Hello all!

I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. My wife and I have been boating for about four years, most recently with our SeaRay Sundancer 240 that we trailer all over South Florida. We really enjoy the cruising lifestyle and overnighting at marinas.

We just contracted on a 2006 Four Winns 348 Vista and are excited about moving into this boat. I'm a bit anxious about learning how to operate and maintain all of the new systems, and how to handle a bigger boat. Hopefully our 25 foot cabin cruiser with the single engine has been a good primer.

I hope to become an active member of this forum as I learn the ins and outs of this new boat, as well as how to maintain a boat that is now going to be kept in the water.

We hope to keep the boat in a wet slip in the Naples / Marco Island area of South Florida.

-David

Great to have you aboard.

Wonderful folks to be found on this forum and lessons to be learned and shared, with some laughs shared along the way, too.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

We had the survey and sea trail yesterday, and with the exception of a couple minor things, everything went really well.

I was so focused on the survey that I didn't take any pics. Here are a couple images from the original listing, I'll upload more after we take ownership!
