I have not seen this discussed anywhere on this forum that I can recall, but is there anyone organizing an annual Four Winns Rally? I know other boat owner communities do this, I was just wondering if anyone in the Four Winns community is doing this?

Last year a bunch of people from all different areas tried to put small groups together. To my knowledge it never happened. Four Winns doesnt sponsor anything either, that I am aware of. As far as I know only Sea Ray has something.

Crownline has a very active community. They do rallies in quite a few states, including a national rally each summer. Anyone else know of anyone organizing a Four Winns one? And no I don't want to be the primary one organizing, but I'll help. :mrgreen:

Our dealer does a FW Fun Run every summer in Chicago. We had about 25 boats last July.

Thanks Cap'n I did miss that. I'm originally from Michigan/Wisconsin, but live in TX now (10 yrs). I guess I should be soliciting the TX people to start one up for summer 2008. I think I'll hit up my Dealer when we pick up the boat and see if they are doing anything in TX this summer. I'll be on Table Rock Lake, MO from July 30th to Aug 2nd this summer. Anyone interested in hanging out or going for a cruise on TRL? It's about as centrally located of a destination as I could think of. It's a beautiful lake. It's got miles and miles of open runs with many coves that go for miles as well. I think that's 230 Mike's home turf.

Not really home turf, but definitely a must-go trip for a week each year. Haven't made definite plans yet this year, but if it falls during that time it'd be great to get together.

Once you've boated at TR, you won't be happy anywhere else. :D

Curious... Any idea if this is an open invitation? My wife and I have tossed up the idea of trailering to Chicago at some point (Maybe next year) and doing our own tour of the city and lake.

Geography is tough with this crowd. I'd like to see the KC area FW owners have a rally, but I'm the only one who actually boats in the KC area! :lol:

I'd do a KC version, but I don't have anywhere to store my boat here in town. My HOA doesn't allow boats in the driveways. I'd tell the HOA to get bent, but I'm the President. Probably be a bad example.

Paul, sounds like a great opportunity to lead by showing flexibility. :lol:

Then, I can have my HOA use yours as an example of how we should look to the future.

Hey Walt you think you feel isolated. One Fw dealer in Adelaide, and the nearest Fw boat to me is my neighbour up the river but if you guys ever decide to hole a rally in South Australia I will make an effort to get there . Apart from that please accept my apologies hehhe

OK, Ardy said it.... Once the water thaws, we'll head down river and meet up in New Orleans. From there we head to the Panama Canal, then a short ride across the Pacific to Australia. It's only a few inches by my globe, so can't be too far. C'mon everybody, Who's In?

Count me in, sounds like a blast. Is 40 gal of fuel enough for there and back?

Maybe we could have a bunch of mini rallies on the same day/weekend? I know that Flying Sushi comes to my neck of the woods (I'll bring the food he can bring the beer since I like the US Bud light and it is alot cheaper!!{Hey Sushi bring me acouple of extra 30 packs and I'll buy them from you}). We could all partner up, meet and get to know each other and then post the pictures!
