Four Winns on ebay

[harvey26]

Four Winns 248 on ebay at the moment - looks good - does anyone have any experience of these and is it too much to pay??

If you put a link to the auction, we can have a look for you /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

In terms of Fourwinns, they are a pretty solid US builder with a decent reputation. Probably above Bayliner and Maxum but just below Searay -but then that is just my opinion (and remeber, I have owned a Bayliner and liked it, just aware of what you get).

Not only has he joined the forum to flog his dodgy US import but he's also a dealer /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I like the way he goes into great detail about the trailer but fails to mention that it's not road legal in the UK.

Oh, and YES, it is overpriced.

I had a Four Winns 268, excellent boat for a wide variety of uses.

Unfortunately the description is misleading, the swim platform and CO2 detection system were standard (Not extras as stated). UK supplied Volvo 5.7's all came with stainless DP's not the ali ones on this. Uk boats also had alcohol/electric hobs, the ceramic hob in this one is a US version (120v ?).

The trailer is a US spec one, doubt its legal in the UK, if its even got a 50mm coupling I'd be suprised.

But the real problem with this one is its 5k overpriced, check around the market and you will find a few at 10k less than this.

To sum up I would'nt go near it, theres cheaper and better ones around.

I was under the impression that US boats that are for the UK market have the letters UK included in the serial No (normally stamped on the transom)

Please take some advice and never buy a boat on eBay. Place is full of scammers.

Couldn't agree more!
And I think at £19k the boat may be worth a punt (no pun intended)
