2004 Four Winns Day Boat | 5.0L MerCruiser | Major Rebuild | 220 Hours | Trailer Included
A rare opportunity to secure a 2004 Four Winns bow rider day boat that has had one owner since new, meticulously cared for, and recently subjected to a no-expense-spared mechanical rebuild.
This vessel has spent the vast majority of its life either in the Akuna Bay dry stack or stored in a large enclosed shed, greatly limiting exposure to the elements. It returned to Akuna Bay approximately six months ago, following completion of the rebuild, and has seen virtually no use since.
Powered by a 5.0L MerCruiser petrol stern drive, the engine has 220 total hours. Following water ingress caused by aged exhaust components, the engine was professionally rebuilt by an experienced race engineer with extensive background in MerCruiser and Chevrolet V8 engines. Only core components were retained, with all critical systems renewed or reconditioned to a very high standard.
Mechanical highlights include:
o Comprehensive engine rebuild
o Cylinders bored
o Cylinder heads fully refurbished by Balmain Engineering (new valves, springs, etc. )
o New exhaust manifolds and risers
o New engine mounts
o All water hoses replaced
o Stern drive hydraulics and associated electrics refurbished
o New stern drive water pump
o New gimbal bearing (installed this year by Akuna Bay marina mechanics)
Compression results (excellent and even):
170 / 185 / 195 / 190 / 175 / 190 / 185 / 180
The boat presents as a mechanically sorted, honest example that would suit a buyer wanting turn-key reliability rather than an unknown engine history.
? Trailer included - excellent condition
? Long-term ownership
? Dry stack / shed stored
? Minimal use since rebuild
Inspections welcome. This is a standout Four Winns for buyers who understand the value of quality mechanical work and proper ownership history.
