BENNINGTON R25 FASTBACK
We don’t know about you, but we love a good-looking boat. The R25 Fastback runs fantastically
and is aesthetically appealing, even to those without much knowledge of pontoons. On the outside of
the boat, metallic silver paired with a storm graphic is sure to catch the eye of your jealous neighbor.
However, this boat isn’t just eye-catching on the outside. Driftwood upholstery, seagrass slate flooring,
and a luxury diamond stitch upgrade on the chairs make a pontooner want to sit up and admire their
immediate surroundings and not just the natural setting floating by.
“She really turns effortlessly. It’s beautiful how this boat performs,” stated the PDB editor during
the test. “What makes this boat turn so well is that it's got a great hull and a lot of power. It’s clearly a
comfortable boat with great performance.”
The dual helm stands add a sleek look to the vessel, and a luxurious console with a Mercury gauge
provides boaters with all of the information they could possibly need right at their fingertips. Overall,
the R25 Fastback proves that it is more than just a pretty face. •
