Bow rails match the Facebook image....looks like an open bow 435.

For the guys in Florida who live on the water. I know my cabin was unused on my boat...and he sold it for a big bowrider...

HUH.. thats all I got..
Its a weird combination. A bowrider with an enclosed cockpit. If done right it could make sense. eehh.... not going to say no until Ric gets us some pics..

IF they made the cockpit like a salon with a galley and had just a head and beds below it may work. BUT in a 40 something foot boat its a very niche and would probably feel "small" for that size boat.

I can picture that trolling around the miami intercoastal filled with girls that looked like they rolled off an assembly line.

That is just plain weird...

On a smaller scale, we can't "build" a S235 on the web site. Waiting the 2015 update. Curious to see what will change on that boat and what will happen to the price of the 2014 S235 !

I walked around an S235. You don't want that. The cuddy is half the size of my Chap 215 SSI and the cockpit space is equal to that of a H180. It's not big enough for me to lie down in the cabin, or sit up.

I don't really see the point of the cruiser/bowrid hybrid. As long as your bow has tall enough rails, then it's already legal to ride up front. Making the bow seats a waste of space. Once again, another fine example of research and design either not listening at all, or listening to the wrong market. Four Winns lost me a few years ago with the euro styling. Maybe I'm getting old, but I will always admire the classic lines. I've owned 3 Four Winn boats now, but it's not looking like I would purchase another. One of the big selling points with Four Winns, was they never really seem to date them selves like other builders. Smooth lines, rounded corners.
I've really enjoyed our 328, one of the best layouts and ride that I've been on. But we're starting to look for what's next and Four Winns is not it. I think we've narrowed down our next boat to 2 models, 400ss or a SR 41 SB.
Just my opinion.

Time for them to put down the crack pipe LOL and Please re-visit classic cruiser design, give us something like an updated Chris Craft Commander or Constellation, not these visual abominations. If I wasn't sea sick I'd soon feel that way after seeing such an abomination.
What happens when that bow area takes in about 50 gallons of water and the bitty drains they will likely have, can't get it out fast enough, would they have the common sense to put an extra pump there?? Not betting on it....

Wow!! That is a lot of wasted cabin space. Most people who have a big expensive boat tend to have a runabout anyway so why the need for an open bow like that? Must be a joke.

If it gets filled with water I would imagine you just make it into a hot tub.
