Just wanted to say hi, I just joined here. I have a 2001 Four Winns Horizon 190 with the 5.0. I have had a little over a year now and love it. Since I bought it I have added the tower and about a week after this pick added 2 batracks. They make the tower much more rigid, and also get those darned wakeboards off the floor.

Welcome! That boat looks real nice on that lake... Is that snow along the banks and higher in the hills? If it is your pretty hard core! :lol:
Keep that boat looking nice and don't forget to always refer to us for any questions you may have.

welcome Again!

yeah that was snow. That was her maiden voyage this year. I think it was the last weekend in April. The lake we go to is called Frenchmans Reservoir. Its at about 5500' elevation. The outside temp was about 70 and the water temp was about 50. Its just now finally starting to warm up. Gotta love the drysuit.

Welcome to the site. I have an H190 that I bought last Fall. Here in the NW we've only had three good boating days so far (and they were in May!!!) but this weekend is shaping up to be a great one. Gotta get back in the water!

Welcome skidooman, nice boat, looks like we share similar interests, Dodge diesels, and sleds, judging by your name what sled do you have?

Yeah, I had an older MXZ that I sold and got a Formula III 600. But have since sold that too. :( I should be back in the market for another here in the next year or two though, and I'm thinking Summit X 163. Its evil. :twisted:

No, I had the opportunity this last weekend, but didnt really have the cash. A good buddy of mine got his 04 on the dyno and laid down 840.2hp on fuel only. That was impressive.

yeah it was in redding, he has Industrial Injection racing twins, 66mm on top and a 81mm on bottom, II stage 2 cp3 on bottom and modded dmax pump on top. Smarty and Dr. P stacked chips that we couldnt get to play nice together. His rail pressure was only about 11k in the drag, time for some bigger cp3s. The motor is balanced with some super cam in it. He spun 4500 rpm on the dyno and 4200 in the sled pull. He also has a HTS fully build trans. Its a wicked truck.

Time to change your name to POLARIS!

I've been riding Indys since I was a little kid. I'm currently running an 800 XCR and a 800 XC when the temps do not allow for boating. I also spend MANY hours in a Case MTU 130 with a Arrowhead drag smoothing out all the bumps on the trails from those stupid high horsepower sleds too! I'm getting to the point where I am just as happy grooming as I am ridding.

Never!! haha j/k. I rode an Indy 500 a long time ago and it wasnt a bad sled. I've just had my skidoos in some bad spots, and have never had one do me wrong.
