Default Just Bought a Four Winns Vista 358, Did I pay too much?

I am pretty new to the boating scene. I just bought my first boat
this year, really liked it and am buying a 358 Vista by Four Winns
after looking at Regul, Sea Ray and a few others. My question is
this, what should have I paid for this boat? It has the 6.2 Mercs
with Nav. 2 package.


What other options? AC, genset, canvas cover, camper canvas, etc.

What area are you in?

I have the 348. This is the same boat; they just renamed it 358 for
marketing hype. It's been a great boat. We bought it instead of the 340DA.
Mainly due to the lack of walk-through windshield on the SeaRay, narrow
gunwales, no passenger lounger seat and a rather boring interior. Not to
mention being about $60k less (beginning of 2006) than several 340DA on the
market at the time.

Those are all the same reasons I went with Four Winns over Sea Ray.
You hit every one of them. I am in the Midwest. The boat has all the
options you listed plus polished chrome windshield.
