Well everyone... We sold our 1994 Four Winns 180 Horizon. We just put down a deposit on a new 2008 Centurion Avalanche. So I will be visiting this site a lot less frequent. Good luck to everyone! If you need/want to talk, just PM me and I will get an e-mail.
Here are pics of our new boat.





Thank you to everyone that has helped me out!
Be safe!
Troy

Thank you!!! Yes the boat is nice!! and it looks better in person than in pictures. I originally didn't want those graphics but when I seen it in person I fell in love! I can't wait until summer. It will be a couple of weeks before we actually get the boat, the dealer has a couple of items I want them to fix before I take delivery of it. I am so stoked over it though. Thanks again!
P.S. Blue is mine and the wifes favorite colors. LOL

We are not into sking, but if we were I really like it! Plus that would handle our water to well I don't think.

What is that brass thing underneath?

Ski boats have inboard direct drive engine so the brass thing is the steering rudder. Friend has a Mastercraft that is set up the same way and they really turn on a dime.

As long as they are under power they do. It takes a little more skill to drive than a stern drive boat. Also, they do not manuever as well in reverse (not that any single screw boat does). It will take some getting used to for them I am sure, but if you are into real water sports, its the only way to fly.

I was of course being cheeky, I like to tease friends who own Corrects, Nautiques, Malibus and Master Crafts about their Lobster boat drives - to which they usually reply something about being the time for me to change the oil in my lower unit. Yes V-drives and in-line drives pull like horses, and can make as little or as much make as you want with a wedge and balast, and yes they turn on a dime, as long as your going forward.

What an amazing boat. You will love it.

Thank you all! Yes we love the water and really got into Wakeboarding last summer. Plus our son just turned 2 in December and I feel he is safer with the prop up underneath the boat. Our Four Winn's, if Blake would jump off the back he had a good chance to hit the out drive, Now there is no chance of him hitting the prop. Plus he loved our friends inboard boats with the swim platforms on the water, he could sit on the platform and have his feet in the water, he couldn't do that with our old boat.
Thanks again!
Troy, Allison and Blake.
