I looked at trackers specs did you realize it is a really closer to a 20' pontoon? Tube length is 20'4" and deck length is 20'1" most 22's measure at least a foot longer. FYI

Yeah funny how every mfg. rates their length. Bennington rates theirs in actual deck length, mine is rated at 22' which is how long the actual deck length is, actual total length without the engine is 24.5' plus another couple feet for the engine hanging off the back.

I am looking at a Bennington 22SSX tritoon with a 200 Vrod Pro. Anyone know if I can get down to 1 mph while back trolling with a sock?

Can't say for sure but would think so throw one of each corner and you will for sure.

Did the 150 come with the smart craft? How slow can you get it down to.

no smartcraft... not sure bout idle speed, but it seemed steering at slow speeds was less responsive with the third toon... might want to ask bout that knowing you r a backtroller... i'll check on it my next time out...

Did you have a drift sock out front? I was wondering about that but I might have to make a sacrifice some where to have everything else I want.

never had 1 out the front, but did have 2 different sizes out the back... will hook 1 up front and back troll at idle next time out and let you know...

thinking bout it now, you might b fine as far as back trolling slow... i remember having to give her more throttle backing away from the dock as idle wouldn't move me like it usually would...
