2027 Bennington 26 M Fastback - Quad Bench

This new 2027 Bennington 26 MFB, stock #4989, in luminous blue over metallic silver, is the M Series boat to buy if you regularly have a crowd aboard. Twenty-eight feet three inches, a Yamaha 300 with Digital Electronic Controls, and fifteen-person capacity.

The MFB is the Multi-Function Fastback layout, and its advantage is straightforward: four spacious chaise lounges instead of a mix of benches and short seats. Everyone gets a full-length place to sit at the same time. If your Saturdays involve two families rather than one, that difference is felt immediately, and it is why this floorplan outsells the others in the M range.

Two details set this particular boat above the usual M specification. First, it has dual Simrad touchscreen multifunction displays rather than a single screen, so you can run navigation on one and engine data or music on the other. Second, the Yamaha 300 is fitted with Digital Electronic Controls, which replaces the mechanical cable with a digital throttle. The difference at the dock is significant: shifts are instant and silent, and low-speed control is far more precise, which matters when you are easing a 28-footer between two expensive boats.

The rest is well sorted. M Series upholstery with detailed stitching, captain and co-captain reclining chairs, premium woven vinyl flooring, RGB accent lighting, illuminated cupholders, wireless phone charging with multiple USB ports, and large under-seat and in-floor lockers. A power bimini gives shade at the touch of a button, and there is an extended Fastback swim platform with a boarding ladder, a stainless ski tow bar, docking lights, and an upgraded exterior lighting package. Fifty-four gallons of fuel is a real day's range.

Why this is the right boat: 300 horsepower on a 4,030 lb tritoon is quick, the quad-bench layout seats a genuine group in comfort, and the digital throttle and twin screens make it feel like a much more expensive boat. For a family that entertains on the Lake of the Ozarks and wants a new boat with a full warranty, this is a very complete package.

It is new and in our indoor showroom in Osage Beach. Kelly's Port has been family owned on the Lake since 1977, with storage, slips, fuel, and same-day service on site. Call 573.348.3888 to see stock #4989.
