Ill own a four winns again one day I just couldn't say no to a 2009 boat for 15k otd. The owner just purchased a 40ft boat this was his starter. Didn't care what it sold for, just wanted it gone. The cabin is actually the same size as a 205 sundowner, just less head room. it also does low 50s and cruises at 30mph with the same consumption as my old 3.0

I can't take off work again this week so Saturday.

It has a gay factory radio and speakers so I'm hitting up the Amazon this evening.. check out the latest head units, polk mm651 speakers, 12v LED/DVD flatscreen for stabbin' cabin. Also going to start measuring where to stuff the AC. Might have to build out 10" on one side of the cabin on the back side of the radio (passenger side) and mount AC in there. Cabin space shouldn't suffer. I have a ton of 1/4 starboard. I COULD put it in the v-birth under the fill in too, but it would look more professional the other way. I'll do some mock ups.

Well, I guess we can close this thread. The boat is safely in it's parking spot. The GF loves it, and the cabin space is plenty for both of us and I'm nearly 6'2 and can stretch out. I'll give it to the detail shop this week to give it a once over and I'll also change drive/engine oils, install new radio/speakers.

I'm holding off on buying AC until I fix the trim. It might be a cheap fix (dirty wires), it might be a $600 fix (new motor). Normally I wouldn't care and I'd just order everything but I just dropped $1200 on a cruise on Allure of the Seas for next month.
