Just bought this leftover 07 yesterday. Will pick it up next week after they detail it and put the 2nd battery and switch in. First time Four Winns owner, first time Volvo/Penta owner. Wanted a boat to trailer to different lakes in Arkansas now that the family move here. Any suggestions or tips on this boat or set up.

Thanks to all the postings on this message board. I helped me understand my purchase. Hopefully I attached the pic correctly.

Congrats!

Bring your tool bag with you at least the first time out. I found a few rattles on the maiden voyage that were loose fastners. Post often!
Looks like you posted the image correctly, I'm having trouble with yours too. Try a different hosting site like photobucket.com
I'll host it for you for this post.

BTW, Someone winched your boat on incorrectly. The hook should be pulling the bow loop between the rollers.

When done correctly, both rollers will be resting on the bow scuff plate.

Good catch Brent!

Blues - have the dealer fix that before you take off too far!

Ya Mike, I don't think you can say that. :D

Though I agree that Beaver Lake is a fantastic place to go boating.

I really didn't mean it in a dyslexic way, but I kind of like that version too 8) .
