Clean, well-maintained 2006 Four Winns 278 Vista express cruiser — ready for Chesapeake Bay weekends right now.
I've taken care of this boat throughout my ownership. It's been professionally winterized every off-season and stored in dry storage when not in use, then kept in a wet slip during the boating season for easy access. Recent mechanical updates include new dual batteries, alternator, starter, and fuel pump — so the systems are fresh and reliable.
KEY FEATURES:
- Full cabin with dual sleeping areas — Spacious forward V-berth plus a mid-cabin sleeping area, full enclosed head with stand-up shower, and a galley with sink, stove, refrigerator, and microwave. The Vista series was designed for genuine overnighting, and this one delivers.
-
- Wide cockpit layout with stern seating and table — Refreshment center with built-in sink and cooler storage, transom walkthrough with door and storage locker, transom shower, and swim platform with ladder. Great for entertaining at anchor or at the dock.
-
- Professionally maintained with fresh bottom paint — Hydraulic trim tabs, windlass anchor with foot switches, shore power, water heater, and air conditioning round out the ready-to-go package.
