NICE! The new boat looks awesome. Just bought my 2005 H230 in November and I can't wait to get out.

Lucky for us the boat was already in a slip for Winnisquam Marine's open house. We were up there signing the papers on our new boat and Ryan asked us if we wanted to go for a ride in a 190 since we still haven't driven ours. I'm not sure if he was joking or not, but we jumped on the chance.

While we were out on the water they brought ours to the marina so we could get another look at it. We'll pick it up for good in a couple of weeks. :D

Well Guy's
It's starting to look like a good weekend is coming up.
I think I might just have to take the boat down to the lake and get it wet.
It will be it's first launch of the year. :P :P

Well guys,
I got the chance today to take her out for it's second trip. The boat launch is only 5 minutes from our house on lake Ontario. It was a little cooler today. The police boat was out though and I got boarded. Everything turned out ok. They went through everything on what you need in an emergency. The boat is 21 feet so the only thing I have to get more of, is 2 more flares. 4 flares isn't enough.

They also checked my life jackets to make sure there all Canadian and not American.
I have no idea what the difference is except maybe when the boat goes down they say HELP AH. :P :P
