Performance

Like most other Bennington models, the G23 Swingback works with a single outboard motor with a maximum of 250HP. This gives you a powerful kick while ensuring that you don't use gas too quickly. Since this is a pontoon-style boat, it does a wonderful job of keeping plane even during unfavorable wind and water conditions.

Depending on which exact motor you choose, most find the G23 Swingback can keep plane easily at 20mph and can usually go up to 40-50mph at a maximum speed. Fuel consumption is around four to five gallons per hour at full speed, thus ensuring that you can spend the whole day on the water without worry.

By default, the Bennington QX25 line is very good at cutting through the water. You'll have great control even at top speed, and the pontoon-style design enhances reliability. If you want the absolute best from your QX25, then the Elliptical Sports Package, or ESP, is highly recommended.

This is a three-pontoon styled package for enhanced control so that you can easily cut through the water with tight turns. An under deck wave shield is added in order to minimize water resistance even in choppy waters. A 250HP engine is the maximum you can install, even with the ESP.

The G23 does a wonderful job of cutting through the water, and the extended back deck makes it easy to access the motor whenever needed. Not only that, but the premium control panel is intuitive and simple to use. Whether this is your first boat or you've owned other models in the past, you'll have no problem controlling the G23.

In general, you'll find this boat is a comfortable ride with tons of power behind it.

Design

Bennington balances itself between power and design with both being fantastic. The Bennington G23 Swingback is best known for its swingback chair near the back deck. There is a bar in the middle that can be easily moved so guests can sit either forward or backward, depending on what they want to look at. Moving the bar takes seconds and it provides comfortable back support.

All seats are upholstered in comfortable Simtex vinyl. Not only does it feel comfortable, but the furniture can be fully customized to match your favorite colors. The design is meant to harken back to muscle cars and European sports cars, and it does this perfectly. You'll notice the parallels immediately and it's like stepping into the best cars in history.

The floor is made from seagrass that gives the 21SLX an extra touch of flair. On top of that, this is much easier to clean than carpet. It's very comfortable underfoot whether you're wearing shoes or not.

Near the back, you'll find LED speakers. These speakers allow you to play your favorite tunes while the LED backlight can be changed to fit the mood. It's simple to use and the effect is transfixing.

You'll also find that wood grain and stainless steel have been used extensively with the Bennington G23 Swingback. The sidebars and steering wheel are made from stainless steel and wood accents are found in the glovebox and all throughout the boat. On top of that, the sea-grass flooring is comfortable underfoot and is much easier to clean than carpet.

It's easy to see why Bennington is known for making the most attractive pontoon-style boats on the planet.

Safety

Pontoons on their own are known as one of the safest boat types on the water. Their large, sturdy designs make them very unlikely to flip. Except in the harshest conditions, the Bennington G23 Swingback will keep plane and keep everyone comfortable.

On top of that, the expert engineering at Bennington ensures that all their boats are crafted so they can cut through the water with ease. There's also a sloped ladder that curves naturally and makes it easier to exit and enter the boat. This is perfect as it reduces the chances of someone slipping or hurting their leg.

You'll also find that stainless steel has been used throughout the boat. Not only is this highly attractive, but it ensures the boat will remain durable for many years. This is a boat that takes care of you while being highly resilient.
