Here is our upgrade from our 1998 Horizon. While the FW has served us well over the past few summers and it hurt to trade it in, we'll have a little extra room in our 2011 Yamaha AR210.

Congrats!!! Those boats are sweet!! A friend of mine bought one last season and LOVES it! He added the steering fins and said it made a night and day difference in low speed manuvering!

Nice boat, revs too high for my tastes, but I really like the layout on some of them. I like the tower!

Finally got to pick up my new boat and test ride over in Michigan. We had a beautiful day for a spin and ended up spending the day on the water.

Waiting at the dock:

After the 7 hour ride home on Friday.

Great looking boat. The Yamaha was going to be my next choice if I wouldn't have bought the Four Winns I have now.

Boat looks beautiful! Are you planning on keeping it at your house? Looks like it came with a nice factory cover. We are going to try and splash in the next week or two if the weather allows. Would love to take a look at the new ride this summer sometime. We spent a fair amount of time at the Yamaha dealer booth at the boat show this winter, pretty awesome boats it seems. Will be interested to see how you like it. See you around!

Matt
