Our impressions:
My wife loved the cockpit. It had 2 conversation areas and had sunbrella fabric intead of vinyl. Kind of cozy.
Head seemed smaller than my 248.
Very open below. Guess for a couple you don't need privacy? But what about a small family?
Galley in cockpit. OK in person. I still don't know???
Radar arch/canvas= nice.
Costs more than I can afford!

I'm sorry, I can't get into feeling that boat at all, and if FourWinns continues down that design style road, I'll be shopping elsewhere, it's freakin hideous!!! Sorry, just had to vent.........

+1. For years I felt Four Winns style was one of best in the industry and just kept getting better, but I fear their style has taken a drastic turn for the worst. The interiors look cheap and the exteriors are weird looking. I've tried to like the 305 but can't. The 275 wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for those boxy Ikea cabinets, and if an arch were added. It just seems they are trying too hard to be innovative.
