Greetings iBoaters!!! I'm not new to boating but I'm quite new to repairing and maintaining boats the proper way. Could someone recommend a good on-line course or self-help book for basic boat maintenance and/or on-water repairs, preferrably for I/O's? Outside of major repairs and...
Who's ready to jump in their Four Winns this season??? Where and when will you be enjoying it this summer???
We're going to Northern MN in July for a week of boating and fishing, among many other weekend trips in and around central IL and southern IA. We just need to hit 50 degrees on a...
We've all seen NASCAR or Construction Machinery die casts models from time to time, but, does anyone know if sportboat diecasts are made and sold anywhere? Ideally, late models?
OK, just bought a new boat, but it came with a heavy and clumsy wakeboard tower (see photo). Since it's kinda a pain to raise and lower it (and we'll never use it), we'd like to permanently remove it. Here's the challenge though...
The wakeboard tower is mounted in 4 locations, 2 on each...
Attention iBoat Gurus! I'm about to pull the trigger on a new 22' Four Winns and I'd like to store it in my garage but the height of my garage door opening is only 84" tall. Once I clear the opening of the garage door, the height below the raised garage door is actually 93" tall. The boat (on...
I'm considering the purchase of a new 2008/09 H210 or H220 Frenzy Edition but I wanted to get feedback from other owners first. Please share your experiences or other impressions of these boats. Don't forget to include comments you've probably received from jealous spectators!!! I'm also...
Ladies and Gentlemen, like many of you, I was having a difficult time choosing which make and model best meets my needs. I've read numerous posts on this very subject and many of you chimed in with your opinions and other facts to help each individual make the best decision. However, I've...
Can someone help me determine which engine is best for a 22 foot bow rider? I'm considering a new Four Winns but there are way too many engines to choose from. Ideally, I'm looking for the best fuel economy, even though both engines probably guzzle gas. Please help!!!
Thanks in advance...
Does anyone out there own a H200, H210, H220, or H240 Four Winns Frenzy Edition? If so, I would love to hear the pros and cons based on your experiences. Thanks in advance.
OK, I'm an engineer and I am somewhat familar (enough to be dangerous) with internal combustion engines so I'm wondering why there is a 10-20 hour break-in requirement for I/O's? Automotive engines don't necessarily require them but most marine engines do. Removing metal shavings and other...
Relatively new to iBoats but I need help choosing the best bow rider for my family. Been working with the local Tahoe dealer because they are conveniently located but I am not sold on Tahoe boats (based on comments from this forum).
Looking for a 21'-ish bow rider with good power and good...
When purchasing a new Tahoe, is it possible to negotiate the price, similar to purchasing a new car? Or is it one-price shopping? If negotiating the price is out of the question, what other ammenities can be "thrown in"? Please share!!!
Does anyone have any experience with the optional cover mentioned in the title? Am I the only one who thinks it looks terrible? Is it easy to use or should I forget about it altogether? What other options are there?
Attention all Q5i/Q5i Sf owners, I'm about to purchase a Q5i or Q6 but can't decide which one to go with. Therefore, I'm looking for any reasons NOT to buy the smaller/cheaper Q5i/Q5i SF. Please help!!!
