    2002 Four Winns 348 Vista

    I would assume that if you get wet readings they're accurate? I'd be inclined to walk away from a boat which showed wet readings in transom, stringers or deck. If I don't read moisture, and I wanted to purchase, I'd pay for a survey.

    2002 Four Winns 348 Vista

    I've not found one in my area yet. I searched IFourwinns, no meaningful returns. Thanks for the advice on a survey, it's an absolute part of my plan. I have a moisture meter, so I'll do a bit of crawling in some bilges. Shopping for a used boat is a grueling process.

    2002 Four Winns 348 Vista

    Looking for someone who has knowledge of this boat. We are interested in overall opinion of seaworthiness and room. We intend to sleep in the foreword berth. We are curious if it has adequate head room and if it can be accessed (is there viable steps) on both sides of the berth. TIA

    Of course that would be great. Most sellers want a signed agreement before sea trial. I don't know how to guarantee rough seas for sea trial.

    The more I read the more I begin to believe Sea Ray Sundancer is the better choice. There are substantially more of them, likely more parts and facilities available to maintain them and better hull design.

    Great points. I like to do my own maintenance. To this point it's 35 years of outdrive boats.

    We're current Four Winns owners. The reason we're considering Four Winns above others is walk through windshield. Seaworthiness is number 1

    We are looking into purchasing a 34 foot cruiser. We have narrowed down to three potential boats, Sea Ray 340, Formula 34pc or Four Winns 348 vista. The layout and size is perfect. We need to know which boat does best in heavier seas, 3 or 4 foot. We boat the Great Lakes, Lake Michigan. I've...
