Hi - first want to say thanks for this website and everyones posts - all the information, tips, ideas, and even opinions have been really helpful. I am new to pontoons and boating generally, but have been around long enough to realize I do not know very much and things usually work out when I listen to other people (including my wife)!

Wife and I bought our 2010 Bennington 2275 in late August and so far have been to Lake Grapevine and Joe Pool Lake in the DFW area mostly. Hope to start moving outward to see new sites next spring and summer.

Thanks! Once my wife realized that such a thing as double biminis existed, she insisted on it and it has turned out being essential - our first day out with the boat it was 107F.

Lol, Roland - they do look pretty much the same!
