Congrats on the quick sale. Sometimes selling a boat can be a real pain, and when it goes smoothly, it's much easier on you.
I sometimes miss our Vista, and our 282 Monty, but rarely. Since we moved to a 20ft. bowrider, we have had more fun, explored
many more lakes and rivers and maintenance costs are nill compared to owning a cruiser. I'm sure you know that Cruiser's Yachts
(now Cruiser's Sport Series) bought the molds and tooling from Azure a couple of years ago, and most of the line is now made at
the Cruiser's plant in Wisconsin. They were, and
are very well built boats. The AZ200 being a "deckboat" will give you a lot of room for it's size.
Amazing amount of space for passengers in the bow.

The semi-stepped hull is a great feature on these boats.

With the 5.7L engine, it will be a peppy boat and should give you many years of enjoyment. Fugly ? Naaah, I think it is a well designed deckboat, and I think it looks much better than a Funship. Those, IMO are Fugly but functional.
Take care John !
