New Addidtion (pics)

[LoriMaury Kimbrough]

OK...so when most people here announce a new addition they are usually talking about the pending, or recent, birth of a child. Since our kid is now 18 and living on her own, we are celebrating what we are calling our 'empty nest toy'. She is a 2006 Four Winns Horizon 200. She has a Chevy (yes, I said ugly ‘C’ word) EFI 302 in it, with 270 horses. It is sold as a Volvo Penta engine, so at least that gets it back in the Ford family. We are going to pick her up on Saturday.



Here are some things that I found humorous about the whole deal. The boat is longer than my truck, has a bigger engine and costs more yet the payment is not even half because of how long they finance these things for. The cheap payment will allow us to pay it off sooner. Also, my hitch cover says “Remove to Tow Chevy”. Now I guess I will be doing so as often as possible. :lol:



Here are some pics of our new baby that were taken in the showroom. I'll post some more after we pick her up.

As a fellow boat owner, that is really really really cool.



Any idea what it weighs? Also, what is its length? Where do you plan taking her out?



Later,



The Hawk

Thanks everyone. We are so excited..the rest of the week is going to drag by.



She is 19'8" long and weighs about 3100lbs. We will spend the bulk of our time on Lake's Mohave and Mead and running the lower Colorado River (Laughlin, NV). In the cooler months, we'll spend time on Lake Havasu as well. We are really lucky to be so close to these places. All of them are within 2 hours away.



For our first long trip we plan to take it to Lake Tahoe.

[LoriMaury Kimbrough]

I bought the hitch cover from stlylinconcepts.com. It's nothing special but I do like the harass the Chevy lover that I work with!!

 

[Teddy GreeneII]

Congrats. Im very happy for you. I hate you. Just kidding, no Im not. Im confused.





Joking have fun and be safe. Grew up on boats and had so much fun, have to wait until my little one gets a little bigger to do that again. Its a beautiful boat.

 

[TomT]

Sweet. Are you going to take us all fishing?

Lake Tahoe is really beautiful. Ever been to Lake Powell? I've always wanted to go there.

 

[Dan Otto]

Hope it wasn't cesarean Loooooooks real nice! I want one!

 

[LoriMaury Kimbrough]

hummm....some how I think a cesarean would be much MUCH easier!!



We've been to Lake Powell, although it was about 8 years ago. I'm sure we'll make it there as well.

 

[Paul Maurer 2]

Nice boat- I like the yellow trim as well. Have fun!

 

[Jeff C]

That is a beautiful boat. Have fun and don't drink and drive it, they don't like that too much.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Are you breaking it in on the weekend of Aug. 5th.? Hint, Hint hehe Just joking.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Nice boat. I see those boats at Bass Pro and always think about how one day I'll get one. Have fun and be safe on the water!

 

[LoriMaury Kimbrough]

I can't believe nobody caught my mistake. It's not a Chevy EFI 302, that's a FORD...it's a Chevy EFI 305!!!!



My bad.
