Clarko,
What type of tower is that? I have been looking for a collapsible one angled forward.



It's the Four Winns Factory "Wake Arch"
as shown on there website http://www.fourwinns.com/model/H220

Only I have my Bimini separate, it sits just below the tower and was made in Brisbane.

That's one nice looking boat Clarke.. although I do like my black hull, if I was buying today (I wish!) , I'd definately go for the red SS.

Just wanted to say I just bought a 2005 Horizon 200 LE and am new to the forum. I'm a damn American living in Perth. :-)

I'm still a newbe myself, but welcome to the forum Conan59er!

And thanks Alec for the compliment, the latest SS in red now has a black rear so you would get the best of both worlds.

Just a couple of pics to remind our Northern Hemisphere neighbours about summer...! Weekend before last out on the bay in Melbourne - 34C (about 90F)...



Moored on the Yarra River opposite Crown Casino for lunch. The river runs up through the centre of Melbourne and easily accessed (much like the Charles River in Boston).

Yep, the new one looks sweet, but I do prefer yours. My only reservation is the beam of 2.54m - wider than our towing regs that are 2.50m max. - I doubt you would ever get caught, but you never know! Dunno if I like the tinted screen either, but you can option this out. :mrgreen:

Oh yes, welcome aboard Conan! There is a hell of a lot of experience at this site and members are extremely helpful (and entertaining :lol: ).

Actually the beam is really 2.59m which is even worse for towing, but it makes the boat very roomy on the inside.

The tinted windscreen is easy to see through, but it is so much lower that it doesn't provide enough protection from the wind, plus its made of perspex not glass, so I have to be more careful not to scratch it.

Happy Australia day everyone, enjoy the day and blame the govt for not making it a long weekend so we can celebrate for three days instead of just one
Safe boating everyone

Happy belated Australia Day Ardy! Took Monday off as a vacation day for a 4 day weekend. Went out on the bay again on Monday - weather was perfect and a fun day was had by all wakeboarding and tubing... The new shifter cable I installed worked brilliantly - really slick and worked as smooth as my old Merc O/B used to. An absolute delight to dock now :mrgreen:

Spent Australia Day cooking breakfast for 600 local people to celebrate Australia Day for the local Lions Club I am a member of - I never want to see another piece of bacon again - I cooked something like 40kg of it :lol: But a great day all the same.

Here here! Well done Alec.


I managed to get on the River on Sunday, skiing was great as always, but that dreaded wakeboard wants to kill me and so it tried again, this time I tore my abdominal muscle, and yes it really hurt, or make that.... is still hurting.

I think in future I'll stick to the 2 things that never injure me, my slalom ski and my air chair, I'm staying away from wakeboards and inflateables (LOL)

My Daughter just says I'm too old to learn new tricks :oops:

I can sort of get up on the wakeboard but prefer the ski. I tell all the younger boarders that skiing is more manly????
