A well-maintained Bennington pontoon can last 20 years or more. Bennington builds its boats with strong aluminum tubes and frames that resist corrosion, which is a big reason the brand holds up over time. As with any boat, how long a Bennington lasts depends on care: rinse it after use, especially in saltwater, service the engine on schedule, store it out of the sun, and fix small issues before they grow. The aluminum structure itself can last for decades, while seats, flooring, and electronics may need refreshing along the way. Treated well, a Bennington stays on the water for a very long time.
