If the S-One is Bennington’s answer to “give me the popular stuff, packaged simply,” the S Line is the answer to “let me build it my way.”

It’s Bennington’s most flexible series — 16 to 25 feet, capacity from 6 to 15 people, up to 400 total horsepower, three distinct trim levels, and a long list of layouts, colors, and upgrades. Starting MSRP is $34,725.

For a lot of Oklahoma and Texas families, this is the sweet spot: real customization without stepping into the premium series pricing. Here’s how the S Line works and how to figure out which version fits you.

The Numbers

• Lengths: 16′ to 25′
• Capacity: 6 to 15 people depending on model and layout
• Horsepower: up to 400 total HP
• Starting MSRP: $34,725

That range is the point. A 16′ S Line and a 25′ S Line are genuinely different boats serving different families, and both live under the same series with the same build quality underneath.

Three Trims: Standard, Sport, and Luxe

This is the first real decision, and it’s less about better-versus-worse than about what you actually want out of the boat.

Standard — from $34,725

Classic Bennington styling and the features people actually use, without paying for extras that sit unused. If your priority is getting a well-built pontoon on the water and you don’t need a touchscreen helm, Standard is not a compromise — it’s a deliberate choice, and it’s where the value lives in this series.

Sport — from $53,980

Sport-inspired furniture styling paired with the technology upgrades: Vivid UX digital display, wireless charging, and a fiberglass helm. This is the trim for buyers who want the boat to look and feel athletic, and who care about the helm experience.

Luxe — from $53,980

Same upgraded technology package as Sport — Vivid UX, fiberglass helm, wireless charging — but with premium furniture styling that leans sophisticated rather than sporty.

Sport and Luxe start at the same price. The choice between them is purely aesthetic, which is refreshing: you’re picking a look, not negotiating a feature tradeoff. Sport if you want the boat to read athletic. Luxe if you want it to read refined.

What’s New for 2026: Click & Cruise

This one is worth understanding because nothing else on the market works quite like it.

Click & Cruise is an integrated, tool-free accessory rail system — and it’s built into the boat itself rather than bolted on afterward. It’s now standard on all 2026 S Line models. You can mount, move, or remove Click & Cruise accessories in seconds without tools.

Practically: the boat you rig for a fishing morning can be reconfigured for an afternoon with the family in about a minute. For a series built around customization, it’s a genuinely useful addition rather than a spec-sheet feature.

Vivid UX Display System

Available on Sport and Luxe trims, Vivid UX is Bennington’s digital display and control system. It consolidates navigation, boat systems, and controls into one touchscreen interface at the helm.

Whether it’s worth the step up to Sport or Luxe depends on how you boat. If you’re running open water, tracking depth, and managing systems while underway, having it all in one screen genuinely reduces workload. If you’re mostly cruising a familiar cove, the Standard helm does the job fine.

How It’s Built

A few construction details worth knowing, because they show up in how the boat feels rather than how it looks:

• Multichambered tubes and a reinforced deck structure — these improve stability and how the boat handles rough water, which matters on Grand Lake or Lake Texoma more than it does on a calm morning
• Simtex Soft Touch vinyl — a noticeably softer, more premium feel than standard marine vinyl, and it holds up
• Redesigned helm with more accessible controls, built to reduce fatigue on longer days
• Signature bow sweep — the athletic silhouette that makes an S Line recognizable from across the marina

S Line or S-One? How to Choose

This is the question we field most often, and the answer is usually clear once you know what someone wants.

Choose the S-One if you want the most accessible way into a Bennington and you’re happy with a curated package of popular options. It starts at $28,403 and comes with Garmin EchoMap, Bluetooth audio, and wireless charging standard. We covered it in detail in our S-One article.

Choose the S Line if you want to make real choices — length beyond 22′, more layout options, more color and upholstery combinations, higher horsepower capacity, and the ability to spec the boat around how your family actually uses the water.

The gap between them is about $6,300 at the entry point, and what you’re buying with it is flexibility. Some families need it. Plenty don’t. We’ll tell you honestly which camp you’re in.

Why Buy Your S Line from Nichols Marine

We’ve been an authorized Bennington dealer since 1997 and family-owned since 1972, now in our third generation. Nearly 30 years with one brand means our team knows the S Line trim differences, layout tradeoffs, and horsepower questions without having to look them up.

Every location is backed by certified service technicians credentialed by Mercury Outboard, MerCruiser, Yamaha, Ilmor, and Volvo Penta — so wherever you buy, you have local support for as long as you own the boat.

On a series this customizable, the dealer conversation matters more than usual. Getting the trim, length, layout, and horsepower right the first time is the difference between a boat you love and one you trade in two seasons early.
