2027 Bennington 25 QX Swingback w/ Arch

Luminous blue over Gemini black, fiberglass-clad, with a power-folding arch and a Yamaha 350 on the transom. This new 2027 Bennington 25 QXSBA, stock #5018, is the flagship QX Series in a 28-foot 3-inch package that still fits a normal slip.

The single-engine choice here is deliberate and worth defending. One Yamaha 350 on a 4,030 lb tritoon produces genuinely strong acceleration, and it means one engine to winterize, one lower unit to service, one set of plugs, and one fuel bill. Buyers who step up to twin engines on a boat this size often find they were paying for capability they never use. With 73 gallons aboard, this one also has real range: a full day of skiing and cruising without watching the gauge.

The QX difference is the cladding. Smooth fiberglass exterior panels with an automotive-inspired finish instead of exposed aluminium sheeting. It is the single biggest factor in how a pontoon looks after five seasons of sun, dock rash, and pressure washing, and it is the main reason QX boats command the resale they do.

The furniture is Veneto soft-touch QX, with two full bow chaise lounges with armrests, an aft sun pad with the convertible Swingback backrest, a premium reclining captain's chair, luxury flooring, and wireless phone charging. Fifteen-person capacity.

At the helm sits a 12-inch VIVID UX main display alongside a 7-inch vessel-control touchscreen, with an integrated GPS speedometer, navigation capability, and digital Yamaha engine monitoring. The power-folding sport arch carries integrated speakers and a premium bimini shade system, and folds electrically so the boat clears a covered slip.

Why this is the right boat: this is the one to buy if you want the best-looking, best-finished pontoon on your dock without the complexity or cost of a wide-beam twin-engine 30-footer. It is quick, it is simple to own, it holds value, and it is the right size for everyday use on the Lake of the Ozarks.

It is new and in our indoor showroom in Osage Beach, so you can sit in it and compare layouts side by side regardless of the season. Kelly's Port has been family owned on the Lake since 1977, and we handle rigging, storage, fuel, and service ourselves. Call 573.348.3888 to see stock #5018.
