After taking out our '98 Horizon Rx out a bunch of times, my wife and I realized how small of a boat it was in a big lake like Winnipesaukee. We started to look at other Horizon models and tested a 2004 210, a 2005 200, and a 2007 210 SS.

We ended up trading in our 98 Horizon Rx at Winnisquam Marine in NH. The guys there were awesome. I dealt with Ryan and he took the time to take me out in multiple boats to test.

After taking out a few boats, we final took out a new left-over 2007 Horizon 210 SS. We love it! My wife drove across Winnisquam @ 60 MPH with a huge smile on her face. We also did a bunch of donuts at 40 MPH to get an idea on how it handled. After my wife drove and did her set of donuts with it, she was hooked as well.

Ryan did a lot to get us the maximum dollar for our trade and did a lot more to make sure the new 210 Horizon SS was fully discounted.

All I can say is that I wished all vehicle purchases went as great as ours did at Winnisquam Marine.

As for the new 210 SS, well, I still haven't been able to wipe the smile off of my face yet!!!! :mrgreen:

Put the picture of the new SS in my signature, I'll try and get some water shots soon!!!

I hear ya. If we lived closer, we could let them the wives take the SS out on a lake and it would speak for itself! :shock:

You're a brave man! :lol:

Seriously though, it wouldn't be a hard sell. I think my wife drives more than I do and has started launching this year. I just need to work out storage, tow vehicle, etc.

Ryan works his magic again. Traveled all the way down frome Eastern Canada to do buisness with him. First rate sales, service and kit.
She is a beauty - no question about it. The sea trials were a blast wern't they?

Nice find! That's a sweet boat!

You can be assured that you are getting a great deal and experience when you deal with Winnisquam! I went across the country (Seattle to NH) for our H240...

That Yellow boat looks H-O-T! You have a great wife who can appreciate that yellow color. Unfortunately, that didn't work on my wife!

That sure is a nice upgrade! To bad they don't make a 240 or 260 SS because I would have one of them in orange in a heart beat!

Congaratulations! Everybody here that owns one can't say good enough things about the SS package so get out there and enjoy it!

Congradulations - beautiful boat. My wife was the driving force on us getting our 210, but she wouldnt go the SS route. Enjoy.
