I think i remember you ragging on me about something . Something about a cluster fack . FourWinns was my springboard into the sport . Back around 1995 i built a 383 for my 1988 210 Horizon . Radar said 68mph in pretty rough water . I almost forgot to include video of you previous hotboat . http://youtu.be/97fjOmGg2jc

Hell yeah I was razzing you, jealousy makes you do silly things Ever since I was a kid in Michigan I've had a love for Liberators they were EVERYWHERE up here in the 80's and 90's. I know it's only a Four Winns and it's not special, but I've had three of them. My first boat a 99' 180 horizon bowrider with a 4.3, a 211 with a 350/260, and now this one. I wanted something else, but when I found a 221 with a 502 (really rare) for basically free, I got out the elbow grease and brought her back to life removed all the OMC except the outdrive, which for all things said, it's been great.. They are built very solid for their size and fit my needs and my budget...which gets smaller with every child

I'm 34 and I have 6 more years left on the house and then I'll do something else, and take this motor with me. This boat cleaned up awesome actually and even with the motor build I have about $14,000 in it (though I will NEVER add it all up officially). It's to much, but she runs good and my girls LOVE it.

And I'll fix those connectors too

Don't cut yourself short my friend , FourWinns built a good boat . As far as being special , if it's special to you and your family , well that IS ALL THAT MATTERS !! You may tie up next to my rolled , sunk and rebuilt by me Warlock anytime . Nothing ever came easy here .

Very nice.
Horrible speed vs power, it dynoed 540 through wet manifolds!!! Slow hull, but stable as a rock.

What I meant was, power Vs hull/model I know that design fairly well and used to to see a ton of them around where I'm from.
Kinda designed to be a FourWinns Pachanga.

70 is flying for 24' Liberator w/a single.

Ah, I understand what you mean now.

It's really only a 21'8" hull, the rest is molded platform which gets it's to 23'3". Makes perfect sense that they call it a "221"...
