Jefflw, I hate to tell you, but your Vista is a turd as well... You think I'd buy a Fourwinns to go out into the Gulf.. The vista is nothing more than a cork on the water.... I'd be getting me a real boat, Boston whaler conquest or outrage!!! Vista is nothing more than a bay boat....

Greg,

I love my Vista, not sure what it is that you don't like about them? Maybe I can't understand your post, a cork? A Bay boat? are you saying that the Vista isn't a good boat for the open Ocean? Isn't that kind of like saying I wouldn't drive a mercedes off-road I'd rather have a Dodge Ram 4x4?

I agree with the Conquest, if you want a fishing boat. I originally was looking at walkarounds when I started searching for boats. Then realized that I would be cruising to different locations and overnighting more than fishing.

If I boated on the gulf the Conquest would have been top of my list because of the outboards.

By the way the "Turd" comment was meant to be a joke based on ric's own complaints about his boat. I have nothing against ric or Stingray boats. Get the sand out of your vagina, no need to get nasty.

Sounds like 2 boats are required! Your lake boat and a more substantial cruiser. Or you could be like Rodney Dangerfield and have a big ol' yacht on your lake.

Lv chris, maybe if you read the prior post from Jefflw, him calling my SL262 a turd was laughable.. I boat on a lake. he told me I should purchase a Vista and boat on the coast, which I of course laughed because a 248 vista is the last thing I'd purchase to go out on the coast with... It's a cork, meaning it sits way tooooo high out of the water. It's a bay boat at best...if that....If I were to boat on the coast it would be in a higher quality ocean going boat...

Sheesh! WTF?

When did I call your SL262 a turd?
I was talking to ric.

All of us but one knew you were talking to ric, not sure why "he" missed it, maybe Two Too many cocktails before posting ?

Anyway, back to the topic. I do have two 50ft. Marinco 30 amp shore power cords I no longer need from my cruiser days. One is about
8 years old, the other is only 3 years old. Both work like new. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.
