The best thing about this pontoons layout is you've got plenty of seating room for all your friends and family. The optional gate seat creates a U-shaped space in the front or the back of the boat. The versatility is fantastic. This popular floor plan is not only spacious but it also has a ton of storage under each seat. So we provide underseat storage, helm storage, and additional space behind our J seat backs.
On our Triton boat models, you can even opt for in-floor storage for those bulky items like skis or wakeboards. There's a spot for everything on your Bennington. We recognize that space is important inside and outside your pontoon boat. So we offer an extended aft deck feature on pretty much every model we have this gives you a great platform with an extended deck in the back of the boat. You can opt in to ski tow pylon on all of our models.
And the nice part is, our tow pylons are not limited to just one tube or skier, they are rated for several at one time, so you can tow with confidence. You'll notice many of our floor plans offer a portside recliner seat option. Not only does that bring added comfort to the co-captain but it creates a more versatile floor plan by swiveling around and making it possible to join the conversation in the front or the back of the boat. The swing back floor plan is full of comfortable options.
You can sit facing the front of the boat or with a simple swipe of the backrest lounge and take in the view of the back of the boat. This is a great feature. If you're at the sandbar and you want to have conversation with people in the water or enjoy the view and comfort while cruising around the lake, you could lie down flat for sunbathing or lift the back portion of the sun pad to have a reclining backrest facing forward. There are so many comfortable positions on this floor plan, it's clear why this boat is so popular.
To chase lounges in the bow provide lots of seating and guarantee everyone has a spot to stretch out and relax. Midship, you can opt for a bench or the cold captain's recliner which provides a little added space and versatility to the boat. The L-bench is a popular and more traditional layout that makes the most of the space by creating a gathering area around the table with the captain's recliner able to swivel to the left for easier conversation.
While the bow chase lounge provides ample seating or lounging space in the front of the boat, if you look directly behind the L-bench in the back of the boat, you'll notice there's a large storage compartment that can be storage for anchors and toys or a private change room that folds out when opened. The porta-potty is an option as well. So you don't have to go back to the shoreline every time a little one needs to use the restroom.
The stern lounge floor plan features a lounge seat on each side of the gate in the back. It gives you great view of the sunset or any water sports activities that may need a spotter. We put in the time designing these chairs for ultimate comfort wider than the rest of our bench seats and loungers with the same attention to detail, foam density, and ergonomics. They make it so you can enjoy the water and lounge all day long.
It's great for hanging out at the sandbar or cruising around the lake. On the starboard side, you can option in a changing room or a porta potty. Like the fish, they have lots of pontoon fishing floor plans to choose from. If fishing is your primary activity on the water, we have quad fishing seat floor plans, which include four fishing seats, two in the front and two in the back of the boat.
If you like to fish but that's not the only way you enjoy time on the water, there are floor plans that have two fishing seats instead of four so that you can fish from the back and relax in the front of the boat. All fishing floor plan include a nice large livewell at the stern with integrated measurement and a built-in rod holder to keep rods secure while underway. Our pro-angler stations organized your tackle and provide you with more livewell phase.
Locking rod storage is available as well as additional livewell locations at the bow and L-bench or in the front of the helm. And any of these labels can double as a cooler if you're not using it for fishing that day. We also offer a trolling motor half gate in the bow of the boat. This allows you to put electric anchor or a trolling motor on the deck using a quick bracket. And then your foot control is easily accessed underneath the railing.
This quick bracket allows you to take the trolling motor off so that it's out of the way if you're going to use the boat for cruising for some occasions. Near our fishing floor plans have two stern gates on either side of the livewell. These are great for easy access to the water when landing that big catch, also providing additional entry points at the dock on the starboard and port side. Entertainment floor plans include a dinette table.
You can opt for four seats at the table or two seats and a swing back bench if you want even more versatility. These pontoon layouts are spacious, they give you plenty of room to serve food, have lunch, and are a great place to visit. You've even got built-in cup holders for drinks which are not disturbed when the table top lifts up to stow items you want quick access to. RGB lighting trims the table's edge and provides great mood lighting on those evening cruises.
Unique to Bennington is our bowrider floor plan. True to its name, there is a step down into the bow area. This design gives the boat a lower center of gravity, provides a completely different ride than any other boat on the market. The stable dry ride puts passengers closer to the water. And provides a clear line of sight for the driver. So now if there's a downed skier or wakeboarder in the water in front of the boat, the captain can see much easier over the top of everybody's head in the bow of the boat.
This position also makes it much easier to see when coming in to the dock, boat lift, or boathouse. The new lounge seating in the bow of the boat is standard with a removable table that converts from spacious lounging to snacks and entertaining in seconds. Close to the water and a great view of all the action. It will quickly become your favorite place to enjoy your time out on the water. This is one of those boats that until you ride in it, you just don't realize how great the performance is.
The bow rider carves out the corners and handles a speedboat while giving you the stability you expect out of one of our Bennington pontoons. You've just got to drive it to see what I'm talking about. It's amazing. Our top deck floor has multiple levels of fun. Not only is it spacious up above and below but it's also great for bringing everybody together on one boat. You can lay out on the top deck and sun yourself. And when that gets too hot, the slides there to cool you off fast.
But there's plenty of room underneath the top deck to take advantage of the shade if you want to sit towards the back of the boat or shift towards the front and get all the sun you want. There's comfortable seating all around. For more boating tips, visit us at benningtonmarine.com.
