As-Is | Cosmetic Project (minor) | Mechanically Sound

This 1997 Four Winns 238 Vista is being offered as-is and priced accordingly to reflect its current cosmetic condition. The boat runs and operates properly, but it is dirty from storage and would benefit greatly from detailing and cosmetic refreshes. For the right buyer, a little effort will go a long way.

Mechanically, the boat is reported to be in good working order with all major systems functioning. Engine hours are unknown as there is no hour meter; based on ownership history and usage, hours are estimated around 500-600, but cannot be verified.

The trailer has recently been gone through and is very road ready. The seller had planned to tow the boat to Michigan for summer use, but ultimately purchased a larger boat instead. The trailer is included in the price and adds meaningful value and convenience for the next owner.

Notable points:

  • As-is sale, priced to reflect cosmetic condition

  • Trailer included and recently serviced, road ready

  • Mechanically sound and operational

  • Dry-stacked its entire life at the current marina

  • Reportedly lightly used by the original owner

  • Classic 238 Vista layout with cockpit seating, cabin berth, galley, and enclosed head

  • Upholstery, interior surfaces, and exterior cosmetics show age and wear

This is a preliminary listing prior to cleaning or cosmetic work. It is not being marketed as a turnkey boat, but rather as an opportunity to step into a proven Four Winns cruiser platform at a very approachable price point - especially with a serviced, road-ready trailer included.
