80's.... we'd be lucky to see that only a few days a year.
Average here in dead of summer is in the low to mid 70's F.
As for snowmobiling, its highly over rated... and expensive.
I live in the snowbelt and gave up snowmobiling about 5 years ago. Several mild winters in a row and the cost of the sport made it a waste of money.... that I'd rather spend on gas for the boat. :D :D :D

Yesterday, we finally took out our brand new H260 on water for the first time. It was a sunny and beautiful day at lake but almost no other boats around (where are they?)
Everything went great (including exceptional services by my dealer) and our new boat is better than we expected……… We hope to see you on water ! :D :D :D

:shock: Damn that looks sweet in blue. I'd love to have the resources (cash & dock) for a 240 but a 260? Pretty far outta my league though. So hows something that size run - pull hard?

Nice ride. Did you get the blue to stand out a little? Lots of red boats & covers in that marina :wink:

Sushi, Beautiful boat. Not to detract from it, I thought I would point out that your bimini cover is on backwards. Four Winns logo should be visible when looking at the boat from behind (for instance when following a trailered boat down the road). Also keeps inscect guts off the logo's white lettering when trailering.

The logo is facing forward because I have a camper canvas and it will be covered up when they are folded up. There is another extension small Bimini (not shown in the picture) will go on the back side of main frame and this has another cover with logo to go with it. Therefore dealer put logo facing forward. For 07 model, this set up came with one big cover (take a look at the red boat next mine) however, for 08 model, FW. decided to use 2 covers (at least mine came that way) although if I leave it out extension frame as shown this picture then I would turn the cover around and make the logo facing back.

Blessed. The boat performs very well. The 260 is not as big as many people think and it pull very hard especially with 8.1DP. I only test drive 5.7s and I was ok with going with 5.7 but now I know I made a right choice. It is very stable and you do not feel the speed when we are just cursing around. But if I give it will take off. We were cruising 45mph and if I punch it the boat will pull hard all the way to mid 50s very quick. (with F6 prop) I am very happy with my purchase. :D

Hey, I noticed something . . . In the pic that I guess is your young fella riding in the bow; the vinyl that they use to trim up the seat faces has often been carmel color as of the last few years. In yours they matched the faces to the piping and stripe color - nice touch. Personally I wondered what made them do that in the first place - matching the seat trim to the carpet color rather than the vinyl trim color. Are your bolster helm seats and bench matched with the blue rather than the carmel also?
In some ways FW reminds me of VW cars. Quality product but no real hard and true specification to the pieces they assemble with. More or less they use what they have at the time which seems to change. A VDub on one lot can be different fom the same model and trim level on the lot next door. I have noticed in pictures at least 3 different versions of the bolster seats in the SunSport 210s for the 08 model year - some look a little fancier than others. Strange.

Sushi, I see your boat has the "2006" sport graphics. Cool! (Not that I'm biased) What did it take to get the old "swoosh" stickers in lieu of the current 2008 graphics?

We like 06 Graphics so much that we order a new boat with just Classic Color band without 08 graphic on it. Then we order a set of 06 Sports Graphic as a parts and installed them ourselves (Dealer)…..
