Good Afternoon Four Winns Boaters
I am one of the founders of Four Winns boats and my sons and I are now dealers in Fort Myers, FL. We have several
real clean 318 Vista for sale if any of you are into moving up. We have also a new 378 Vista and a new 358 we can make
a buyer happy with a great price. Both are diesel powered.
Happy Boating :D

Pictures? More specs? Prices?

Welcome to the forum! If this really is one of the original Winn founders - your involvement in the forum would be fantastic!

Love to hear how things are in Florida and the boats you are looking to find new homes for!

My wife and I stopped by your dealer in Fort Myers and we where very impressed. Your salesmen was polite knowledgeable and didn't mind us browsing (and dreaming of our next boat).

Welcome Bill.

You got to post some photos and stuff from the good ol days!


I would love to upgrade to a larger Vista, but unfortunately we have fallen victim of the down economy. :cry: Boat trips this year must be chosen very wisely.

What is the name of the dealership and the location? I'd be glad to check out the prices. I want to move up but my problem has been in trying to move my '99 298 Vista.

I suspect it is Boaters Landing

As for unloading your 298, I'm confident most dealers will take it in on a trade, but depending on what/if you owe on it, you will not get a good trade in price, compared to what you might get selling it yourself. I guess it depends on how bad you really want a different boat.

Mr. Winn - It's an honor for me at least to see you here in the forum - there are many a loyal customer sharing both praise and complaint on the various product lines and frankly it would be increadible to have contributions from the founders themselves.
Sadly, for the moment I am not in the postion to make an uprade of the scale you mention but I do look forward to the day that I can. In the meantime I very much look forward to any inside assistance that you are in the position to share and as your time allows with myself or the others.

+1 on any historical photos you are willing to share. We LOVE photos here! Classic marketing and manufacturing would be really cool.

Hmmph. I am willing to bet that Chapparal, Crownline or the others don't have a forum with this kind of content! :wink:

Yep.

Owned and managed by members of the Winn family that stated the legacy of FOUR WINNS boats. Boater's Landing understands the importance of the right boat at the right price for your "fun on the water experience." Stop by and meet George Winn at our Fort Myers Store, or Billy Willy Winn at our Cape Barbour location, or any of our sales professional to find out how you can become part of the Boater's Landing family of recreational boaters too.

I will vouch for them, Boaters Landing is were we purchased our V318 and two other boats over the past few years. They are great people to work with from the salesmen to the service department and I can't say enough about the Winn's. I would recomend them to anyone.
So do you think that is enough to save a few bucks on the next one :mrgreen:
