We traded our 2009 H180 for a 2010 H190. I know it's only a foot, but it's really the boat that we wanted last year. The only reason we didn't buy the 190 last year was because our jobs were up in the air. We didn't want to let it stop us from buying in a buyer's market, but we didn't want to go overboard. (no pun intended)

Things have stabilized now so we figured there was no better time to "right the wrong". Ryan at Winnisquam put a nice deal together for us so we jumped at it.

It was either this or an extended swim platform for the 180.....what would you have done? :wink:

I'd call you crazy, but I bought a H180 to replace a H180..... heck, I even kept the 4 banger.

I wouldn't have done any different. If that was the boat you wanted, then you did the right thing.

Congrats!

If any of us thought logically, none of us would probably own boats at all. Congrats and enjoy!

If they throw a penny in my casket, I must have mis calculated.

The way I figure it, if you did things the right way, that last check you write bounces!

Thanks for all the support. I no longer feel crazy. :D

Chris...you were actually the original inspiration for this to take place. I saw what you did to get the sunsport seating and the rest is history.

Cougar....if I got a 260 now what would I do for the next 7 years? :lol:

I'm interested in your thoughts on stepping up from a 180 3.0L to a 190 4.3L. Perhaps premature until you get it out a few times....

I think you should go up to 200 or 210.....and have V8
