The PowerBoat Guide had this to say:
With her wide beam, generous accommodations and impressive standard equipment list, the 298 Vista became a popular model for Four Winns following her 1999 introduction. She's built on a relatively heavy modified-hull with cored hullsides, and her extended swim platform-strong enough to carry a PWC-adds much to her modern appearance. The 298's plush interior is arranged in the conventional manner with double berths fore and aft, a convertible dinette, a well-equipped galley, and a standup head compartment with a VacuFlush toilet. Note that a sliding screen door-a seldom seen accessory on any express cruiser-backs the companionway hatch. On deck, the seat cushion on the driver's side of the double helm seat flips up to create a leaning post, and molded steps in the console provide access to the foredeck via the walk-through windshield. Standard features include a removable aft seat, cockpit table, tilt wheel and full camper canvass.
