I bought my 99 Vista 258 in January and it didnt come with the v-berth/dinette table. Can somebody *please* post a picture of theirs and/or a few measurements?? What Im going to have to do is, based on measurements and picture, trace a piece of posterboard among the fill in area for the v-berth, transfer that to some kind of wood, cut it to fit and then get it laminated.

Otherwise Four Winns wants $250 for the table & $100 for all of the mounting hardware.

You could buy the mounts from Overton's and just make a table
yourself. That way you can change the shape of it to suit your
needs.
Good Luck !

Capt, I appreciate the pictures but that actually is not the table I need. I have the cockpit table you took pictures of. I need the "oddly" shaped V-berth fill in table that has 2 legs for support and fills the whole v-berth area.

Can anybody else help me out?? :)

If you don't want to fork out the dough for FW factory table, I would just trace the filler table from another 258, and cut it from wood as you say.
That would be the cheapest way to go.

Capt, thanks for the advice. I dont want to to fork out the $ to FW if I dont have to, and I've found a member from the FW yahoo group with a 1999 258 that is sending me via USPS a "life size" trace of his galley table. So im probably going to run out to home depot, buy some chopping board, cut it to size and seal it. As far as the mounts go, im going to check out my local boat salvage yard for the table legs/mounts. I will post my progress! 8)

Drop FW a line and tell them your situation. I'd bet they will send you a drawing of the table and its dimensions.
