Re: What model and where ya from?

I've got a 2001 248 Vista w/ a Volvo Penta 5.0 and a twinprop. We have lots of fun with it, but we don't use it to it's fullest capacity. Hopefully, the more we use it, we'll actually start to USE it....if that makes sense.

I have an '03 245 Sundowner, 8.1 ltr Volvo Penta double prop, I love this boat.<br /><br />I keep it here in Orem, but run it mostly at Lake Powell. Stay on my houseboat there. It is what I live for these days, a trip to Powell.<br /><br />Spud

Howdy all!<br /><br />This is great! a FourWinns Only thread!<br /><br />I have a (New to me) 1987 211 Liberator with a 340hp OMC King Cobra I/O. It really goes!<br /><br />The good thing is that I bought it from my brother (for very little!) who bought it new, took excellent care of it, always parked it inside, and never used it in salt water!(well maybe once back in the early 90's).<br /><br />I'll probably install a fresh water cooling system and maybe do a little upholstery repair/work and run the bejeebers out it!<br /><br /><br />Cheers, <br /><br />Rick<br />Western WA

Re: What model and where ya from?

Wow, it’s been a while since I was at iBoats! Glad I scrolled down on the main forums menu and saw the individual boat lines listed. <br /><br />I have a ’96 Horizon 200 DLX. Volvo Penta 5.0 DuoProp. Had her for a couple of seasons now. Very nice, very reliable, very comfortable boat. <br /><br />When it comes time to find the next boat, Four Winns will be one of the names at the top of my list.<br /><br /><br />We live and do most of our boating in northwest Indiana. Also make a trip or two each year into western Michigan.<br /><br />-FloatingCPU

Re: What model and where ya from?

I would post a picture of my 4 Winns but this site isn't too kind in letting me do that, unless I'm missing something here.<br /><br />Anyways, second season with the boat forthcoming. Bought with a frozen block and put in another 4.3 litre for about 2.7k with installation. Hull in good shape for a 90' model and I've got a big list of spring tasks to make her look brand new again. The hull is only one step away from that look now.<br /><br />We keep her on Skaneateles Lake here in the Finger Lakes just 25 minutes west of Syracuse. January been warm enough this year to actually think about a ride on the lake but don't feel like re-winterizing her. Happy boating dreams this winter.

Re: What model and where ya from?

youmansjason~ I am looking at buying a 1999 Four Winns 180 Horizon. It is in pretty good shape and has the sport seating with the Volvo 4.3L engine and outdrive. I do not know much about Four Winns (although I heat they are pretty decent boats) and would like your thoughts on the 180 Horizon. The guy is asking 13,500 for the boat...<br /><br />I guess it might help to tell you what I will be doing with the boat. I am a wakeboarder so I will be putting a tower on it and mostly pulling guys wakeboarding. We also like to put three tubes behind the boat and beat each other up a little!! Think this is a good boat for this sort of thing?? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

'95 238 Vista OMC 5.0 EFI (Ford)/SX. Bought last spring. Put in new manifolds & risers and just rewired the major elctrical with a Blue Sea Dual Circuit Plus (http://www.bluesea.com/). This is the way to go! Lost of other little things like new toilet water pump etc.<br /><br />I love the boat. Hoping to spend more time on the water than fixing things this season :)<br /><br />-Mike

Re: What model and where ya from?

I'm not sure I qualify as a Four Winns owner yet, as we don't take delivery of the new 2006 Horizon 180 until late in June, but if the boat behaves like many of the places I've checked, it will be an amazing boat to use here in Ontario (cottaging in Gravenhurst, to be specific) <br /><br />Anyone else with opinions on the 180?

Got my first boat a few weeks back. Picked up a 2001 Horizon 190 w/ 5.0GL and love the boat so far. I do most of my boating in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area. (i.e. Flint Creek and Paul B. Johnson State Park)<br />

2001 Horizon 170 3.0. Bought new in 2002.

We boat in Ontario, North Bay and Muskokas.

We love the boat and our dealer, We will definitely buy FW again. My only b!tch is the number of gel coat cracks. They seem to have multiplied exponentially this past winter..
