Thought I would post up some pics of my newly reminted '07 220.

First I would like to say that FourWinns is an excellent company and everyone should rest assured that with a professional level-headed approach and a valid concern they will address warranty issues with the highest level of customer service. Enough said!

Winnisquam Marine once again demonstrated their absolute commitment to exceptional customer service and the skill level of their mechanics is of the highest caliber I have come across in my experience with servicing boat dealers.

Still under wraps!

Image

I got to unwrap the new hull personally.

Image

Cleaned up and ready to go.

Image

Ready to leave for the North.


I really like the Black and Red Tri-Tone and some of the subtle improvements made over the '07 design especially the bimini outside of the windshield with no zippers in the cockpit canvas.


Just for giggles I thought I would post this picture below. This guy is on the St. Lawrence River and has the 82' Sunseeker named 'Her Way' shown at his summer retreat. He also has a new 50' Outerlimits cat. built with twin T53 Lycoming turbines named My Way. My way is rumoured to have a top speed of 210 MPH and by the way, the Sunseeker has twin Arneson Surface drives, 2400HP diesels, displaces 50 tons and has a top speed of 48 Knots (55 mph). Get out of the way!

Congrats on your new 220-H!!! It looks great....I have the 2006 220-H with the zippered canvas cover.....(bimini posts inside the windshield). Glad to hear that they corrected that slight engineering flaw. I wish I had the new bimini/cover feature!!! Show us some pic's of the interior when you get a chance...

OK did I miss a story? Wasn't it all red at one point? I looked for an older post, but couldn't find it.

The boat looks great.

Wow! That is one sweet looking boat! How long have you had it up here? I haven't seen you out on the water yet. I know the weather hasn't been that good but we are still managing atleast one day a weekend on the water! This past Saturday it was a battle of the waves (5 Footers) all the way to Confederation Basin. I see you have made it up the St. Lawrence, Did you put in at Gananoque? Do you just keep the boat on the trailer? BTW, I too thought your boat was all red.... Maybe thinking of somebody else? or is that what the re-minted comment is about?

Hope to see you out there soon!

P.S. Was it you that saw my buddy's boat at Confed the weekend of the Poker Run? "M-Den" If it was sorry I missed you.

Trailer was made special so the marina fork truck can pick up boats easliy.

The F150 pulls it just fine. 5.4 Triton with 3.73 gears and towing package help alot. Around 10 mpg coming through the hills out of NH into NY. Cheaper to drive the boat!

Original hull was red CCB. I had some issues and they replaced it with a new hull. I bet you wouldn't get that kind of response from Cobalt!

Yep. Keep it on the trailer. Put in at Collins Bay last Friday and went to Brockville (125 miles round trip and 45 gallons later) for lunch that's when I got pictures of Tomlinson's Sunseeker. I spoke with a lady on a grey 245 Vista at the Poker Run which looked alot like the pictures of your buddy's boat. She said you were just coming in but I had to get going. Would have liked to meet but I am sure there will be other opportunities.


Thanks for the compliments. Now if September will stay hot and dry maybe I can put another 40 hours on before the end of the season.

Steve
