This is a great family cruiser! Well equiped, economical, and easy to drive and dock but roomy enough for the whole family. Get a slip for your “cottage on the lake” or keep it on the included trailer and save some $$! With just around 800 hours, and a fresh rebuild on the GM 350, this boat is sure to last for many trouble free years to come. The outdrive received a full service last season including new bearings and bellows. She will cruise around 25 and top out in the upper 30’s. The Vista will sleep 4 comfortably with two in the forward V-berth and 2 in the roomy aft cabin. She is equipped with a stainless sink, refrigerator, alcohol/electric stove, microwave, and full head. It also has a halon “Fire Boy” system, hydraulic trim tabs AM/FM/CD with remote, VHF, digital depth sounder. Additional equipment includes, fire extinguishers, fenders, dock lines, anchor and rode, and mooring cover. It also has a full camper cover but the canvas has aged and is in need of replacing. We only went out on nice days so it never bothered us. This boat is priced VERY aggressively for a quick sale. Don’t let the low price scare you, it is valued at much more. I lost me job and need to sell ASAP! Special NYSpeed price of $6900 on CL for more. ![http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1846_small.jpg](http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1846_small.jpg) ![http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1847_small.jpg](http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1847_small.jpg) ![http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1848_small.jpg](http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1848_small.jpg) ![http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1850_small.jpg](http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l233/badcompany_3648/IMG_1850_small.jpg) ---

Note to potential buyers: Loan interest would be tax deductible as the boat has sleeping and “restroom” facilities. Just something to think about. ---

Just something to think about. +1 I was just coming in here to post that. You can deduct the interest as a 2nd home if it has a head, galley and a berth.

no, never called M&M kids. But if u buy it you could name it that! Yes, very true, interest is tax deductable! Almost like 0% financing! Truth be told, this is my second boat and it needs to go. I just bought a larger one and need the money to add cool electronics! I have had good interest from craigslist and I don’t think it will last too long. Come take a look! ---

I don’t have anything to pull it with either. Get a slip for the summer and keep it in the water. You’ll use the boat more that way. 7500# with trailer dry. ---
