I purchased this 1989 Four Winns 21ft Horizon boat in Florida as a project to work on over the winter. What I liked about the boat it was kept in a garage and was only used in fresh water. But the interior was shot and the floor was rotted out. I was retired and always had a boat, now I’m living on an Island in Savannah and a boat is a must. I also have a 1968 Chris Craft sailboat that also gets me busy in the summer. This was going to need a total make over. All the cushions were shot and needed reupholstering. The engine compression was strong and outdrive were fine and all the mechanicals as well, just the usual maintenance. This is some of the things I had done to make it nice again. Took everything out except the engine and mechanicals and replaced it, starting with the new floor and some fiberglass work. I redesigned the rear of the boat with a large engine cover and a rear seat and installed two new front seats that swivel and adjust in height. The new engine cover is nice to starch out on and catch some rays. Also used as seating for either side of the boat, the swim area or the inside of the boat. It has a large swim deck made of teak with a fold down ladder.
The front open area was completely done over with new fabric and new rug. Covers were made for the front and rear area in a blue and gray wide stripe. The engine had lots of attention as well. New part, starter, solenoid, battery and the cables going to it from the engine ground and positive #4. Ignition switch, coil, distributor cap and rotor, points, condenser, plugs and plug wires. Gas Line from tank to carb with new valve. new wires at gas tank. New fuses at engine 50amp and at dash. The gas tank was removed with the old gas and cleaned out and reinstalled with new gas. It’s a 55gal aluminum tank.
This boat today sells for over $60,000 same as this one only new. So if you can deal with some age, you’ll save a lot of money. Keep in mind, back in 1989 they made them stronger and heavier, more solid, when you hit those waves at high speed. You can feel the difference for sure. It’s more of plowing though the wave then it throwing you up over the waves due to a light weight boat. Has a new FM marine radio w/ CD player and USB port and drive, with four speaker.As you can see the engine hours are 484 hours, that works out to 18.6 hours per years, say 26 year old boat.
