05 Four Winns Horizon 200

[bunger]

I am going to look at a 2005 Four Winns 200 this weekend:
https://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/boa/d/four-winns-horizon/6242691296.html

All looks good - original owner, all paperwork, indoor winter storage, etc..

It is about 150 miles away and I would be towing it back with a 2012 Grand Cherokee v6 (tow rating at 5000lbs). The 150 miles is mostly flat with no extremely large hills (it's Michigan)

Once I get it home, I wouldn't normally trailer it more than 30 miles or so (max) on fairly flat ground.

I am not yet sure if the trailer has surge brakes, though I am hoping it does.

Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on the boat in gerneral or the trip home should I purchase it?

Towing should be fine with your WK2. 200H has the cockpit dimensions of 1990's era 18 foot runabout. If you need little space, it
may work for you. Monterey 204FS has 3 times the room and storage in the same size boat.

I owned a 2000 200 Horizon, and a 2005 190 Horizon. Terrific boats. Built like a tank. That one has the correct engine. That boat would sell for $19K in Colorado. Great choice.
