Elkhart, Ind. – September 19, 2026 -- Bennington has unveiled its model year 2027 pontoon lineup, marking the brand's 30th anniversary with a redesigned R-Series, a new high-performance package and a wave of comfort and technology upgrades across its S-One, R, RX, Q and QX models.
Limited-edition models celebrate three decades of pontoon building.
The anniversary boats come in Midnight Blue or Sunset Red graphics packages with exclusive 30th-anniversary badging, addressable RGB headlight startup animations, custom furniture and a self-centering logo steering wheel.
The R-Series gets a flagship-inspired exterior overhaul.
Borrowing design cues from Bennington's DockSpeed line, the redesigned R Series features a sweeping bow profile, formed louvers, a diamond-fade grille and available accent lighting. Bennington is also standardizing tritoon construction and PowerShade across the R, RX, Q and QX series to simplify ordering.
A new Triptical Sport Package pushes output to 1,000 horsepower.
Available as an upgrade from ESP T2 on the RT, R, RX, Q and QX series, the package supports twin 500-horsepower engines and up to 16 passengers depending on the model. It uses three 29-inch elliptical tubes, each 25 inches high with 8.5 inches of spacing, and offers 116 gallons of fuel capacity, expandable to a dual 116-gallon setup. A redesigned transom adds spray shielding for a drier ride.
Entry-level S-One and S-Series models add more personalization without new complexity.
S-One buyers get expanded color choices and an a-la-carte options menu, while keeping Bennington's Good, Better, Best and Best+ package structure. S-Series models 20 feet and longer can add the new Reserve furniture package, with four colorways including new Havana Brown and Halo Silver base vinyls. The S Series also introduces the Click & Cruise accessory system for tether kits, rod holders and shade kits ordered alongside the boat.
New tech includes a bow camera and adjustable captain's chairs.
Bennington's Vivid UX display adds a DockEase Bow Camera mounted beneath the port-side bow nosecone to aid docking, plus real-time fuel-burn readouts in gallons per hour. R, RX, Q and QX models with Sport or Pillowtop furniture can add a heated bow bench that shuts off automatically after one hour, and optional six-way adjustable captain and co-captain recliners with four inches of travel. A new seven-stage Rockford Fosgate audio lineup and four new exterior colors -- Juniper Green, Metallic Radiant Sand, Bayside Blue and Metallic Sienna Brown -- round out the 2027 update.
