2026 Bennington 26 M Sport Lounge

Ten seating configurations. That is what the Sport Lounge floorplan gives you, and it is why this new 2026 Bennington 26 MSL, stock #4947, is worth understanding before you settle on a conventional layout.

The Sport Lounge is an open-concept design built around two configurable chaise loungers with a Fastback aft section. Rather than fixing your furniture in one arrangement, the loungers reposition, so the same deck can be set up as facing lounges for conversation, as a pair of sun beds, as forward-facing seating for a run across the Lake, or as an open floor when you are loading gear and people. Most pontoons offer one layout and ask you to live with it. This one adapts to the day.

It is 28 feet 3 inches overall, with a 25-foot 4-inch pontoon length and a 27-foot 6-inch deck on an 8-foot 6-inch beam, riding on 25-inch tubes and rated for fourteen people.

The engine on this one is a 150, which is a deliberate and often sensible choice. If your boating is cruising, sunset runs, and afternoons anchored in a cove rather than pulling skiers, a 150 moves this hull perfectly well and costs materially less to buy, insure, and fuel. Paired with the 23.9-gallon tank, running costs stay genuinely modest. If watersports are central to your plans, talk to us about the higher-horsepower builds instead.

Equipment includes Veneto premium soft-touch vinyl furniture, a 7-inch VIVID UX main display with a vessel control touch pad, premium Rockford Fosgate audio with six speakers, and an extended aft deck with a LilliPad ladder, which is considerably easier to climb than a folding ladder. A carbon fiber Aero arch is available as an option and is worth seeing in person.

Why this is the right boat: for a couple or a small family who want a good-looking, flexible, inexpensive-to-run new pontoon that reconfigures around whatever the afternoon turns into, the Sport Lounge is a genuinely clever piece of design and this is a sensibly specified example.

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 dry storage, slips, a gas dock, and same-day service on site. Come move the furniture around yourself. Call 573.348.3888 about stock #4947.
