Hello. My name is Alex from Minnesota. I bought a 2004 Four Winns 250 Horizon and paid $15k for it. I got it very very good deal. I think. V8 5.7L GXI 320 hp dual prop. Needs full detail (buff). It was in Florida. My bro and I picked it up. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Congratulations, and welcome to the forum Sound like a great deal.

How's the vinyl? I hope they kept those cockpit covers on and protected the interior.

Welcome. That was a great era for the big FW bow riders. You'll love it. One tip, you'll have noticeably less resistance while towing if you put the bimini down in the low position.

Now keep in mind, now that you posted your price on here...

Three years from now when you try to sell it for $17k, "Cap'n" will remember that you only paid $15k. He is our version of Detective Columbo

No, but I noticed you didn't have any Captain Morgan next to your cuervo:

Congrats on the purchase, looks like a nice boat. Seams like you got a great deal, I thought I had the cat by the tail a couple months ago when I bought a 06' 260 horzion with 130 hours for $24k.

We have a "local" dealer asking $45k for a 260 with the 496 merc, trailer not included in the asking price.
