With a reputation built on quality craftsmanship, thoughtful layouts, and strong hull design, Four Winns has consistently produced boats that appeal to both first-time buyers and experienced boaters alike. Their Vista series of express cruisers is particularly well regarded for maximizing usable space, offering upscale fit-and-finish, and delivering a smooth, confident ride in a variety of conditions.
The 288 Vista is one of Four Winns’ most popular express cruisers, offering an exceptional balance of cockpit entertaining space and comfortable overnight accommodations. Measuring just over 28 feet with a wide beam, the layout features a spacious cockpit with wraparound seating, a wet bar, and easy access to the extended swim platform. Below deck, the cabin is intelligently designed with a forward V-berth, a convertible dinette, a well-appointed galley, an enclosed head with shower, and a generous mid-cabin berth—making it ideal for weekends on the water. Power is twin 5.0L Volvo Penta stern drive engines, providing reliable performance, strong cruising efficiency, and confident handling. The mid-2000s models, including 2005, benefited from refined interior finishes, improved ergonomics, and updated styling compared to earlier versions.
This 2005 Four Winns 288 Vista represents an excellent opportunity to step into a well-sized cruiser with strong value and versatility. It is in excellent condition with many upgrades. New flooring, new canvas, new fridge and new propellers show pride of ownership. This 288 has been professionally maintained. Ideal for Great Lakes boating, the twin-engine setup offers both performance and peace of mind, while the spacious layout comfortably accommodates family and guests for day cruising or extended weekends aboard. The model is known for its user-friendly handling, thoughtful storage throughout, and a cockpit designed for socializing. Whether you’re upgrading from a bowrider or looking for an entry into cruising, this 288 Vista delivers a proven platform with a reputation for comfort and reliability.
