Hello All!

I spent some serious time on this forum before I purchased a Four Winns, so thank you all for the real world advice and experiences. We just picked up our 2012 H260 from the dealer on Saturday (10/13/12) and even got to go boating on Lake of the Ozarks before the storms came in. I have to say, what a nice boat! The fit, finish, ride, engine power, everything are top notch. Can't wait to get it on the lake next year!

I've attached a few pictures, have a great day!
Matt

Thank you! This boat almost feels like it's idling at 30 mph where my old boat was at it's cruise speed. I traded in a 1984 Century 5000, with a Merc 260/Alpha 1. Loved the old boat, but it was time to move on.

Nope, we don't full time at LOTO. We live in KC, MO and our friends have a lake house on the quiet side of the lake. We keep our boat down there since that's were we go most of the time, but we are better described at "trailer boaters". I have no problems pulling to other lakes. Haven't been on Table Rock yet, I've heard it's a NICE.

That made me giggle a little. Can't imagine they gave you more than a few hundred :lol:

I bet you weren't the only one laughing! But in reality, they gave me $6k. My '84 Century was a 9 out of 10 and 95% orginial. I had to take the marine mechanic and salesman on a ride before they would accept the trade, needless to say they were both impressed.

That Century looks to be in fantastic shape!

I'm in Olathe and we have a couple of other guys here who are in KCMO as well.

I did a quick search and seems the old Century price is right in line with what they asking online,
....ranged from 5 to 9k with most in 6k range......ric, you may want to find that dealer cuz those don't bob around like a cork.

Nice new boat selection ... and I think you will be happy with the megamotor...wow that's nice
