Bennington 20SLG Simple Walkthrough

[@nchighwayman]

Now that you've had some time with the boat, how do you like it? I just ordered the same boat (Bennington SLG). Probably won't be here until October. Too late for much this year but hoping to be ready for next season. I liked the SLG floorplan much better than the SL for the 20' boat. Much better utilization of floor space for my needs. Thanks for sharing the tour of your boat! Any plans on making another video of it in the water?

Tough question. Yes, we love the boat. I really like the L-lounge seating in the back and the huge changing room. Also, the SLG was perfect as it has the backed chaise lounge on the port bow rather than just at non-backed bench like on the SL... THAT was the deciding factor for us getting the SLG... my wife wanted to face forward with her friends on the port and starboard as we were underway. That being said, I really wanted a SWINGBACK model. I could still have my L-lounge, but also have that large sunpad in the stern. That is the model I still pine over when I see one. However, they started at like $45K or something ridiculous like that. It would have cost me $20K more to get that than the SLG. I am unsure about making another video as I really don't have the patience.

@@authorizeduser9762 Ok, glad to hear you are liking the boat! That chaise lounge was also one thing that sold me on the SLG. Plus I wasn't a fan of having so much deck on the bow and the stern that wasn't inside the fencing. Just wasted space for me. I understand about the video making! lol! Out of all of youtube, you have one of only two videos I've been able to find showing the SLG. Thanks for the reply!

@@nchighwayman honestly, that's why I did the video. One, so I could look at it over the winter time while it was in storage, and two for anybody else who struggled to find an SLG video as well. I did have great plans to make another video, but really have not just found the time or interest. You might inspire me to do it. If I do, I will let you know. Anything particular you would want to see?

@@nchighwayman I agree with you regarding the space outside of the fencing, however! I will tell you that the lack of space does have its disadvantages outside of the fence. The extended aft deck was not an option on my boat so I couldn't get it. it is a challenge to navigate the stern when cleaning the engine or tying a line to the cleats. I have jammed my toes so many times on that freaking ladder.

@@authorizeduser9762 I'm sure that extended deck would have some advantages while its in the water for sure! I'll probably be jamming toes too! lol! If you ever do make another video I would like to see around the outside on both sides. It seems that on most Bennington boats they put their logo in the middle of the side fencing but on the SLG it looks like its always toward the front. I plan on ordering dimensional chrome registration numbers once I get it registered and was wondering where to put them. Would be nice to see how you did yours.
