Well I wanted to thank all the members for the help they gave over the past few weeks. I went to test the 04 H230 on Sunday and bought it on the spot. Boat is in great shape and ran perfect.

Oil was perfectly clean after 45 min test drive. Gear case oil is fresh. Motor showed no leaks and sounded perfect. Ran an indicated(Dash speedo) 50MPH at 5K RPM.

Good oil pressure and good water temps. No visible blisters or major scratches.

I also wanted to thank Ryan at Winnisquam for going out of his way to offer information and help. He was even sending emails to me at 11:00 at night with ideas and offers to help.

The impeller is a few years old and is due to be changed but other than that it just needs a good coat of wax.

the old f150 towed it beautifully as well. 65MPH on the highway was no problem.

I'll try to figure out how to load a picture..

Thanks!!!

Green must be a very popular colour in NH! My H260 is green too and it came from NH (Irwin Marine)

Awesome news...looks like a great boat.
Glad the truck towed well but I had a feeling it was no problem whatsoever.
Have fun!

I think you should call it "What About Bob?"

Didn't that movie supposedly take place on that lake?
