Seriously a built in grill on the 475? I want that! I think that boat may be bigger than my house, it's certainly nicer. And is that a swim platform or a back porch?

I said I would only look at a few of the pics....but had to look at them all.

Great work Four Winns!

You said you got the Stingray for $15,000 and need to put $1,000 in it to be worth 18-20K. 10K profit?

Does K mean hunderd? :wink:

Turned out it had a warranty that covers it's issues.. so no investment of $$ needed. I'm not counting tax/tag/title. It's actually worth 22-24 and I paid 14.

Yeah, looks like that stuff is gone.....at least for now!

You also said you were doing/adding the following:

Cruisair carry on AC with round hatch adapter
Honda/Yam 2000w inverter gen
New radio with bluetooth audio streaming
Polk MM651 speakers
Camper canvas
SS prop
KN marine air filter
Magma grill
Full LED lighting

That's a little more than warranty issues. You said you wanted to keep investment 'under NADA to avoid a loss' in resale.

And now it's worth 24K? ok

No big deal, and I wasn't trying to derail thread. I hope you make 10K...

You can't count moneys not spent yet. Radio I got factory recertified so right now I'm looking at around $120 invested. I have the grill already ( I had two ). AC of some sorts is canned until 2013 since fall/winter is so close but I do have a contact in NOLA that could ship me the AC in a briefcase for $500. LED's cost pocket change. The only real investment is the canvas and I'm in the search for a local canvas shop that wants to barter my IT services. That's how I get my eye checkups done, dental work, free bar tabs/food at the local clubs, etc. Labor for labor.

Do you have a link for where you can get this AC in briefcase for $500? I am very interested.

Looks like they have the owners manuals in the Customer Service area of the web site... but only back to 2002. And I don't see separate historical spec sheets anymore. :( I'm glad I downloaded my 2000 Owners Manual and Spec Sheet a month ago.

Dare I say it? I don't like the new "slab" styling. This is what a Horizon interior should look like, IMO
