Elkhart, Ind. – Bennington, North America’s leading manufacturer of luxury pontoon boats, announced today its 2026 QX model has been named one of the 2026 Boating Industry Top Products by the editors of the publication.

Organized and judged by the editorial team at Boating Industry magazine, the 13th annual Top Products awards recognized the marine industry’s newest and most innovative products and services launched in the last year. To be eligible for consideration, products or services must have been introduced or significantly updated since January 2025. The Boating Industry editors said the winning products were chosen based on many factors such as innovation, their impact on the industry, and how they help advance technology in their category.

“We are grateful to the team at Boating Industry for honoring Bennington’s QX pontoon,” said Michael Shedivy, general manager, Bennington Marine. “Innovation remains our core focus as the Bennington team strives to not only meet but far exceed the needs of our customers. The QX truly sets the bar as the pinnacle of luxury in pontoon boats.”

The QX introduces industry-first breakthroughs that transform the boating experience. The Commander Dash 2.0 integrates Vivid UX with optional new mapping features and a new co-captain display, premium Rockford Fosgate audio systems, and seamless feature integration into a single, intuitive interface—eliminating clutter and setting a new standard for helm technology and control.

Bennington’s commitment to innovation extends beyond design to performance and safety. The NMMA Innovation Award-winning retractable keeper rail and integrated fuel door are subtle yet revolutionary, enhancing security and convenience without sacrificing the QX’s sleek, uninterrupted profile.
