I just found this forum and wanted to say Hi
I am a big Four Winns fan and just went up from a 98 Sundowner 205 to a mint 238 Vista
I am really pleased with her.
I was going after somthing I could trailer with no problems bacause I am a fanatic about keeping her clean even though we go out between 30 to 40 times a year

Welcome to the forum. Your signiture shows 238 Vista dlx. I'm assuming "dlx" stands for delux, if so I'm curious to know what features does it have over the standard Vista model as I've never heard of a dlx.

I am not sure what is standard but it even says DLX after the 238 vista factory stickers'
It does have cental air/heat I am not sure what other options so I couldnt really say dor sure what the DLX is for

Not sure what dlx means, but looks like you figured out a good place to hold your beer and chips...

anyplace they dont fall for the dogs to get em' is a good place.
She is a very clean boat, and I practically stole her. We are having a blast with this boat, Its like night and day from a Sundowner205. Just waiting on one piece of the camper canvas to come back from my "top guy" so we can sleep on her

Welcome to the forum and nice boat. Cape Cod chips are simply the best too, my favourite chip!

I can assure you neutron's 238 dlx will be as ship shape as if it were new.
I know because I have his '98 205 Sundowner. She is a class act on every
lake I take her to. Makes me so proud!!!
