Digging on the H1! Nice rig that could pull a house!

That boat makes the H1 look small. I didn't know there was anything out there that could make an H1 look small.

We finally decided to sell our 292. It has been a wonderful boat for our family, but we just don't get time to use it often anymore.

Over on the other post, you don't specify the year..should add that.
Another weird thing...was looking up your boat on NADA...there is no 292 in 1999 but there is one listed in 2000...is your boat actually a 2000?

Ah, good point. Adding that now. It's titled as a 1999, but other people have told me the same that it should be a 2000. I'll note that it's a 1999 on the listing.

Built in April 1999 and it's a 1999 model. Must have built a few of the 292 models in late 1999 model year. Not sure when they start production normally on the next year's model.

Well, we still have the boat

It's been a long time since I updated this thread.
Here's the winterizing video from a few months ago:

And just last week I pulled it out of storage to start getting it detailed and cleaned up for the summer. Found my new favorite compound, and got the hull back to shiny again. Sealed it up with a ceramic polymer wax. Now just need to get the top side buffed and sealed and fix a few little things.
Here's the video for anyone looking for the high level process of how to buff and polish your boat's gelcoat.
