on doesn’t seem like good service especially when selling to thousands on a video. It’s free advertising for his product, let the host ask the questions his viewers and followers subscribe to
Lol ok
Fake news
Nice toon except for that garbage Yamaha on it
This is not equipped for saltwater because it's all aluminum. I don't care what this guy says, and he's full of shit when it comes to the ride compared to a fiberglass boat.
Go for a ride! Find a dealer doing a demo day! And they have a replaceable anode for the saltwater that protects the toons and all other aluminum
