Specifications
There’s something different about a Sebago day when everyone can relax from the moment you push off. This 17' Bennington pontoon gives you the kind of easy, comfortable ride that turns a simple outing into a full day of swimming, cruising, laughing, and lingering a little longer in your favorite cove.
You’ll have room for up to 7 passengers, which means your crew can spread out instead of squeezing in. The steady pontoon platform makes it especially nice for families, first-time boaters, and anyone who wants a calmer, more laid-back way to explore the lake. Picture the bimini up for shade, kids dangling their feet near the water, a cooler within reach, and the whole group enjoying the ride between swim stops, fishing spots, and quiet stretches of shoreline.
What makes this Bennington such a strong fit for Sebago is how simple and approachable it feels. With a 40 hp engine and easy-to-handle setup, it’s built for relaxed cruising rather than rush—great for beginners and perfect for the “let’s just enjoy the lake” kind of day. You’ll also have the essentials already included, like Coast Guard–approved adult and kid life jackets, required safety gear, anchor and dock lines, a basic first-aid kit, a lake map with area tips, and a quick launch so you can spend more time on the water and less time figuring things out.
This pontoon is a great match for family lake days, casual fishing trips, sunset cruises, swimming stops, and birthday outings where being together matters more than going fast. If your ideal Sebago day includes comfort, space, and an easy ride everyone can enjoy, this is the boat to book.
