Looking to sell my 2006 Four Winns Horizon 240 for $30,000 obo. This 24' boat is amazing, but our family just doesn't use it enough which you could tell by its 37 hours of use, we want to downsize to PWCs. It seats 11 or 1650 pounds.

It comes with:

- 5.7 Gi (280 hp) engine
- Duoprop
- Bimini w/ boot
- Clarion CMD5 CD Player
- New Polk Audio 651s speakers w/ painted white grills
- Porta Potti
- Bow & Cockpit cover
- Depth Finder
- Bow fill-in cushions
- Sink w/ power water system
- Transom shower
- New battery (has capability to have two batteries)
- Docking lights
- Built in ice chest
- Large swim platform w/ step ladder

Just had the boat serviced (May 2011) at Family Watersports San Angelo; de-winterized, new impeller, little lube, a few other minor things....now it's ready for the water.

If you want more pics let me know!

So you bought this boat in February of 2011. You gave boating a total of 4-1/2 months, put 7 hours on the motor and determined that you don't use it enough to keep it. But PWC's will get more use. Hmmmmm.

It appears more like you are just flipping the boat to make a few bucks. I guess there is nothing wrong with that.

I hope you got the yellowed seats cleaned up if you are asking $30K.
Here is the Feb "How Much Would You Pay" thread.

Good Luck selling it.

Lt. Columbo strikes again! Probably had the prop cigar in his mouth as he was typing this.

Good job Cap'n Morgan and your lack of attention to detail when reading. I did purchase the boat in Feb 11. I'm glad you can read and do math it's important these days with schools on the verge of shutting down because the government can't afford anything. Sadly, the 'deal' did not end up at $25K as previously mentioned before the 'deal' was to take place, we met at $28K (do you want the bill of sale?). I have cleaned the boat up (still working on the seats, but will be done before someone purchases it), put new speakers in it, added AUX input, new water pump, added bow fill-in cushions, new impeller, and a few more things, putting it at $30K to start out the negotiations. Since you asked, I just don't use it enough because I can't launch/load it in the water here in San Angelo by myself. If I had PWCs then I could EASILY launch/load them with my wife. Also, when I head to Afghanistan in five months I'd rather my wife not have to worry about a huge boat sitting in the driveway when she could easily use the PWCs while I'm gone, depending on how long I'm gone. While I appreciate you trying to 'call someone out', get the facts straight. I can't stand when people decide they want to add their comments based on nothing more than unsubstantiated information. Cap'n I respect the knowledge you provide in this forum regarding boats, but anything beyond that I have zero respect for you. I have no idea why I'm trying to justify myself to an imaginary figure on the screen of my monitor that has nothing more than time on his hands than to provide very little information to someones post.

Thanks Cap'n...Here’s to you, Mr. I Know Everything About Four Winns and Nothing Else about Everything Else Guy…to be continued! Real Men of Genius!

Feel free to post a come back that I really could care less about!

You don't owe him any explanations other than to PISS OFF and mind your own helm sir.

You guys better watch out. The good Cap'n is diligently taking notes and cataloging everything you say for potential use later.

It's not surprising he has not responded to this thread again. He is probably pretending he has not seen it but we know by the finite details he pulls out of past posts that nothing gets past him.

Cap'n, if I have to justify myself to an imaginary figure on the screen of my monitor, I want it to be you!

(By the way, the ad has "disappeared"..... maybe he went with it......)
