The 190 is a great boat with lots of flexibility... big enough to handle most lakes... but small enough to tow easily to just about anywhere... with that 190 engine, you should do great!

Can't wait to see the pics and start hearing about what mods and improvements you do as you use the boat more and more...

Then there's the whole 2-foot-itis thing... hang on to the checkbook!

Smaller Boats!? H190 is definately nothing to dis. Nor is a 180 or shorter other name (are there still other names around?).
A smaller boat is something you take in the tub with you or hold in front of your face with one eye closed on the shore making the vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm noise while waving to everybody else roaring by and having a blast! :wink:
Once I got to see the 210 in person I was a bit concerned I may have over-did it - for where I boat anyway. I would have an H190 or 200 right now if I couldn't have got more for my money in the US.
YOU'RE RUNNIN' A FOUR WINNS MAN! Not everybody can say that! :D
Your only concern should be that lynchings get handed out if you tease a new boat and don't post pics . . .

Ya i would have to agree about Blessed's comment. Even a H180 can be taken out on the ocean with no problem. I boat in Nantucket sound and sure on some days you take a beating but if you stay close to shore you always feel safe. Before this boat we had a 17 foot bayliner that was even smaller and lighter. We would go all over the place and sometimes would encounter 5 or 6 foot seas. I would encourage everyone to give the ocean a try in your boats if you have the opportunity.

I'll be the first one to hand out verbal abuse to anyone making a snob comment about boat size. How many people don't have one at all?

That is one big thing I like about this site. Nobody is looking down at your for only having ** feet. We all enjoy what we have and are proud to represent FourWinns. It sure beats those folks WITHOUT a boat!
