    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    I have to agree with the build quality of searay. I just personally wasn't a fan of the interior. You see many searay and crownline boats that are 20 years old and still in mint shape. Here's one out of left field, my father in law, who lives in FL, sent me a picture of a boat his buddy is...

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    Hahaha amazing I'm not a searay fan either. I keep wanting to like them because people speak so highly of them, but I can't bring myself to like the layout or the finishes. I would get a fourwinns again if I could find one. Barely any on the market. I've been very happy with it especially now...

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    I looked at the hurricanes. My boat is in for maintenance and they sell them. So of course when I said I was selling he was showing me theirs, and yes they are very nice. My issue is we are on the big 3 in the kawarthas and it gets choppy and often times see 40'+ boats with massive wakes. He was...

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    I agree with the interior getting cramped with an inboard, but most manufactures now have the same interior dimmensions with the OB and they use the engine compartment as storage. The seating arangement in those 2 boats I'm looking at make it more useable with the wrap around seating. I was...

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    Ok so I have a stupid question, when you read the boat specs do they count the platform as LOA? The regal specs say its 20', mine is just under 18'. The regal dry is around 3000 pounds. With the name 1900es I assumed it was 19' until I read the spec sheet which claims 20'. But ya I think you...

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    Ok thanks. I'll keep looking. Everything seems bigger out of the water. I remember thinking my 18' was big until I got it in the water with 4 of us.

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    The Chap was in New York. Well looked after but had too many hours for me. Had around 600 if I recall. I happened to see it when I was driving to FL. I wasn't really planing on upsizing at that time but saw it and stopped to see it. Kind of got me hooked. Lots of chaps in FL too, but I worry if...

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    Problem with the Regal, is it appears that's the biggest engine. And yes the chap I was eyeing had the 350 mag. I love the layout and the 12 person capacity. I like the Regal obx and vr6 Bayliner OB because you give up the swim platform but gain alot of storage space. Problem with the is most...

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    Hey guys, I have a 2014 fourwinns H180 with a 150 E-tec on it. We have outgrown the boat as we go with 4 adults and 5 kids (none over 50lbs). But as you can imagine, once we get a cooler and 2 tubes on the boat with bags of snacks etc we are pretty crammed. That being said, the boat/motor have...

    Driving advice

    Hey guys, I've been out racking up the hours on my fourwinns H180 150 etec, I have found its happy spot with trim and speed (30mph @ 3000 rpm, trimmed up 1/4 on the guage), but I ran into some rough spots from general waves and wakeboard boats and had to slow down to 25mph to keep the family...

    might buy this

    I've been searching hard for a boat this year and one popped up I really liked. Its a 2014 fourwinns h180 with the 115 etec OB. My question is, will this motor be good enough to move the boat? It's a far drive to go see if so I don't want to go to be disappointed. Is it better to look for a...

    Another newbie looking for a boat!

    Hey all, I have been reading all over this site and others for a few months now. It's getting time to pull the trigger on something. I'm not new to boating, but will be to ownership. First off, I'm in Ontario and will be mainly on lake muskoka. I had a Glastron GT170 with a 115 4 stroke for a...
