Gorgeous Capn! If you end up going for that, find a buyer for my 225 and I'll buy your 268!

I will be looking at the 530 tomorrow when I am there, my BIL is moving up from his 356MY to this 530, and I want to see it while I am checking out a Vista they have at the same storage facility.

As much as I love my Four Winns, My wife and I have allready decided on our next boat. 2001-2003 396 Carver Aft Cabin. The unfortunate thing is that day is probably 10 years away.

I went to the GR show yesterday afternoon/evening. Biggest FW was a 248 cruiser and a SL262. Lots of small runabouts and such. Show was quite a bit smaller this year (as expected) and nothing really caught my eye. A few things I did find.
1. No formula 270BR, but they did have a 26 footer. I was not that impressed.
2. Cobalt has a new dealer closer to GR, but their new interior is way to "mercedes like" for my taste. It's almost tacky and over the top.
3. Azure has a REALLY nice 23 foot bowrider. Tons of room, storage, and little things. My buddy will put them near the top of his list when ready to buy.
4. If I were to buy a cruiser in the 36-40 foot range, you would be hard to get me away from a Regal. What a beautiful boat.
5. I'm still not sold on the SL262. I like my 260 horizon much better and I'm confident I have more interior room than the 262.
6. Folks at FW know about our little forum here...
