 Looking for a first step up to the cruising lifestyle? Or looking to simplify your life on the water? This 248 Vista is your best choice. This cruiser offers full big boat amenities, yet it is compact enough to trailer. Ample cockpit room and a cabin with 5’10” head room, a full head, well equipped galley area, the 248 Vista is clearly designed for live aboard convenience.

This Four Winns 248 Vista is in terrific condition, upholstery above and below decks is clean and well kept. The Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi/DP was replaced entirely in 2009 under warranty and now has only 40 hours. The bellows and gimbal bearing are also replaced. This boat has always been serviced by the dealer and is 100% up to standard.

On deck there is wraparound upholstered cockpit seating with a pedestal table that converts to a double berth for spill over sleeping accommodations. The extended swim platform with permanent swim ladder nearly doubles cockpit space and is useful additional space. The transom door leads directly to the cockpit seating and the built in cooler. Working forward is the double bench helm seat and a tidy helm station with everything you need at your fingertips. The walk through windshield gives access to the foredeck for sunbathing or tending the anchor. The navy blue bimini top is set for sun shade for the helm area as well as the cockpit, and the full camper back will give you secure weather protection if the weather turns foul. There is a lot of protected living space on deck for a 24 ft boat.

Below there is a comfortable vee berth that doubles as seating around the pedestal table, perfect for four adults. The bench seating extends aft down the starboard side. Opposite to port is a galley module with the traditional necessities, a galley sink, a one burner cook top, a refrigerator, and a microwave oven. Aft is the fully enclosed head with a manual marine head, vanity, sink, and shower.  All the way aft is a double berth behind the companionway. All is nice appointed, clean, and in excellent condition.

This boat has the Genmar First Mate alert system along with the Coast Guard package, lines, fenders, electronics, everything you need to get out on the water today.

All this luxury boat rides on a tandem axle trailer again in excellent condition.

This boat is priced to sell fast, a great opportunity to get started with a solid reliable pocket cruiser.
