The 25QFBA is a top-line Bennington model with the designer-style Bennington exterior and interior flash. With Yamaha\u2019s 350 hp outboard, the loaded price is a shade over $227,000, making this a statement, but also an investment in family fun.<\/p>\n

With the 350, the big 28-foot hull zips to 30 mph in 7.6 seconds and hits 48 mph. Using 90 percent of the optional \u00ad116-gallon fuel tank, range is a whopping 371-plus miles at 15.3 mph and 2,500\u00a0rpm\u00ad\u00ad\u2014that\u2019s 3.6 mpg and 4.3 gph. The 25-inch-diameter pontoons and Wave Tame undershield provide plenty of lift, especially over big-lake chop and crossing boat wakes, which it does with ease.<\/p>\n

The Q makes a big impression on approach: The sloped, contoured fiberglass enclosure states clearly that this is a refined craft. The Fastback design goes well with the electrically operated fiberglass power arch, which houses a standard \u00adfolding Bimini top.<\/p>\n

Inside, the cool-touch Phantom Black pillow-top furniture is accented with \u00adCarbon diamond-stitched embroidery and piping, giving a rich but subdued look. Shoreline Grey vinyl flooring is new for 2025, as is an optional forward-located in-floor anchor locker with a cleat for easy tie-offs.<\/p>\n

Seating is traditional facing loungers in the bow, with the same in the stern\u2014just with slightly shorter benches. The furniture is contoured to create more room yet provide an ample area for seating and lounging. The seat bases feature recessed toe kicks, with drainage channels to wick \u00adwater away from the storage \u00adcompartments.<\/p>\n

The molded windscreen keeps the \u00adpilot protected. The raised driver\u2019s console provides all the information ever needed about the boat\u2019s systems and the outboard, with flush-mounted 12-inch and 7-inch Vivid touchscreens and an optional 9-inch Garmin graph all in-dash, similar to a built-in head-up display. A Rockford Fosgate sound system is standard. Tilt hydraulic power steering controls the big Yamaha outboard. Aft, an extended deck with a standard LilliPad folding stainless-steel boarding ladder and an optional ski tow dominate the stern.<\/p>\n
