2027 Bennington 25 QX Swingback w/ Arch

This new 2027 Bennington 25 QXSBA, stock #5019, in mid blue over metallic silver, is the flagship QX Series treatment applied to the most practical size of pontoon. Twenty-eight feet three inches overall, a single Yamaha 350 hp outboard, 4,030 lbs dry, rated for fifteen.

What you are paying for with a QX rather than a Q is the exterior. Smooth fiberglass-clad panels with an automotive-inspired finish replace the exposed aluminium sheeting of the lesser series, and the difference is not only visual. Clad panels stay looking new far longer, resist the scuffs and oxidation that age an aluminium boat, and are a large part of why QX hulls hold their value the way they do.

Inside it is Veneto soft-touch QX furniture: two proper bow chaise lounges with armrests, an aft sun pad with the versatile Swingback backrest, premium captain's helm seating, luxury flooring, and charging points and cupholders throughout. The Swingback pivots between forward-facing and aft-facing, so one bench serves the run out and the afternoon at anchor.

The helm carries a 12-inch Bennington VIVID UX main display with a 7-inch vessel-control touchscreen, digital Yamaha engine monitoring, and integrated navigation. Audio is Rockford Fosgate. The power-folding sport arch carries integrated speakers, provides shade, and drops electrically so the boat clears a covered slip, and there is an extended aft deck for waterside space.

A single Yamaha 350 on a 4,030 lb performance tritoon is a strong, simple combination: one engine to service and fuel, plenty of thrust for skiing and surfing, and lively acceleration. Worth knowing the tank is 37 gallons, so on heavy watersports days plan a stop at the gas dock rather than running all afternoon.

Why this is the right boat: you want the flagship look and finish, but you do not want a 30-footer's slip fees, towing requirements, or docking anxiety. A 25 QX with a 350 delivers the QX experience in a size that fits an ordinary slip and an ordinary truck, and it will still be the best-looking boat on your dock in five years.

It is new and on the floor in our indoor showroom at 3545 Osage Beach Pkwy., Osage Beach. Kelly's Port has been family owned on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977, with storage, slips, a gas dock, a ship store, and same-day service on site.
