Bought a new 2008 H190 in December. Looking forward to getting it wet as soon as weather cooperates. April sure is a long time off. I recently sold my Stratos and my Baja, hope this is the boat I have been looking for. :mrgreen:

we normally launch in Morris, but hit Ottawa launch several times last year. I have had no trouble locking up and down the river.

Mickey, If you come through the lock, stop in at Heritage Harbor. It's about a mile west of the Marseilles lock on the North Side. We will have our boat in around April 1 and are there most weekends. Our previous boat was a Horizon Class Four Winns and we loved it. My guess is you bought yours from the Morris dealer?
