2006 Four Winns 248 Vista

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much living space Four Winns squeezed into 24 feet. The molded steps and opening windshield make getting to the bow sunpad simple and safe, even underway. In the cockpit, the aft bench and port lounge create a cozy conversation pit, and the removable table stows away quickly when it’s time to open up the deck for fishing, swimming, or gear. Below, the mid-cabin offers a tucked-away berth that’s perfect for kids or guests, while opening ports and overhead hatch keep the cabin bright and ventilated. Thoughtful touches like plentiful cup holders, integrated swim ladder, and smart storage cubbies show this is a boat designed by people who actually spend time on the water.

For local waters that mix sheltered bays with choppier open stretches, the 248 Vista’s deep-V hull and Volvo 5.7 power deliver confident handling without jumping to a larger, harder-to-dock cruiser. It’s trailerable for those who like to explore different ramps and marinas, yet still offers true overnight comfort with its enclosed head, proper galley, and dual-berth layout. The extended swim platform makes sandbar raft-ups and watersports easy, while the compact footprint helps keep slip fees and maintenance more manageable. For boaters who want one vessel that can day cruise, entertain, and comfortably spend a night aboard, this model fits the way people actually boat in this region.
