35 footer with LOA close to 40ft. Different styling for a flybridge boat. Not sure if it's really
suited to off shore use though.

Yep. :wink:

I wish them luck, the late 90's EPIC ski-boat with Lexus power did not sell well.

My neighbors did this to their garage. They built a porch on the roof. Never quite looks right.

It would look good without the flying bridge.

I think we've made the decision that our next boat will be a sedan bridge, but this won't be it. One of the things that I've liked about Four Winns is that the, for the most part they never really looked dated. Our 96 240H didn't look much different than some newer models of other brands. Except for the trimmings the 328 still has the basic lines as newer boats. I get it, Four Winns wants to tap the European market, but I think they will loose some traditional boaters. Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm over thinking it, but when we do start to shop I will probably have to look at other brands. Had great luck with Four Winns, but not liking the new models so far!

Cougar, I kinda like it too.
Lakebum, I'm with you on the FW styling from what I have seen lately. Also, next boat for us will be a sedan bridge as well. Much more liveable space in a 36 foot flybridge boat than any 36 foot express cruiser. Already know what boat we want too, but need to wait a few more years until the price gets closer to our budget, and daughter is out of college, house paid off etc.

LOVED my Four Winns express. But it's true what they say... once you go to a bridge, you never go back (until your knees give out).

Sierra, I want first dibs on your boat when you go bigger.

We are going 40-45' for our next boat. Probably a sedan, but maybe an express depending on what we find.
