Attended the Vancouver Boat Show yesterday. FW was not represented at all, while all other major competitors were there big & bold.

They weren't well-represented at the Atlantic City Boat Show either. Just three small boats. Disappointing. I don't know why they even bothered.

I just got back from the Nassau County (Long Island) boat show, they had a nice selection of boats there. I was impressed with the quality of the interior materials....

I just visited the Four Winns website to see their show/event list, and ironically I kept getting a message stating that "this page doesn't exist"! I think "this page doesn't exist" sums up their marketing department perfectly!!

I just happen to talk to the FW dealer here. They will be at the N.E. Boat Show next week.

The local FourWinns dealer had a nice display of boats at the Utah boat show this weekend, including 2011 and some 2012 models.

Mid-Atlantic boat show in Charlotte NC had no FW. My dealer gave up the line 2 years ago. He said he has been contacted by FW to come back but for now he carries Cobalt and the Yamaha jet boats.

They had a nice showing in Miami. 435, 305, 275 were all there as well as H210, the new H260 and cuddies.

Wasn't impressed enough to trade in our 278.

Does anyone really do payments of $629.57 per month for 15 years? That's insane!

Went to the Boston show last night.The biggest Four Winns was the 285.I saw sold signs on the Cruisers 360 and 420,Chaparral 330,and Monterey 340.Also,there was alot of traffic on the Formula and Sea Ray cruisers.Not sure what Four Winns is thinking by not displaying any large cruisers,while their competitors are displaying and selling boats.

Also noticed a few details on the new models where FW cheaped out. On the 305 the steps toward the bow area through the windshield were not molded in, just plastic add ons. The 275 also did not have the refined feel the 278/285 has.
