2026 Bennington 24 M Fastback - Quad Bench

Matte luminous blue over metallic white, and a 48-gallon fuel tank. This new 2026 Bennington 24 MFB, stock #4974, is a 24-footer specified for people who intend to stay out.

Start with that tank, because it is the detail that separates this boat from most of its size. Many 24-foot tritoons carry around 24 gallons, which is fine for a couple of hours. Forty-eight gallons doubles your day. It is the difference between planning the afternoon around a fuel stop and simply going where you feel like going, and behind a Yamaha 250 on a 3,789 lb hull it translates into a genuinely long day of tubing and cruising.

The MFB is the Multi-Function Bench layout. The rear lounge seating converts from forward-facing cruise seats into rear-facing relaxation lounges, so the boat has one configuration for the run out and another the moment you anchor. Around it there is wraparound seating through the cockpit, captain and co-captain recliners, premium marine-grade upholstery with upscale stitching, soft-touch woven vinyl flooring, a large in-floor locker for watersports gear, and RGB accent lighting with illuminated cupholders.

The helm is a step above what this size usually gets: a VIVID UX touchscreen with integrated vessel controls, GPS and depthsounder capability through Simrad displays, digital engine monitoring with Yamaha controls, hydraulic tilt steering with an upgraded wheel, illuminated switch panels, and Bluetooth stereo with USB charging.

Outside there is a curved bimini, an extended aft swim platform with a boarding and swim ladder, stainless hardware, and docking lights, with SPS or ESP performance packages available to sharpen the handling further. Rated for twelve people.

Why this is the right boat: a 24-footer is the easiest size of boat to own on the Lake of the Ozarks, fitting any slip and towing behind an ordinary truck, and this one is specified so that its only real limitation, range, has been engineered out. For a family of four to six who want a new boat with a warranty and no compromises on the length of the day, it is a very well-judged package.

It is on the floor at Kelly's Port, 3545 Osage Beach Pkwy. in Osage Beach, family owned on the Lake since 1977, with dry storage, slips, a gas dock, and same-day service on site. Call 573.348.3888 to see stock #4974.
