2027 Bennington 30 QX Swingback w/ Windshield & Arch

Nine hundred horsepower. On a pontoon. This new 2027 Bennington 30 QX Swingback, stock #5047, is the current high-water mark of what a tritoon can be: 30 feet 11 inches on a 10-foot beam, finished in metallic silver over Gemini black, rated for 21 people, and set up with a windshield and arch.

Start with the layout, because the designation matters. This is the Swingback with Windshield and Arch. The Swingback rear lounge pivots between forward-facing and aft-facing, so one piece of furniture serves both the cruise out and the afternoon at anchor. The windshield is the feature that separates this boat from most 30-footers: at the speeds 900 horsepower makes available, a windshield stops being a nicety and becomes the reason the ride is pleasant rather than punishing. It also extends the usable season well into spring and autumn on the Lake.

Above it sits the power arch, carrying lighting, speakers, and the tow point, and folding electrically so a boat this size still clears a covered slip. That single feature decides whether many buyers can keep a 30-footer at their own dock.

Underneath is the QX platform on the wide 10-foot beam, with fiberglass cladding rather than exposed aluminium and Bennington's top-tier performance tube geometry. At 5,512 lbs dry with 900 horsepower on the transom, the power-to-weight ratio is closer to a performance sport boat than a pontoon, and the wide-beam hull is what makes that power usable instead of alarming. It plants, it turns, and it stays flat with a full deck of passengers.

Why this is the right boat: this is the boat for someone who is finished compromising. It seats twenty-one in flagship-trim comfort, it cruises long distances behind a windshield, it will pull anything anyone wants to ride behind it, and it will still be the quickest boat in most coves. As a 2027, you get the newest platform, the full factory warranty, and years before anything needs attention.

It is in our indoor showroom at 3545 Osage Beach Pkwy. in Osage Beach, so you can walk it, sit in it, and go through the build in climate-controlled comfort any month of the year. Kelly's Port has been family owned on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977, and our service department, gas dock, ship store, and wet and dry storage are all right here.
