One or two more years of production, and the SL series will be gone. That is why you are seeing some design elements that were popular on the SL, incorporated into the Horizon series.

The H200 looks much better without the arch IMO.

The arch looks alot better with the bimini up...guess it's because the combo round/modular design is wierd. Kinda like the tube add ons look to be an afterthought. I do like the platform = wish they would come up with a more user friendly ladder system. The one on my boat is not easy to deploy from the water or retrieve from the boat. The Bayliner style telescoping ladder was far easier.

I dont care for the boxy interior either based on pics posted. The port side seat is strange looking. Face backward and you have to put your feet and legs out at a 90 degree angle. I like the spin around captains chair much better...guess it offers more storage, but at a large cost in looks and comfort.

I finally had a chance to see 2012 H210 … my first impression is it is very European enfluenced style and little different from previous Horizons. The boat h as much sharper line and corners than existing models and has little wider inside of boat. I like the stern and swim platform of SL series so I like this new Horizon’s tail section as well.. It resemble Steve Lumpy`s design. The swim platform is bolted on and not molded as someone previous mentioned. Fit and finish is ok and the selection of hardware is typical for four Winns and not significantly better than existing components. Window Trims little heavier than existing one but I like to see Stainless Steel option.
Overall I am please to see how the boat came out and can not wait to see their new H260/270 in near future… Recently I test drive a Crownline E6 and I was very impressed with it's overall quality of boat on the top of performance and stabilities/handling of the boat. I feel I found a potential replacement of my current H260….. However, I will definitely wait until new H260/270 will introduce in a few years..
I hope Four Winns will step up and come up with a mind blowing H260/270…. If not ……E6 could be my …… :mrgreen:
