2022 Bennington 26 Lxsb

Monaco Blue over metallic white. This 2022 Bennington 26 LXSB, stock #4757, is a well-optioned LX Series tritoon with a 300 hp outboard and 377.6 hours, and it is priced where a new 24-footer starts.

The LX sits in Bennington's premium tier, and the equipment on this particular boat is what makes it worth a look. LX Sport upholstery in two-tone Simtex vinyl over Duraframe seat bases, bamboo vinyl flooring, and stainless steel and woodgrain accents throughout. The helm has a Pure-Comfort reclining chair with an integrated headrest, tilt steering, a custom wheel with zebrawood slate accents and an etched center cap, a Sterling gauge package, illuminated rocker switches with dash-mounted breakers, an hour meter, and a locking glove box with 12V, aux, and USB.

Details worth noting: sealed Deutsch connectors on the wiring, which is the difference between an electrical system that still works reliably in year eight and one that gives you intermittent faults. Four Blue Ice LED illuminated Kicker speakers running off an all-in-one Kicker KMC45 stereo. A 27-quart cooler seat insert built into the furniture. A stowable sculpted woodgrain trapezoid table. A USB charge station with volt meter including Quick Charge 3.0 and USB-C.

The Swingback layout gives three chaise lounges with the flexible Swingback stern lounger, so the rear furniture faces forward while running and converts to face aft once you anchor, with Swingback privacy panelling behind. It rides on 25-inch pontoons with the Mega Pan fuel system and a 37-gallon tank, 35.2 usable. Fourteen-person capacity on a 27-foot 9-inch deck.

Why this is the right boat: 300 horsepower, LX-grade furniture and electronics, fourteen-person capacity, and genuinely good build detail, for well under six figures. The hours are honest use rather than neglect, and a boat specified this thoroughly is a better long-term purchase than a stripped-out new one at the same money.

It is at Kelly's Port in Osage Beach, family owned on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977 and a long-standing Bennington dealer. Storage, slips, a gas dock, a ship store, and our same-day service guarantee are all on the property. Call 573.348.3888 to look over stock #4757.
