We just bought our 2001 248 Vista. Really happy about our purchase. It was owned for many years by an older couple and maintained at a local marina with an open check book, I know the owner of this marina so I trust him. It also has just under 200 hours on it. Kind of hard to believe that it doesn't have more but they didn't go very far in it.

I'm not new to boating just new to Four Winns. I'm glad I joined this forum and hope to learn a lot.

Ill try to get some pics up soon.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad to be here. I've been wanting to post pics but I just can't figure it out. It keeps saying the pic is too big. I've tried to post a pic in my sig but keep getting the same thing, pic is too big. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's very frustrating that I can't upload pics from my iPad and iPhone. Sorry guys I have a lot of pics that I'd like to share but I don't know how. Please help.

Yes you have to host (upload) your pics on some other site then link to them. It's all explained pretty well here http://www.smwebhead.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1877

Size limit is 1024 wide x 768 high (and not vice-versa).

If your picture hosting site does not resize them for you, then I find one easy way to do it is to email the picture to yourself, and use the resize option when you email it.
