If I was to get the 328 with a 11'9" beam. How wide would the boat slip need to be?

We have 35'x13' slip... It's a tight fit but we have dock hands at our marina that help us in every time. I would say 14' would be a lot better

Our slip is 12'2". Our boat beam is 12'. We have plenty of current the last half of every year. Yes, it is tight and yes I always call for marina assistance. There is no room for fenders, so my lines are all pre-fit to not let me touch once in the slip. The rubber surround in the slip is much appreciated and necessary in my case. Remember that maximum beam is at the gunwale, and not quite 12' at the level where the boat would touch the sides, unless you have very tall slips. If I had 13' of slip I would be in heaven. I just love my slip,and would not trade it because of the view.

You guys just made me curious. I have a 328 Vista (as mentioned above with 11' 9" beam) and I find our well tight when I stern in. For some reason my two posts that I back between (furthest from seawall) are skinnier in width as compared to the two posts nearer the seawall. I'll measure the width this weekend and post back. I wouldn't want a narrower well that what I currently have.

Our current well measures 12' 5" in width between the first two posts I need to back in between.

Thanks for all the post. I'm going to tell the boathouse builder to make it 14' wide
