The Bennington 24 MFB is the large social M-Series size that gives adult crews noticeably more deck length while remaining below the 28-foot-plus overall footprint of the 26 in Fastback Quad Bench form.
At 26’3″ overall, the 24 M is the large-volume choice in the M family, publishing 26’3″ overall and showing up in a deep current dealer market. For families considering the Fastback Quad Bench, it is a serious family platform before any performance option is added. The MFB version is defined by the fact that four dedicated chaise zones give adults multiple places to sit without asking anyone to flip or reconfigure the main stern seat.
For a 24 MFB buyer, the M Line sits above Bennington’s S and L families as a premium-luxury choice built around personalization, upgraded technology, storage, and a more sculpted exterior. Bennington currently offers Standard, Sport, and Luxe trim paths, so even two 24 MFB boats can look and feel different at the helm and in the furniture.
Within this large Fastback purchase, the floorplan is the clearest reason to select this page. The 24 MFB is a four-chaise social layout that keeps conventional bow and aft lounge seating while using Bennington’s Fastback stern to extend the entertainment area toward the water. For families considering the Fastback Quad Bench, for the right family, four dedicated chaise zones give adults multiple places to sit without asking anyone to flip or reconfigure the main stern seat.
Within this large Fastback purchase, the 24 is large enough that storage, trailer, lift, fuel, and engine choices become recurring ownership costs rather than small details after the purchase.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.
The published LOA for the current 24 MFB is 26’3″. That is the number a 24 MFB buyer should use when planning dock space, because Bennington’s nominal model size is shorter than the actual boat once the M-Line deck and stern architecture are included.
On this large Fastback chassis, the 26-foot-3-inch published LOA makes the 24 a big pontoon in practical terms. On this large Fastback chassis, marina slips, lifts, tow-vehicle comfort, and winter storage should be priced before the larger lounge area becomes emotionally difficult to give up.
On this large Fastback chassis, a conventional deadrise number does not belong here. The 24 MFB rides on aluminum pontoon or tritoon tubes, and the underwater package can be materially different depending on how the boat was ordered.
On this large Fastback chassis, because tube choice affects buoyancy and engine rating, one generic weight or passenger number would be misleading. The capacity plate on the actual 24 MFB should be photographed during the purchase process and used to verify allowable people and power.
On this large Fastback chassis, the M-Line extended aft deck also deserves a structural look. On this large Fastback chassis, it carries swimmers and frequently becomes a high-traffic staging area, so hardware, ladder mounts, and stern structure should feel solid.
Maximum Horsepower: Configuration-specific; M Line supports up to 500 HP on compatible models
The 24 MFB uses single-outboard power, but Bennington does not force one universal engine onto the floorplan. On a 24 MFB build, the tube package and capacity plate determine what belongs on the transom.
The 24 MFB can be built as a conventional pontoon or a stronger tritoon configuration, and that choice changes the entire performance discussion. With the normal 24 MFB crew aboard, Bennington’s current performance lineup includes Express for lighter power, SPS for three-tube performance around four-cylinder engines, SPS Plus for stronger single-engine builds, and ESP for higher-output applications.
Service access remains straightforward because the propulsion is outside the 24 MFB. Check engine serial number, hours, lower-unit oil, trim, propeller, skeg, steering, anodes, and cooling history on any used or demonstrator 24 MFB.
If the 24 MFB carries SPS, hydraulic steering is part of the performance story. With the normal 24 MFB crew aboard, steering should feel smooth with no visible hydraulic leaks or excess play.
On a 24 MFB build, ESP and other higher-output builds deserve close attention to engine mounting, transom reinforcement, power steering where fitted, and whether the actual propeller allows the engine to reach its intended operating range.
The 24 MFB does not have one honest fuel-capacity figure for every configuration. With a 24 MFB under normal family load, Bennington’s tube packages can use different tank arrangements, and the performance catalog specifically notes a 32-gallon transom tank on select SPS models.
For 24 MFB fuel planning, higher-output packages may use different center or transom fuel systems, so the tank on the actual boat should be confirmed from its build information instead of borrowed from another listing.
When estimating range for the 24 MFB, for shopping purposes, ask for engine-specific performance data and note the cruise speed your family actually prefers. With a 24 MFB under normal family load, that is more useful than a single full-throttle number.
On this 26’3″ M, a day spent idling through coves and anchoring for lunch can be surprisingly light on fuel. When estimating range for the 24 MFB, a day of repeated watersports acceleration with twelve people aboard can use the same tank very differently.
A full 24 M can carry a serious amount of passenger and gear weight. For this large Fastback, engine and performance-package choices should be judged with that loaded use in mind rather than from a nearly empty dealer demonstration. The Fastback layout keeps passenger weight distributed across four lounge zones, so the driver should test the 24 MFB with people in both aft chaise and the bow rather than keeping everyone beside the helm.
The 24 MFB should also be driven slowly. During a 24 MFB sea trial, large pontoons spend plenty of time approaching docks, fuel piers, lifts, and crowded ramps. Confirm steering response in reverse and learn how wind moves the broad side of the 24 MFB.
The 24 MFB is a Fastback Quad Bench model. Around this large Fastback social deck, the current layout centers on two bow chaise lounges with armrests and two aft Fastback chaise lounges. Around this large Fastback social deck, that gives the family four recognizable lounge zones instead of asking the aft furniture to change direction during the day.
In the Fastback Quad Bench floorplan, the fixed seating approach is useful for a crew that boards with bags, towels, and coolers because each chaise can keep its storage role without being converted into a sun pad. For day-to-day 24 MFB use, passengers can separate into bow and stern groups while the center aisle stays open for movement.
The Fastback stern also gives the 24 MFB a more finished rear profile than a basic box-fence pontoon. Around this large Fastback social deck, Bennington uses that area as part of the entertainment design, not simply as the place where the outboard hangs.
For day-to-day 24 MFB use, this layout is especially convincing for owners who host several adults. Inside the 24 MFB, nobody needs permission to move a backrest before sitting down, and the four-chaise geometry is easy to understand at a glance.
The 24 MFB deck should be tested with the real crew. Around this large Fastback social deck, sit in every lounge, open storage, walk through the gates, and decide whether the stern works when several people want the water at once.
7-Inch Vivid UX Main Display – Bennington positions Vivid UX as a core M-Series helm system, providing vessel information and integrated control in a modern interface.
Bennington pairs the main display with a dedicated vessel-control interface for lighting, audio, and frequently used boat functions.
M models use an extended aft deck to create more usable room behind the furniture for boarding, swimming, and watersports setup.
The extended stern is paired with Bennington's LilliPad boarding ladder, giving swimmers a purpose-built way back onto the boat.
Bennington equips current M models with a premium six-speaker Rockford Fosgate system, supporting the line's entertaining focus.
Veneto upholstery gives the M Line its premium seating feel and distinguishes the interior from Bennington's lower price tiers.
The 24 MFB uses four chaise positions with Fastback aft seating, making fixed lounge space the core deck feature.
The Fastback treatment carries the social experience toward the rear of the boat and pairs naturally with the extended aft deck.
When inspecting a 24 MFB, run the six-speaker Rockford Fosgate system at normal and higher volume. When inspecting a 24 MFB, listen for a weak channel, rattling speaker, or amplifier behavior that suggests voltage or wiring problems.
For this Fastback Quad Bench boat, deploy the Bimini or arch equipment fitted to the specific boat. On a used or demo 24 MFB, check mounts, canvas, hinges, gas-assist hardware, and clearance around the furniture.
Behind the premium finish of this large Fastback, inspect the extended aft deck, LilliPad ladder, gates, hinges, and seat bases for movement. On a used or demo 24 MFB, these areas see constant traffic on a family pontoon.
When inspecting a 24 MFB, finally, inspect the trailer or lift. For this Fastback Quad Bench boat, a premium interior does not compensate for old tires, weak bearings, brake problems, or a lift that supports the tubes incorrectly.
The 24 MFB publishes 26’3″ overall, and that is only the starting point for storage planning.
For storing the 24 MFB, the 26-foot-3-inch published LOA makes the 24 a big pontoon in practical terms. With 26’3″ of published LOA, marina slips, lifts, tow-vehicle comfort, and winter storage should be priced before the larger lounge area becomes emotionally difficult to give up.
For a lift or trailer serving the 24 MFB, lift capacity must include boat, engine, fuel, batteries, and stored equipment. For a lift or trailer serving the 24 MFB, bunk or cradle placement should match the actual pontoon or tritoon configuration and avoid interfering with strakes or center-tube hardware.
For a lift or trailer serving the 24 MFB, the 24 is large enough that storage, trailer, lift, fuel, and engine choices become recurring ownership costs rather than small details after the purchase. That consequence should be solved before financing makes the 24 MFB feel easier to own than it really is.
The gallery should make it impossible to confuse this 24 MFB with its sibling floorplan. For the 24 MFB gallery, show the four-chaise geometry and Fastback stern, the actual tube package, the installed outboard, and the helm configuration instead of relying only on generic M-Series beauty shots.
The 24 MFB has a broad current market, with dozens of 2025 through 2027 examples nationally. Listings range from simpler builds to SPS, SPS Plus, ESP, Sport, and Luxe configurations, so the advertised number is often describing much more than the deck length.
For current 24 MFB inventory, the redesigned M family is young enough that many listings are still new or nearly new.
The first adjustment is floorplan. The 24 MFB is a four-chaise social layout that keeps conventional bow and aft lounge seating while using Bennington’s Fastback stern to extend the entertainment area toward the water. A 24 MFB buyer who wants that exact stern should not value the sibling layout as an interchangeable substitute.
Trim matters as well. Standard, Sport, and Luxe paths can change furniture styling, helm treatment, display equipment, lighting, and finish without changing the 24 MFB badge.
On a used or demonstrator 24 MFB, condition can erase an apparent bargain. For current 24 MFB inventory, tube damage, poor trailer maintenance, upholstery wear, or uncertain outboard service can cost more than the discount.
The strongest value is the 24 MFB whose floorplan and chassis already match the household. In the 24 MFB market, paying less for the wrong stern arrangement usually creates a more expensive ownership mistake.
Illustration only and not an offer of credit.
For this large Fastback build, a base pontoon and a heavily optioned tritoon can share the same model code while sitting tens of thousands of dollars apart. When comparing 24 MFB payments, run the calculator on the negotiated purchase, not the starting MSRP or a dealer’s promotional payment.
Illustration only and not an offer of credit. Your actual rate and term depend on credit profile, vessel age, loan amount and ownership structure.
The first comparison for the 24 MFB is the 24 MSB. At this 26’3″ size, both share the same published 26’3″ LOA and the same M-Series technology and trim environment, but the stern works differently.
When cross-shopping the 24 MFB, the 24 MFB uses Fastback quad-bench seating. At this 26’3″ size, it is the better choice when four fixed chaise zones, familiar passenger seating, and predictable under-seat storage matter most.
At this 26’3″ size, the 24 MSB uses an aft sun pad with a reversible Swingback backrest. It is stronger when the family spends significant time anchored or facing activity behind the 24 MFB.
After the 24 MFB floorplan comparison, look at the 23 or 26 M size. At this 26’3″ size, the 24 is large enough that storage, trailer, lift, fuel, and engine choices become recurring ownership costs rather than small details after the purchase.
At this 26’3″ size, do not choose from price alone. When cross-shopping the 24 MFB, a cheaper sibling with the wrong stern layout or the wrong physical size can remain annoying for years after the purchase.
Buying a 24 MFB starts with the full build, not the badge.
Before committing to the Fastback Quad Bench, confirm that the listing is actually the MFB floorplan. For a serious 24 MFB shopper, dealer titles can use phrases such as M Quad Bench, Fastback, or M Swingback instead of the exact code, and online listings do not always group them consistently.
Before committing to the Fastback Quad Bench, verify the published LOA of 26’3″ on the build information. When buying a 24 MFB, that protects the slip, lift, and storage decision before money changes hands.
On a 24 MFB purchase inspection, finally, compare the sibling floorplan and adjacent size. For a serious 24 MFB shopper, the Fastback layout is less transformative than Swingback. On a 24 MFB purchase inspection, it favors fixed lounge availability and storage over the MSB’s reversible aft sun pad. On a 24 MFB purchase inspection, the 24 is large enough that storage, trailer, lift, fuel, and engine choices become recurring ownership costs rather than small details after the purchase. For a serious 24 MFB shopper, if either issue sounds more important than the feature you are buying, change models before financing.
The 24 MFB is a large social pontoon with a published LOA of 26 feet 3 inches, and its deep dealer inventory gives buyers unusual freedom at this size. There is no good reason to settle for the wrong chassis or trim when comparable Fastback boats can be found nationally.
Four fixed chaise zones suit a large adult crew because nobody needs to convert the stern before sitting down. The extra deck length creates more breathing room around the helm and gates, which is exactly what a family should verify before paying the storage and trailer costs that come with this size.
Compare the 24 to the 23 and 26 on ownership logistics, not only seating. The 24 often lands in the practical middle: substantially more room than the 23, yet not quite the 28-foot-3-inch commitment of the 26. That balance can be more valuable than simply buying the largest M within the payment budget.
If you have already found a 24 MFB, start your application with the actual details and purchase price.
A 24 MFB can vary substantially by performance package, outboard horsepower, Standard versus Sport or Luxe trim, electronics, arch equipment, trailer, and dealer-installed options. On this Fastback Quad Bench version, the floorplan should be normalized before two prices are compared.
Bennington’s current specifications list the 24 MFB at 26’3″ overall. That is longer than the nominal size in the 24 MFB name. For the 24 MFB, use the published LOA plus the completed trailer and outboard position when choosing a slip, lift, storage building, or tow setup.
For a 24 MFB shopper, the exact passenger rating varies by configuration. Bennington markets the M Line across a 10-to-15-person range, but the capacity plate on the specific 24 MFB is the correct legal figure because tube package, weight, and engine configuration can change the rating.
Horsepower is configuration-specific. For a 24 MFB shopper, Bennington currently markets the M Line up to 500 horsepower on compatible models, while lighter Express and SPS packages are designed around lower engine ranges. For the 24 MFB, use the exact capacity plate and performance package before selecting or valuing the outboard.
With this 26’3″ M, the MFB is the Fastback Quad Bench layout with four chaise zones. For a 24 MFB shopper, the MSB replaces the fixed aft pair with a sun pad and reversible Swingback backrest. For the 24 MFB, choose MFB for straightforward fixed social seating and MSB when aft-facing lounge use matters enough to justify the moving stern furniture.
On this Fastback Quad Bench version, it can be if loaded performance, watersports, stronger turns, or rougher-water composure are recurring needs. For the 24 MFB, SPS uses three full-length 25-inch tubes with performance hardware and hydraulic steering. For a 24 MFB shopper, ESP adds an elliptical center tube for higher-output applications. On this Fastback Quad Bench version, relaxed cruisers may not need the additional cost.
On this Fastback Quad Bench version, inspect the aluminum tubes, welds, strakes, underdeck hardware, outboard, steering, Vivid UX system, audio, seat mechanisms, extended aft deck, LilliPad ladder, canvas or arch equipment, and trailer. On the MFB, pay special attention to the four-chaise geometry and Fastback stern because that floorplan hardware is central to the 24 MFB’s value.
Potentially. Financing depends on the 24 MFB’s model year, value, condition, purchase amount, seller type, and borrower qualifications. For a 24 MFB shopper, start your application with the actual details so the loan conversation reflects the engine, performance package, trim, and floorplan being purchased.
