The Bennington 25 LTSBA is no longer the “newest” model in Bennington Marine’s lineup, but over the past few years it has proven itself to be one of the most popular and versatile pontoons in the L Bowrider Series. Designed with luxury, performance, and multi-purpose functionality in mind, this 25-foot pontoon has become a favorite among boaters who want it all—spacious comfort, powerful performance, and plenty of customization options.

Whether you’re cruising the Intracoastal, entertaining friends, or fishing with family, the 25 LTSBA offers a blend of style and capability that continues to stand out in 2025.

Boat Specs & Media

  • LOA: 27 ft 5.5 in
  • Pontoon Length: 24 ft 4 in
  • Deck Length: 26’ 8.5”
  • Fuel Capacity: 58 gallons
  • Weight: 3,867 lbs
  • Beam: 8 ft 6 in

With a wide beam and extended deck, this pontoon feels more like a floating living room than a traditional boat. The 25 LTSBA combines comfort with capability, giving owners plenty of space to relax while still delivering the horsepower needed for tubing, wakeboarding, and long cruises.

Performance & Engine Options

Ingman Marine exclusively offers Yamaha Outboards for new Bennington models. The 25 LTSBA can be paired with engines ranging from 115 HP up to 300 HP. For most boaters who want the full package—cruising, fishing, and watersports—Bennington recommends a 300 HP engine for top performance.

Performance packages, such as ESP (Elliptical Sport Package) or SPS+, add sealed lifting strakes and hydraulic steering for better handling, quicker planing, and enhanced agility on open water.

Interior Comforts & Features

Step onboard the 25 LTSBA and you’re greeted with the kind of comfort Bennington is known for. The standard interior package includes:

  • Radius Bow Furniture with soft-touch vinyl
  • Swingback Stern Lounger with multiple seating positions
  • Two-Tone Vinyl Furniture for a modern, upscale look
  • Pure Comfort Reclining Helm Chairs with integrated headrests
  • 2 Chaise Lounges for sunbathing or relaxation
  • Horizontal Diamond Pressed Upholstery for durability and style
  • In-floor Storage Compartments for watersports gear or fishing equipment
  • Captain & Co-Captain Seating for dual-helm comfort

These thoughtful touches create a space that feels just as good for entertaining guests as it does for a quiet afternoon cruise.

Exterior & Build Quality

Bennington pontoons are known for their durability and craftsmanship, and the 25 LTSBA is no exception. Highlights include:

  • Extended Aft Deck with integrated swim ladder
  • Full-Length Extruded Anodized Skirting for strength and sleek looks
  • Streamline Rail System with anodized rails and stainless-steel accents
  • Stainless Steel Cleats and Corner Castings for long-term reliability
  • Sport Arch or Bimini Top Options for shade and style

The V-Hull Performance Package and integrated underdeck spray deflectors help this pontoon cut smoothly through chop, making for a more enjoyable ride in varied conditions.

Helm & Console Technology

Modern boating calls for modern controls, and the 25 LTSBA delivers. The helm features:

  • 7" Bennington Vivid UX Display with integrated GPS speedometer
  • 12-Button Bennington Vessel Control Digital Switch Pad
  • Rockford Fosgate PMX-1 Headunit with premium audio
  • RGB Lighting Control for customizable mood lighting
  • Engine Data Display: speed, RPM, fuel, trim, and more
  • Low-Profile Windscreen & Custom Wheel with zebrawood accents

Optional upgrades include a Garmin GPS package, JL Audio subs, and a secondary aft stereo control for passengers.

Color Options & Styling Packages

One of the standout features of Bennington pontoons is how customizable they are from the exterior outward. The 25 LTSBA inherits the same flexible panel, accent, and color systems that let boat owners tailor looks to match their personality, lifestyle, or region.

Exterior Panel & Accent Colors

Bennington currently offers several exterior panel base colors and accent (trim) colors. Some of the available options include:

  • Sunset Red
  • Metallic Silver
  • Metallic White
  • Smokey Granite
  • Midnight Black
  • Metallic Platinum
  • Mediterranean Blue

When you build your 25 LTSBA, you’ll typically choose a base panel color (the primary side panels), then select accent panels or trim colors to coordinate or contrast. Accent choices help you highlight rail lines, upper edges, or accent stripes.

Accent & Specialty Styling Upgrades

Beyond panel colors, Bennington also offers:

  • Textured vs. Smooth Panel Finishes: Depending on model and package, you might choose a textured or smooth look for accent panels.
  • Blackout / Luxe Editions: Some Bennington models offer "Blackout Luxe" styling kits (dark trim, blackout logos, darker rails) for a more aggressive, modern look.
  • Custom Logo & Decal Options: You can upgrade to brushed-metal logos or dimensional logos to match the aesthetic.
  • Color-Matched Arch / Tower Components: For added flair, arches or sport towers can be matched to your panel or accent colors for a more cohesive visual.

Other Customization Options

Bennington offers one of the most customizable lines of pontoons on the market. With the 25 LTSBA, boaters can personalize nearly every detail:

  • Furniture Packages: Upgrade to pillow-top diamond pressed upholstery or add ottomans with coolers.
  • Towers & Arches: Select from folding sport arches with color-matched finishes.
  • Performance Add-Ons: Dual battery systems, hydraulic assist steering, or Yamaha stainless-steel separators.
  • Amenities: Privacy curtain, porta potti, ski tow bar, quick fender latch kits, inflatable mats, and premium dock kits.

This level of customization ensures that every 25 LTSBA reflects the lifestyle and personality of its owner.

Boating with a Pontoon

Pontoon boats are great multi-purpose vessels. Many boaters will tell you they are primarily used for cruising and ‘partying’, but don’t underestimate these beauties. While it is true that pontoons create a very enjoyable and relaxing experience for those looking to cruise and have a good time, it is also true that pontoons are a great option for even the most seasoned anglers. So, why are they so great for fishing?

First, they offer you enough space for your fishing trip. Unlike other boats, pontoons are known for their large and spacious decks, allowing for more people and/or more fishing equipment. Having all the space and the equipment for a fishing session sounds like a dream come true, doesn’t it? Pontoons are also very steady, so movement won’t affect any potential catch. Add to that the versatility of fishing in shallow and deeper waters, you have your own boat that lets you fish in style.

Don’t forget to grab your inner tube! Tubing, and even wakeboarding or water skiing, are great group activities that you can do right from your pontoon. Just make sure you have the right motor to handle the speed required for such activities.
