2000 Four Winns 248 Vista For Sale

The cockpit is broken up into three distinct areas, but the disparate areas all flow into one another, giving the entire area an open feel.

The first area is the helm. The helm console runs amidships and goes two thirds of the way across the starboard side of the boat. The remaining stretch is left for the entryway to the cabin. In addition, a fiberglass stairway is built into the console, allowing you to climb up to the topside area of the bow.

The doublewide captain's seat at the helm is befitting of the extra-large console. It can easily seat two full-size adults -- and maybe even a third person if he or she is petite.

The helm also includes a full set of instrumentation. This boat is equipped with the optional Navigation Package, which includes a Garmin GPS system.

The second area of the cockpit is the U-shaped settee that wraps along the back side of the captain's seat, continues down the starboard side of the boat and then winds back along the stern. This great conversation space is where everyone will want to hang out.

The third area is the swim platform (which technically isn't part of the cockpit, but just goes with it). The large swim step means more room to stretch your legs, and it makes it a snap to board the boat.

The cabin is a welcome retreat into more luxury items, including an impressive galley. This boat has the 248 Vista's optional Marina Package; the galley has the addition of a microwave oven and an electric stove.

The head is upgraded as well with a porcelain toilet and holding tank Three to four people can sleep on board, thanks to the V-berth at the bow and the second berth hidden back under the cockpit.

The Four Winns 248 Vista is a solid, comfortable cuddy cruiser that makes overnight stays on board a total treat. Four Winns gives the boat a good number of standard luxury features and then lets you add even more if you desire; however, the ultimate luxury is peace of mind, and with this seaworthy craft, that feature is always part of the package.

This is a good clean low hour boat. The hull looks to be in great condition with no noticeable blistering or deep scratches. The cockpit upholstery is in good condition as is the cabin upholstery.

The out-drive works well, but needs to be cleaned and painted.

Owner reports that all systems are in proper working order.
