An end to boating

by argonaut » 03 Jul 2026, 16:04

After 48 years of Boat ownership, I decided to sell my boat, and I don't see myself buying another.
I don't seem to have a pic of my first boat

Here was an early one ... an 11'6' Fletcher.

I had a few boats of which two had no maker's names - plywood construction.
Then the Fletcher above, a Simms Super Vee Jet boat, followed by a couple of Pictons, including Dave Pictons former offshore Ski racing Royale. A Ring 21, Regal, Maxum MXR, Monterey, then my current boat a FourWinns H210 SLX

The FourWinns was definitely the best I have owned, I went through the tick list adding almost everything.
The twin counter-rotating stainless props were such an improvement on a single prop, coupled to the amazingly powerful VolvoPenta 280hp.
I added Digital cruise control for towed sport, a large Depthtrax depth display and a Monster MTX tower.
Even putting in a Carbon effect dash this year.

I'll certainly miss her when she leaves my drive on Monday.


Here to sign off is a vid clip of the boat, driving it and having fun on my SkySki
