Hey guys. Its been a while since I've posted here, but we moved up to a large motoryacht and live aboard full time now! My Vista 298 "Pelican Reef" is for sale. About 500 hours on the twin 5.0GXIs, a Kohler 5kw genny, new canvas, and new 12,000BTU air conditioner. Just had her compounded and polished and fresh bottom paint. She has been loved and its time to find her a new owner. I have her listed with a broker at the moment and this is the listing:

(unfortunately the boat broker pics don't do justice)

Me, my wife, and four kids cruised all over south florida and to Bimini/Bahamas on Pelican Reef. Such an awesome family boat. Stayed for 10 days in Bimini and were at home with her air conditioned cabin, microwave, fridge, cooktop, etc... I posted this video of us cruising to Bimini a few years ago:

And here is another randon boating video for your viewing pleasure (lots of boat shots toward the middle of the video):

Time for a new owner since she doesn't get used a much as she should now that we have other boats! Any questions just let me know.

- Brian

Congrats on the purchase of your new vessel. Nice video, thanks for posting and good luck on your sale of the 298.

P.S. - Why not keep the 298 and use it as a tender for the new boat? :) New boat looks great.

Enjoy.

Mike.

What a great video and great price!! Florida is a boater's paradise!! The Bimini water looks amazing - swimming dogs, conch shells, star fish, rays, coral beds & fish (shark!!!!!) - lucky kids and awesome parents. Nice job on videography and production - love the bottles at the end!

Good luck w/ sale!!
