I have two friends with the same year 268 Vista. The cockpit cover is just fine for trailering, as well as keeping the rain out. It's fastened to the bottom of the windshield with snaps, and on the gunwales as well. It wont flop around or blow off in almost any conditions. We used the cockpit cover on our 268 in it's slip most of the time during the summer. The cockpit was bone dry no matter how much rain we had. It was also much easier to put on at the end of the day than the camper canvas with all the eisenglass and side curtains.
For that year of a boat, you will probably not find any dealer that has one in stock. You can try and see if a dealer can order one for you, but unlikely Four Winns would have one either. Your best bet is to have one made at a canvas shop locally. Made from sunbrella fabric, it will probably run you about $800 custom made.
