Bit cold for the old jatz crackers mate! :lol:

We had a 30 deg C on the weekend. Taste of things to come.

Our Horizon RS has cleared Customs and is currently having the trailer & windscreen put back together for my collection, next weekend!
Just a little bit excited! :D :D

We're waiting for the weather too. Bought our H210 in late March this year so have only used it a handful of times!

Here's ours that we bought in March, really haven't used it much as it's been winter. We bought it off a guy who very rarely used it, it's only done 146 fully documented hours! It's an official Australian imported 2004 Horizon H210. It's got the 300bhp 350MAG motor and Bravo drive. Wrap around U seating with removable table. Fold out rear facing sunbeds. Wakeboard tower, bimini top, wake speakers, 6 other speakers, 12" sub, 1100W amp, dash & swim platform steroe remotes, stainless prop.

Love it and can't wait to get it out more. Have a few mods in mind. Currently putting together a freshwater shower to add for after swimming in the sea. Will also be adding a second battery too.

I would post more pictures but this forum is bloody infuriating :evil: I've resized my picures to 480x640 but it's saying my pictures are larger than 768 high. Never had this issue with this on any other forums but this one just won't have it.

Just had a great weekend up at Morgan , Had 3 newbies who had never kneeboarded before, all had a great time, and the admiral and I both got our feet wet ( went for a ski) as well. Water ski season officially started.

Hi Mike P,

How does the VW Tiguan tow the 21ft boat?!
Is it the diesel or petrol model?
Big boat for a small SUV! :shock:
p.s. Where in Australia are you?

Daz.

Hi Daz, it's the 2L Diesel. It pulls it no problem at all. In fact it pulls it up hills and up the boat ramp far better that my mates HiLux SR5 can. The Tiguan has a far better power to weight ratio which probably accounts for it. I'm near Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula.

Mike, just open a Photobucket account. Upload your photos there and just link to them in your posts on this forum using the "img" tag. I believe there are multiple threads on how to do it, but just PM me if you need help.

Hi all,

this message is directed at South Aussie owners - your recommendation for a marine shop in Adelaide to service my H180?

Any idea what a reasonable price for a "pre-summer" service might be? - I have had one quote of $550.00 plus approx $200 in parts - seems steep, but is it?

any advice would be appreciated.
