It’s getting closer

OK ... restrictions prevent me getting normal handover. (I.e water trial), plus not allowed to drive to collect.
To avoid what could be another month or more delay, requested it be delivered to me.

Dealer cost was high, not only fuel cost to tow it, but also £10 per Hr for driver (for return journey as well)

Initially the cost for this was going to prevent proceeding, I decided to contact Four Winns President in the US .... and Was impressed he responded in less than an Hr.
I suggested as delays were not of my making ... they might like to fund this as a gesture, he agreed.

Boat being delivered next Thursday. :D

Finally, 8 months after orderring ..... my FourWinns H210 has arrived.

Nestled happily in its boat shed ..... looking fwd to next nice day so I can get the covers off and have a good inspection
The Volvo Duoprop drive looks a powerful beast .... hope I never hit anything .. those conuter rotating props look expensive.
