Four Winns Horizon RS

1998 Four Winns 18' Bow Rider Horizon RS I bought this from the original owner in 2008 as my first boat and could not have been happier with the purchase. It has provide the family and friends with a ton of fun on the lakes, cruising the CT river and going out on Long Island Sound. It has very low hours on it for its age. It has been outstanding and hauls ass! If it wasn't for my sister buying a lakehouse on the main lake I use to go boating I would probably be keeping it! The NADA price guide where the "average retail" for the model and year of boat is approx. $9000-9500. This price excludes one of the tops I have for the boat because I couldn't find it on the list. But this boat is in GREAT condition, I get numerous compliments on it. It is stored indoors every winter, has a new engine 5.7L V8 & exhaust that were installed 2010 (I have the receipt). The engine has only 80 hours on it. I evidently bought the boat with a cracked engine block. I also replaced a few other key parts totaling over 6k. Additionally I have installed a set of 4 new speakers and will include the extras like 2 person tube, ski vests, ropes, wakeboard, etc to the sale, just get in and go! All the mechanical work was performed at G&R Marine in South Windsor. The only thing that may need to be fixed is the brake line on the trailer. If you need to use it, the lines would need to be flushed and repaired. Since my truck has a capacity for towing beyond the weight of the boat and trailer I never had it fixed. There are two major pieces to the boat, the boat itself and the trailer. So let me cover a few things on each: The Boat - is very clean and has no tears in the vinyl seats and no hull damage Installed new Engine and new exhaust between 2009-2010 seasons, currently has about 80 hours on it. The boat body has 322 hours. New starter Outdrive has a new Rubber Transom Seal (2012) Outdrive has the fin replaced (new as of this winter 2013/14) Comes with two color matching snap-on tops, one covers the bow and the other the general seating area. I use these when storing the boat so stuff like leaves and bugs don't get in between rides. Bimini Top - This is your shade when the sun is hot. It is tall enough for a 6' footer to stand under Convertible top - This snaps on over the windshield and is used primarily if you get caught in the rain, I have only used it twice Snap on rug - covers the whole floor area Stereo/CD player - I replaced the four speakers in the boat last year Docking bumpers (2) Seat Cushions (2) I would throw in: 2 person tube and tube/wakeboard ropes (2) Standard orange life jackets (6) Kids ski jackets (2) Adult ski jackets (4) 1 Wakeboard Trailer Color coded the same as the boat I put new tires on it last season (2013) Thanks for your interest, good luck with whatever you decide because once you get a boat you will be hooked! sold "as is" with no warrantee
