When I originally looked at toons being a long time career heavy diesel tech and anal as hell about only buying the best, once I crawled underneath every brand toon available in the Bis/Man area, Bennington was the only one that even came close to being built to sustain rough water action at the time, every other brand was not only scary but down right dangerous and I would not want anyone I cared for on a toon with a 200+ engine strapped to something with only 4-8 bolts in the entire frame and the rest self tapping screws. The only scres on a Benny are the ones attaching the deck to the frame other than that it is entirely bolted together and has a heavier frame than a lot of others at the timebut the market has come a long ways in the toon market since then.Just in case some didn't know Bennington got a lot bigger this year with the Acquisition of Nautic Global Group.<a href="http://www.nauticglobalgroup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.nauticglobalgroup.com/</a>[h=1]Company[/h]Nautic Global Group was formed in 2005 through a merger of Godfrey Marine and the Rinker Boat Company.  Both of these formerly family-owned businesses had rich boat-building heritages that were continued to be honored and celebrated by focusing on quality, value and professionalism.From 2005 to 2015 the company, from their manufacturing facilities in Elkhart, IN and Syracuse, IN, proudly built industry leading products including Hurricane deck boats, Godfrey pontoon boats (Sanpan, Aqua Patio and Sweetwater brands) Rinker Express Cruisers and Captiva Sport Boats, Polar Kraft aluminum fishing boats, and Parti Kraft pontoon boats.On September 21, 2015, Nautic Global Group and Bennington Marine announced that the companies had signed a definitive acquisition agreement whereby Bennington Marine would acquire all of the brands and certain assets and liabilities of Nautic Global Group.  The acquisition by Bennington Marine was completed on October 2, 2015. As of October 3, 2015 Nautic Global Group is no longer in the business of manufacturing and selling recreational boats and all employees were transitioned to the acquiring company.  To contact Nautic Global Group please refer to <a href="http://www.nauticglobalgroup.com/contact.html" target="_blank">Contact Us</a>.</blockquote>
