Our First Boat

masssteve · 05-07-2007, 10:29 AM

My first boat, a 93 Fourwinns horizon was a great boat, my 05 200 Horizon is excellent! Winnisquam Marine was very nice, I was just about to purchase there. They didn't have the color I really wanted so I called Melvin village. Not only did they have 3 of the color I wanted, The price was $2,000 less and a 6 year warranty instead of a 2 year! The folks at Melvin are great!

WinnChill,

Great choice in a used Four Winns. I am in my 4th year with an 89 225 Sundowner and it has been a wonderful boat. It started out from Melvin Village as the dealer decal was still on it when I bought it at Fay's.

Merrill Fay even told me it was a great boat then and he reiterated it yesterday while I was buffing it out before my first ride in the afternoon.

BTW what a great time out on the lake yesterday. So enjoy your new boat as much as possible. This time of year and the early fall are really great.

See you out there - just look for the maroon, grey and white "Just Sold".

We still have our 1987 19' Four Winns Bowrider. It also came from Melvin Village Marine. The owner, Tom Young, was always super to deal with. (BTW, he's originally from NJ, too.) Unlike me, he has escaped to God's country year round.

yes but the first boat was from Downings fast forward 20 years to Melvin Village Marine. The Four Winns is still going and will be 21 years old in August.

Good Luck with the new boat!
