Hi Everyone,

Sure glad I found this site! I would like to introduce myself - Jim Clark from Clovis, New Mexico. I just traded in my 3 Jet Ski's for a brand new 2011 H210SS from Parker Boats in Amarillo, TX. I think I got an excellent deal on the boat, M.S.R.P. was $64,995 of which $3,000 included the Four Winns trailer. They discounted the boat $8,000 and gave me $9,000 for my trades. I added an additional $3,000 cash down so my payments would run $485.00 for 12 years at 6.9%. Pretty good I think that the Credit Union was even loaning on boats at all. I was surprised that the new 2011 model had an 2007 Sony radio (CDX-HS70MS) in it even though it had the radio upgrade package & Four Winns is no longer putting Sirius Satellite radio in their boats. I fixed the problem-purchased a new Sony CDX-H910UI Radio to swap out and the Sirius Modules to add as well as the Sony remote wired control unit to mount on the swim platform too. I also had them add on a ProMariner 2 bank battery charger. Looking forward to taking delivery in the next couple of days - hope to see & meet some of you as we share our Passion For Water!

Nice looking boat there bud....I like the color combo a lot and the black bottom really looks sharp....couple suggestions if you don't mind...go get you some black dock line (cheap from Academy) and rap it around that Bimini cover before towing it back home. You never know its there and it will keep that bimini cover from flapping - i ripped mine at the zipper on my ride home with my recently purchased boat.

Also, those tower speakers were supposed to be mounted on my boat....i now know where they are and apparently were installed on your boat in error - please mail them back to me!!!

Enjoy

Some may not like the thought of this idea - but I did....i took out a home equity loan to pay off the boat - i know it taks on to the home note and many don't want to involve the casa, but.......the interest rate drops a LOT plus the interest you pay on that note now becomes a deduction...should drop your note for the boat portion by around $ 60 monthly, which over a 12 year period is $ 8,640.00 in savings not including the tax benefits. Just a thought if it applies to your sitch.

VERY NICE...I'd love to have a newer boat but I like to pay cash for my toys.....I'm still running the old '88 Horizon...I recall pricing out one on the website and the suggested retail for the same size boat (210 in their current measurment system) would have retailed for about $48K or so...I think I have total about 8k in mine....LOL....that includes rebuilding the deck and new interior....

Great looking boat! I love that color combo.

Question... does that arch break down easily? I have the tower, but it's kind of a pain and it's also pretty heavy - requires two people.

The reverse arch is a solid piece (very sturdy unit), but is not really designed to be folded down.....yes, you can remove the bolts at the rear and fold it forward but not recommended unless you just have to do it.....it will be just as heavy as your model.

Thanks! We like to rent lakefronts on the weekends when we're able, but most of the homes with a boat lift don't fit a boat WITH a tower. I love the tower and Bimini (gotta have it for kids), but I guess I just break it down each time or take it off.
