2026 Bennington 25 Q Fastback - Quad Bench w/ Arch

Midnight blue, sixteen-person capacity, and a choice of serious outboard packages. This new 2026 Bennington 25 QFBA, stock #4943, is the Q Series flagship tritoon in the Quad Bench Fastback layout with an arch.

Engine choice is the interesting part here. Bennington offers this hull with Mercury Verado or Yamaha V MAX SHO performance packages. The V MAX SHO is worth understanding: it is a lightweight, high-output four-stroke derived from Yamaha's bass-boat engines, and on a light tritoon it produces noticeably sharper acceleration than a heavier equivalent. The Verado is the smoother, quieter option with better refinement at cruise. Neither is wrong; they suit different owners, and we will talk you through which fits how you actually use a boat.

The Quad Bench Fastback layout gives expansive wraparound lounge seating with the sleek Fastback stern maximising the entertainment space aft. Q Series finish means diamond-stitched Simtex marine upholstery with pillow-top comfort, an elevated luxury helm with a reclining captain's chair and premium wheel, RGB interior accent lighting with illuminated cupholders, high-end soft-touch vinyl flooring with woven textures, and both USB and wireless charging. Storage is genuinely good: a large in-floor compartment sized for watersports gear, integrated cooler storage, and abundant lockers under every seat.

Underneath sits the ESP Performance Package, Bennington's top-tier hull treatment for 8-foot-6 beam boats, with elliptical tube geometry, strakes and foils that produce planing and cornering behaviour genuinely comparable to a fiberglass sport boat. The helm runs the VIVID UX digital system with a Simrad multifunction touchscreen, GPS and depthsounder integration, and digital switching with vessel monitoring.

Worth noting the fuel capacity on this one is 36 gallons, so on a heavy watersports day plan a stop at the gas dock. For cruising and cove use it is ample.

Why this is the right boat: sixteen-person capacity, flagship Q finish, ESP handling, and a genuine choice of high-performance outboards, in a boat that still fits a standard slip and tows behind an ordinary truck. It is the Q Series at its most versatile.

It is new and on the floor at Kelly's Port, 3545 Osage Beach Pkwy. in Osage Beach. Family owned on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977, with slips, storage, fuel, and same-day service on site. Call 573.348.3888 to see stock #4943 and to compare the engine packages.
