Just got back from a couple of hours at the Toronto Boat Show. Nice to spend some time looking at all the beautiful boats on a freezing cold (-13 c) day! Four Winns was well represented with a large display right inside the entrance. I went aboard a nice V318 and a V278 but they had at least 12-15 models there including the 09 version of my 08 H210SS. The dealer I bought from was there and told me I picked a great time to buy my boat this past summer as the cheapest "show special" pricing on the '09 was about $9,000 more than I paid for mine six months ago. This is primariy due to the decline of the Canadian dollar over the past year.

I had been thinking already about upgrading to a small cruiser but I find the 278 too small for me and the 318 is not really in my budget (I like to pay cash for toys). Made me realize the 210SS is a really good boat for my needs and a lot of fun even if I can't sleep on it!

Lots of other great boats at the show including a 48' Fountain with triple 700 hp motors that they just sold at the show but had a video of it running at 86 mph!

The only thing I bought was an 8' boat hook that doubles as a bailer and washer. Very cool item - http://www.bridgenorthbailer.com/
