Might as well join up. I dont plan on getting rid of the Four Winns any time soon. Heck, I havent even seen it in person yet! This project (detailed more in the thread "Another Project") is not my first Four Winns. My first boat was a 1988 160 Freedom, that we pulled from the showroom floor. I was 16 years old, and thought that boat was the key to fun! It was an OMC powered 4 cylinder, and, looking back now, was pretty small, but it introduced me to boating and to Four Winns. After a couple of PWCs and a disaster of a restoration on an '84 Invader 19' (had a "Stringer" outdrive...yikes!!), I was finally ready for another boat. Along comes "Trinity"...my $300 1998 220 Horizon. Looking forward to having her back ship shape by spring, and in the water by April.
