We ended up staying with Four Winns for at least 1 more boat. I had a deal I couldn't pass up. Looked at Sea Ray and Formula, but ended up purchasing a 06 378 Vista. Need to address a few little things (cosmetic), but pretty excited about it.
I'll post some pics once we get it home cleaned and tightened up.

Our 378 coming home. Should be a great weekend!
Looks smaller on the trailer.

Chicago- It wasn't listed anywhere, but a friend of a friend that wanted to get out of boating.

Very nice!

The bow is sitting low in the trailer which masks the size, I agree. However, look at the back side, and the amount of boat you have over and behind the 3 axles. That boat is a monster!

Must need an F150 to pull her eh?... Lol

We can't even tow a 278 in the UK ( Europe in fact) due to a maximum non HGV trailer 3,500kg limit. ( boat, trailer and all the stuff in the boat !). The Universe would end if we did, apparently.
