Finally found a nice Four Winns 278 and hauled it to it's new home on Texoma last weekend. Picked it up from San Marcos. I've been looking for a long time and decided on the Four Winns. I was looking between 26'-30'. Had to rent a truck to haul it. That was quite the experience... only had 1 flat. :lol:

Here are a few pics.

Really haven't had too much time to spend on it. Did fill the fridge with beer!

Thanks guys! I'm only about 50 minutes from where I keep it so hopefully I'll get to spend a lot of time on it. It's my 3rd boat. Can't get enough of them :mrgreen:

Wow I love the look of the Vista's during those years (2002-2008 I believe) Welcome to the Vista family!

Welcome to the forum. After purchasing our third Four Winns last year, and it being our first used boat, I have found this forum to be a great place to hang out.....tons of good advice. :D Best wishes!

Welcome aboard and I second the nice boat comment! You need an arch though :)

Flyer51, I looked at one with an arch, but I liked the openness without. Nice and sleek too. :mrgreen: That's really the only option it doesn't have.
