hi guys just purchased my first fourwinns, had a couple of bayliner 185's and a fletcher prior to this,
thought i would sign up as it seems to be the place for like minded knowledge sharing, always handy,

ticks every box for what i need it for,superb boat just wanted to see if anyone can spot any differences between mine as i havent managed to find an identical one around my local marina's or on the water anywhere only ever see vista's and the occasional older sundowner on ebay

shes a 1999 kitted with a volvo penta 4.3 gsi v6, sx drive with a stainless mercury enertia prop

also any ideas as to where i can get a swim platform shipped to the uk for a reasonable price?

Welcome ! Nice looking sundowner. Is that a 205 or do they call it the 215 over there? Popular boat here in the states, while they made them.

As far as swimplatforms go. I know Giffo had one shipped to NZ from the states for his H180. Shipping costs made it very expensive, but worth it in the end. This is where he got his.

Here in the states, for aftermarket ESP's, this is the place many people use.

You will love the swimplatform, and so will your mates

haha indeed!

i want a platform to add abit of length and to aid me with my wakeboarding/skiing and also so i can strap my dinghy to it to keep it out of the cockpit when on weekends away...aswell as my girlfriend and her freinds to swim off...Naked :lol:

thats my fear is that the shipping is going to make it big bucks $$$ :roll:

i did try and submit a request but something went wrong didnt know if there was an alternative to them to do abit of weighing up price wise, nothing like them here in the UK ! irritating!!!

lovely looking thing isnt she thanks, shes a 205 sundowner,

Welcome, to another UK Sundowner owner ! there's a few around, but not many. Where do you use your boat ?

That's a nice looking boat, but I'm biased of course ! Mine's a 2004 245, prior to that I had a 1999 225; your 205 looks very similar to that one ( except mine had no colour stripe).

I'm sure the 225 didn't have that white globe on the bimini top like you have in your first photo though !

If you strap your dinghy to keep it out of the cockpit, what is the point of naked girls swimming? :wink:

that was once the late Torquay seafront balloon! last october, bad weather did a good job of it in the winter it is no more!
i would like to upgrade to a 245 next, lovely bit of kit. i'd like it for abit more space and facility as im always on my boat and certainly make the most of it during the summer months cruising away

mines moored in torquay harbour Devon, guna take her out end of october and bring her home, roll on next summer!

I should move to the UK, ya'll are cuddy cabin fools I'd fit right in. Nice boat! Get that interior seat cushion recovered to a solid color, I just did mine. It totally changes the look/feel of the boat to something much more modern.
