Beyond excited!!

To celebrate our 50th birthday and 25th anniversary, the wife and I set out to find the ultimate Vista. For us that's a 318. Just returned from Chattanooga, TN after sea trialing a 2007 model with low hours, 350 Mercruisers, DTS, etc. Assuming the survey goes well tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. We will be the proud owners of this lady!

Jumping from a 268 to a 318 is a little intimidating but I'm ready!

Congrats on the 318 V that or a 328 V is what my wife and I have been thinking about for some time now, but we can't seem to pull the trigger! :cry: I saw a 318 Vista in my searches in Chatanogga and thought it looked nice, maybe it was the same one. :) We boat at Dale Hollow Lake in TN, which lake do you boat at? Good luck with the survey and enjoy the extra room that you will have :mrgreen:

We are Richmond, VA boaters now in love with what the Tennessee River has to offer. Looked at both. For us, easy decision for the 318 but guess that's why there are so many boat choices.....personal preference. Our big desire...a boat from fresh water.

Congrats.

I made the move from an '04 268 to an '08 318 and LOVE it. We considered a 328 but I really like the 318 styling.

Congratulations as well. You will find the 318 easier to drive than the 268.

You will be fine. My very first boat was my 318, and I love it. It is easy to handle, and great space for her size.

Cheers
