Bentley Elite 253

Bentley has stepped into the future with their new Elite 253.

By Robert Stephens

The company that shook up the pontoon industry just a few years ago with turn-back-the-clock prices has stepped into the future with the new Elite 253. Bentley scrapped the past and started from scratch.

The solid-color paneling and matching rails caught our eyes immediately. This high-end appearance carries into the upholstery and captain's chair, all with more-comfortable pillowing than your average boat. They've also kept up with the growing trend toward people pleasure at the transom by including two rear swim ladders, a stereo remote and drink holders. Hydraulic steering and underskinning are standard on the Elite 253, making it as fun to drive as you see here.

Apollo checking out the action at Lake Shelbyville, IL

Our German Shorthaired Pointer, Apollo, always likes to keep tabs on his people, so when one of us would walk around to the bow, he'd run into the cabin and pop his head up through the hatch to see what we were up to!
