Bennington 168SL Pontoon Boats
The 168SL is built for smaller and quieter water. Ossipee Lake, the quieter stretches of Lake Winnisquam near Sanbornton, smaller ponds, and private lakes throughout New Hampshire – these are exactly the conditions the 168SL is designed for. On smaller water, a 17-foot boat is often easier to navigate and less disruptive to the rest of the lake than something in the 22 to 25-foot range.
The 168SL is also the easiest Bennington to tow. Its narrow beam fits most standard trailers comfortably, and the weight range puts it within what most midsize pickup trucks and even some SUVs can pull without needing a dedicated tow vehicle. For buyers who plan to trailer the boat frequently rather than leaving it in a slip, this matters more than it may seem at first glance.
Why Bennington 168SL Boats
The 168SL is available with the SPS performance package, which adds the center tube and WaveTamer technology. On a 17-foot boat, the SPS is primarily relevant for buyers who want to do light towing or who run on water with any chop. For calm-lake fishing and relaxed cruising, the standard two-tube 168SL is fully capable and arguably the more appropriate configuration for the use case.
The Extra Deal and Special Package options at Winnisquam Marine bundle popular accessories at consolidated pricing, which makes the total ownership cost more predictable than building a configuration from scratch on the options sheet.
