We've been at the Miami boat show and are giving strong consideration to purchasing a new V435 and was hoping to get some feedback from people who own and use the boat. We would be powering with IPS600's and want to order the hydraulic platform. Also would option it with the second head with the washer and dryer. Can anyone share experiences of ownership? The Four Winns people have been great to work with and have been willing to do some limited but valuable customization.

I didn't want to leave that boat. By far my favorite out of anything in any size. I'm jealous if you get one

Not 100% positive, but I don't think there is anyone on this board that owns one.

mkivbren was looking for one and has some points but I don't think he going to actually buy one since he doesn't even use his 338.

Boat will be at Norris lake in TN. Thursday we went to the FW factory in Cadillac MI to take a look at the way boats are built and to get into more details about options, etc. Overall I liked what I saw and believe they make a good quality product. FW will be following up with me in a couple of days answering a few more requests and then we'll make a decision on how to proceed ahead.

Hey Bill, Where do you guys go on Norris Lake? I have a place down there not far from Twin cove. I grew up there when i was a kid, and was dragged to Ohio. I was able to finnaly able to "go home" after I married my wife and her folks discovered Norris ( I had a hand in that) They used to go to Cumberland.

If you decide to get this beauty :D , what are you going to do with your current boat ( 318 Vista). are you going to trade it in or are you going to sell it? :wink: :wink: We boat at Dale Hollow Lake in TN, and might be interested in upgrading our 2008 V 278 :mrgreen:

He owns a 328 Vista currently, but it may be a better choice for you than a V318 ?

We keep the 328 at Shanghai Resort near the middle of the lake on the north side. If you are over on our part of the lake,stop by and say hello!
