Hello all.

My name is Rob, this is my first boat, although growing up my family has always been a fan of Four Winns. I finally purchased my first boat this past weekend.

My boat is a 1989 180 Horizon 4.3l V6 with the OMC Cobra outdrive.

My dad has owned a 1987 190 Horizon, a 1989 205 Sundowner, and currently has a 2000 245 Sundowner. The 205 was my favorite due to the lines of the boat, hence the boat I purchased.


Thought I would share, and any info on other sites that can provide me with the service manuals and classifieds would be great!


Thanks!
-Rob

Welcome Aboard!

It's nice to see some of the older boats being recycled to new appreciative owners. Keep us posted on you trials and tribulations (if any) and we will try and help out as much as possible.

That boat looks pristine for it being almost 20 years old! Nice find!

Welcome to the forum, and nice boat. It looks to be in great shape! My grandpa has a Sundowner from that era...and I love the lines and colors on it. Looks like your boat.
