This boat looks like an optical illusion two into one, and what's with the door on the refrigerator it looks as if they looked around and said. oops no frige so they put it in the closet. Now you open the closet hold it open while you open the frige hold that door while you grab your chilled wine from the rack... Tooo much

That is the Master Stateroom door thats open in front of the fridge. It has a stopper that either latches it open or closed.

I think galley in the cockpit is a really good idea. I mean. . how many people put grills in the cockpit already?

But that's where the compliments end. I for one have severely mixed views on hard tops. On balance, if you predominately use the boat in "nice" weather, that huge windshield is a big drawback. Once you get water spray all over it. . you simply won't be able to see where you are going.

It would look better inverted....not to mention great stability. :grin:

That looks pretty cool to me! But, It looks like that top deck should slide forward over the helm to cover that area in inclimate weather!

I 100% agree that is the ugliest boat ever made. Looks like a giant hiking boot to me, just terrible lines.

I was always told that Carver designs boats from the inside out, and does not worry about how the outside looks. This shows here.

I actually like it. A little interior remodeling and I'd float it!

It's a buoyant Popemobile!

I love that they are up on plane with people on the bow and leaning against the bow rail! No PFD's or anything. Great advertisement...

Yea... I bet they photoshopped that.

The point Todd made about the top deck sliding forward to cover the helm would be better, but I like the boat!

That thing looks like a prop from an old Woody Allen movie!!

....are you guys forgetting our own ugly assed boat? The designer must have been the guy who put in his two weeks notice after Cynthia Trudeau was named CEO and passed him up before the new guy got the helm.

I'm late to the party. On first reading, I thought you guys were just being mean, brand-snobs...then I followed the link...

THAT HAS TO BE THE UGLIEST RECENT BOAT I'VE SEEN!!!

What the hell were they thinking?

 

[Jaws]

The recent direction of Four Winns design strays from what I used to like about the marque. Now they are getting ugly. When I looked for my previous boat I had it narrowed down to a '92 370 Sea Ray 'Dancer and the '92 Four Winns 365 Vista. We chose the latter mainly because of the terrifc open and airy salon with its unique "solarium". The boat performed well although it was heavy on fuel with the 502's. I wished for the Cummins version. It was however a solid, comfortable boat that was close on style to the Sea Ray.

Anyways on the next 10 foot jump, Sea Ray was about the only choice we had aside from Regal. No regrets at all.

You guys notice the entry "gate" to get in from off the swim platform on the 4-winns?! Looks like they may as well have put one of those amusement part turnstiles in there with the little counter on the side.
