As the tittle says I am the owner of a new to me 08 h220 frenzy in true red. Has the 350 merc with bravo three. Also came with the dts and smart tow. After the first day out on it yesterday I could not be happier with the purchase. The dts ( digital throttle system) is amazing in it self, but the smart tow along with it can't be beat. Another option it had which I really didn't care for as first was the stereo upgrade with kicker sub and amp rated at 980 watts. Although after yesterday on the water I am glad its there, because it sounds fantastic. I got the boat from Winnisquam marine as most already know great people to deal with. They had everything working perfect and the boat was spotless. Is was the smoothest boat purchase ever. The only thing I had to do because I am a little OCD was scub clean the bilge area. Looking forward to reading posts on things I can do.

How did you get so lucky to get one WITHOUT a Four Winns trailer? You have no idea how jealous I am of you! Nice looking boat!

Congrats on the new boat. She is a beauty. We did the same thing as you when you sold your 268 Vista, and downsized to a 20' bowrider. So glad we did that, the trailer boat life gives you so many options on where to boat.

It actually is a four winns trailer just has the gator Hyde coating. I did give it a real close inspection thanks to your posts, but the guys at Winnisquam at already addressed everything u mentioned. The brake lines had been zip tied and everything else looked in perfect condition. The boat was a vallet boat there so I don't think it saw any road time.

I live in Boston but most of my boating is on the NH lakes. Newfound is probably my favorite. When I want to stay a little closer to home I head to a small lake on the cape it's called mashpee.

I loved my 268 but as a trailer boater with two small kids it was a little to big. This h220 seems to be the perfect size for now.

Sorry about the multiple post didn't know how to answer questions all in one. I did have one question is the wake tower on my boat a stock four winns one? I was looking for a nice trailering cover that would work with it.

Yep! Factory tower (built by MonsterTower, I believe). There were two options for towers in 2008. Your boat (and mine, also) have what they called the Wakeboard Tower. There was also a Wakeboard (reverse) Arch.

Info here: http://www.fourwinns.com/2008/model/H220/options (click on the Tow Sports button)

There are standard Four Winns covers available that work with that tower installed.

Congratulations on the purchase! You'll love that boat!

I'll look for you on Newfound. That's where our boat is. You'll have the only frenzy so I'll know it's you. :D

I see one thing you need to do asap....remove the port side wakeboard rack from the tower....wrap in some bubble wrap and ups it to me.....I will test it out for you cuz it looks all messed up:-) will send it back around November.

Nice looking boat....the frenzyis sharp looking. Enjoy!
