Summary
The 2005 Four Winns 268 Vista is a popular 26-foot (28'2" LOA with the swim platform) express cruiser featuring an 8'6" beam, a dry weight of roughly 6,700 lbs, an 85-gallon fuel capacity, and standard single-engine sterndrive power with a 300 hp Volvo Penta V8
DETAILS

This is a very well maintained 2005 Four Winns Vista 268 powered by a Volvo Penta 5.7L V8 with

only 433 hours.


A good-looking boat, the Four Winns 268 Vista manages to retain a relatively handsome profile in spite of the high freeboard required by boats of this type for interior headroom. This is a competitively priced family cruiser with an attractive midcabin interior and a comfortable cockpit. Built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull, the 268 is trailerable thanks to her narrow 8'6" beam, but with a combined boat and trailer weight of over 8,000 pounds, a heavy-duty tow vehicle will be required for any trailering adventures. The cockpit of the 268 has more seating than many 26-footers thanks to a huge U-shaped aft settee that converts into a big sun lounge. Visibility from the helm is very good, and a walk-through windshield with molded steps next to the helm provides easy access to the foredeck. The interior, which is very well finished, comes with a V-berth, a full galley, dinette table and a head with shower. Additional features include an extended swim platform, transom door, foredeck sun pads and a transom storage compartment. Among several engine options, a single 300 Volvo Penta hp 5.7-liter I/O will cruise at 28-30 knots and reach a top speed of around 38 knots.
