So we pulled the trigger and bought the bennington 22ssrx. Super excited get to bring her home tomorrow. Will post a bunch of pics to show it off and will report numbers on the 3/4 sports tube when we get the motor past the 10 hrs break in point.

just got done 303ing the seats, yes roland I traded the 2009 2075 gli benny for the 2017 22ssrx benny. this one has the 3 sport tube its only 3/4 long with strakes. 25 inch tube and powered by a 115 hp Yamaha four stroke. It hasn't hit the water yet I am just getting everything loaded and figuring out where to stow everything.

Roland I agree, but the boys are older and want to go faster. Got the 2 hour break in done. So the manual said I could go full throttle just not for longer than 5 minuets I tried I could only top out at 5000 rpms 5he manual says it should hit 6300. No where close 3 adults 2 kids a cooler gonna stop at the dealer on Monday and ask what's up it also cavitates anything more than 1/2 tilt the motor is on the last hole. Any suggestions that I can tell the dealer.

TK....when my boat was new she would run 6100-6200 rpms.... dinged up the prop one year and the benny dealer talked me into getting a different pitch prop.... on the new prop never would rev over 5000 rpm.... called Yamaha and they said I needed to go back to the original pitch prop ( don't remember off hand what pitch that is )... did what they said... still getting right at 6K rpms at wot.... with my 75 hp that comes out to about 23 mph with no headwind and a perfectly smooth lake..... anyway.. love the look and color of your new benny...
