Not sure if these two are much different than a 2009, just have hull numbers designating as 2010 models. Both claim to be lower than a 2009. Not sure about that either. My guess is that both boats were ordered, and started in late 2009, financing fell through, and the dealers picked them up at a decent price.
The V378/V385 ???? is at my local dealer, I can get a price if anyone is serious, and the V338/V365???? is in RI. Both are beautiful boats , no matter what they really are. :wink:

2010 378

2010 V338

Can't afford a new boat but I sure like that Four Winns Dealership. I had them looking for a boat for me and they worked very hard. They are very customer oriented. I live 7 hours away from them and use them for parts.

Yes that V338 is a great looking boat!! lol maybe i'm a little biased

Here's the model confusion layed out as best I can for you guys...... FW started making 2010's in early spring instead of mid summer like normal. These boats were numbered as 2010 never 2009s. The GREAT part about these boats is that they are at 2009 pricing and not 2010!!! In mid summer the true step to the 2010 model year happened and the V series got renamed. My same V338 is a V355 without the big NEW price tag.

to MKIVBREN.... there are plenty of 2009s out there and we already have 4 or 5 new 2010's in stock including the new Limited H180 to go head to head with some other low priced 18' boats

That's cool, when I said 09s I meant big cruisers. There's certainly not a lot of them around me! I see 07s and 08s.. I wanted to go check out the new interior in person. They aren't as prevalent as the amount of 08s that were put on the floor, obviously. Do you have production numbers for the 09 and '10 338?

I just wonder if those big boats are going to move with the new, big boat prices.

Heck - after seeing 318's run for 110k or so for a while... and 338's from 140 on up brand new... we all need a little help with resale.

Knowing that - if I want to trade mine in... I should be able to trade mine in for well over 150k if a new 2010 is 260k+ - right? :D

Cougar, I like the way you think about the resale numbers, now all we need is a few buyers at those numbers for some 318's right?

The 378 with IPS would certainly be sweet :wink: And it is very nicely appointed.

I wonder if it's the IPS 500 (Diesel) or the 550G (Gas) .... perhaps, since the Gas is rated at 400-hp, and the Diesel at 370-hp .... the listing's 352-HP may imply diesel. That would be a nice set-up.

That's a $450,000 to $500,000 list price boat!

....'course, I'm way outta my league and just dreamin' anyway.

My 338 is hull number 001 :D The new layouts are very nice with the lighter wood and interior fabric. They really make the boats look big down below.

Cougar, I agree with you on the numbers.... people are going to have to get used to seeing realistic pricing again soon since we are blowing out leftovers at amazing price tags. Hopefully the resale of your boats will bounce up like you said!!!
