Hi,

I'm new to forum and looking to buy a 268. I sold my 18' openbow late last summer and looking to buy a larger boat by spring. I have a slip in a yacht club so i need the boat. there are a few Vista 268 and Chaparral 270 and Many Sea Ray's. Looking for recommendations, what to look for, should i be looking for larger boats. It's 2 adults and 2 kids (8-10). Boating out of the Boston harbor, Islands, Wingaersheek beach, ...etc. May a trip to the cape. Planning to spend weekends, maybe try a a longer trips ..etc.

Thought? feedback recommendation?

WTB, prefer single owner, freshwater, between 2007 - 2014.

The new Vista 255 OB is awesome but $$$$.

Welcome!

I only have experience with bow riders. Currently own a 2012 FW H260. I prefer the interior layout of the Vista series over Chaparral just based on the few I've been on. We almost purchased a 2016 Chap 307 SSX but then backed out. The fit and finish of both Four Winns and Chaparrals are very similar in my opinion.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Maybe the Vista folks will see this thread.

You won’t find a 268 made in 2007 or newer, the models all changed..... I love My 2002 Vista 268, but would love to go to a 318 or larger :lol:
