Ladies and Gents,

I just picked up my 2016 H260 a week or so ago, and we are very happy. We live in Washington DC and boat on the Potomac.
I traded in my 2007 Tahoe Q7i (bought new in my mid 20's when I had no idea what I was doing). Now that I've just bashed Tahoe, it was actually a great starter boat that never failed me. It was just too small (20') for the river.
Anyway, I did a lot of research for about a year or more before deciding on the Four Winns brand. Hope to have this boat for many years.

Not sure how to post a picture. :( EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT...

Just saying hello...

Nick

Welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see pictures of your new ride.

to post pictures, basically you need to host them somewhere else (like photobucket or similar), then put the link here using the "IMG" button. Size may be limited to 1024 wide and 768 high.

They really need to rethink that size limitation.

Nick:

Nice to see you on this site. I'd rather see pictures of your boat with you and your family having a great time -- but I've probably got a few of it sitting in front of my office.

Congratulations again, it is a really great boat that is loaded with features and options. If you need anything at all you know how to reach me. Hope you enjoy it for a long time -- unless you decide to go the cruiser route instead.

Congratulations and welcome! I don't know anything about boating on the Potomac, but I do know my H250 (predecessor to your boat) has met all my boating needs to date. Enjoy and be safe!

Thanks Mike. I figured out how to throw a few pics up. Liz has a bunch on her phone that Ill get from her and post here. We are out almost daily at this point (weather depending). I think we are happy at this point with the bow-rider over the cabin cruiser. (Maybe a 290 in our future????)

Congrats on the boat! I keep mine in a slip where you purchased from. I used to drool over that 260 every time I pulled in to the marina. Hope you have a great season with it!!
