2006 Four Winns 31' _{(9.45 m)}

The Four Winns 318 Vista’s silhouette features the same sweeping sheer line that made the 348 such a head-turner. The deck style lines, curved windshield, triple port lite windows, and standard radar arch complete the 318’s distinctive profile. Four Winns offers the 318 in an all-white finish or the stunning Classic Color Band (CCB) option.

A two-tiered welded stainless steel bow rail is combined with an intermediate lifeline system to provide security in the foredeck area. In the cockpit, the 318’s seating includes a dual helm with flip-up bolsters, a port lounge, and U-shaped stern seating with a fill-in cushion. All are centered around a refreshment center with solid surface countertops, sink, beverage holders, and your choice of a refrigerator or ice maker. A removable table provides ample serving space.

The helm of the 318 illustrates why many will call this a boater’s boat. The center panel is reserved for optional factory or aftermarket electronics packages. On either side, Four Winns has placed an array of stainless steel bezel gauges, all made more visible thanks to a steering wheel with stainless spokes, woodgrain accents, and easy-grip sides. Stainless steel beverage holders complete the high-tech look.

The 318 Vista is available with twin MerCruiser stern drives ranging from the 220 HP 4.3 MPI to the 300 HP 350 MPI, or twin Volvo Penta stern drives from the 225 HP 4.3GXi to the 280 HP 5.7OSi Ocean Series drive with DuoProp. Engine access is made convenient thanks to an electric lift. A color-matched camper canvas system is included as standard equipment.

The floor plan of the 318 features a full couch in the center cabin. The couch converts to a berth for sleeping or, with the removable table in place, to a dining area. The raised V-berth sleeps two and features a privacy curtain along with storage beneath the berth and in the adjacent cedar-lined hanging locker.

In the mid-cabin, a U-shaped couch offers additional seating and also features a removable table. It can also be converted to a sleeping space. The mid-cabin includes a privacy curtain and storage beneath the seats and in the sidewalls.

Boaters can choose from three available interior fabric packages: Nautical Blue (shown), Natural Shell, and Black Stone—all available at standard pricing. In keeping with its extra-value philosophy, Four Winns includes matching throw pillows and V-berth fitted sheets to complete the stylish look and feel.

The recently introduced deck hatch screen system is also found aboard the 318. This system gives boaters the option of a screen-only or full privacy shade.

The galley of the 318 is a testament to the Four Winns design team’s ingenuity and experience. A coffee maker with stainless steel carafe tucks neatly into its own storage area. A solid surface countertop integrates the sink, sink cover, and cutting board. A microwave, refrigerator, two-burner electric stove, trash receptacle, and power outlets for small appliances are all neatly arranged in the galley. A flat-screen TV/DVD player is positioned above the stove, opposite the main cabin couch. Cabinetry throughout the boat is finished in rich cherry woodgrain laminate with a high-gloss protective coating.

Among the noteworthy interior standard features is a 10,000 BTU air conditioning/heating unit and factory-installed carbon monoxide monitors for peace of mind while sleeping.

Boaters who use their 318 for extended cruises will appreciate the many amenities designed into the enclosed head. A lockable door does double duty as a mirror. A VacuFlush porcelain toilet is standard. The vanity features a solid surface counter, stainless rail/towel holder, ample storage, and a mirror. Tank level indicators for potable water and waste are conveniently located in the head.
