I just joined and just became a Four Winns owner 2 weeks ago. She's a Vista 278 Twin VP sx drives with 5 litre EFI engines. We looked for a boat to fit our criteria for several months and stumbled on this one. Oh yeah,,,a 95 vintage but with 96 cabin windows and I have no clue why. Maybe I'll find out in here. She's in great shape with a great survey too. I've been floating for over 40 years and a licenced mechanic in Canada, and yes I work on boats too. I'm looking forward to sharing some good Four Winns info with everyone. I tried to post a pic,,,hope it works :roll:

Welcome aboard from just a wee bit further North!

That's a beautiful looking Vista. A perfect boat for cruising Simcoe and the Trent.

Enjoy!

Great looking boat! How many hours? We've had ours for 11 seasons and put on over 800 hours. It has been a very dependable and seaworthy craft. Happy and safe boating. Dan

Thanks for the warm welcomes and comps on the 278 gang. Dan, she's got just 700 hours on the engines,,,,so far

I should get them over 1000 this summer,,,if summer ever gets here.
