In this cruiser segment, Four Winns has lost their sales to the Regal 28 Express, Chap 270 Sig, Sea Ray 260DA, Monterey 260SCR. The few that have sold, are of these brands and models, Four Winns has been kicked to the curb by these boats.
I couldn't agree more. Four Winns IMO had one of the best looking and most accommodating cruiser's and it seems they just threw away a great design for these new contemporary designs. I look at the galley in the 275 and wonder why they got rid of all those cabinets. We don't have enough storage on our 268 and we have twice the cabinets!
Don't even get me started on the v305. After years of having loyalty to Four Winns, if I were shopping for a new boat today Four Winns wouldn't make my short list. Let's hope that new 24 ft cruiser in 2014 turn the tide.
