| Post subject: | Introduction / first boat |
I've been thinking about buying a boat for a while, and in October I pulled the trigger on a barely used 07 Horizon 210. Got a couple of nice weekends when I first got it, and in another month or so the lakes in north Texas will be calling my name. Anyway glad I found this forum. I'll attempt to post a picture of the boat, and the method I came up with to keep my new toy from sinking...  If this is still here, don't unhook that strap!

Good idea on the drain plug. I never thought I'd use a similar technique until I launched one day last summer with the plug sitting at home on my workbench. Thanks to a friend who was paying attention, I was able to zip it right back on the trailer. Lesson learned. Now I tape the plug to the winch handle and carry a spare in the glovebox. |

Beautiful boat. Where do you boat at? We will be looking for members to meet up with this summer, our first summer in Texas. Looking forward to a long boating season. |

Troy, I'm in Dallas and the boat is on a trailer so the quick afternoon trips will be to Lewisville, Grapevine, Eagle Mountain. We'll throw in a few longer weekend trips as well Possum Kingdom, Palestine, Texoma...any other suggestions? What part of Texas are you in? |

See you TX guys out there. We'll be regulars on Lewisville as we live about 3 miles away, but plan on Texoma, PK and others in the area. If you get a chance take a trip down to Austin on Lake Travis. It is a beautiful Lake and you won't be disapointed. I say it's the closest thing to Table Rock in MO, which I find myself comparing every lake to now. |

Like the drain plug idea. How did you secure the wrench to the strap? Velcro? |
