Four Winns dealer had one of these at the show with the same carpeting in it, not sure if I liked the carpet or not but it sure is different.

Is that new SL262 and is it considered a wakeboarding boat or a deck boat?

My el cheapo FW dealer skipped our boat show, so I haven't seen one of these in person yet. But the photos are terrific! In my view this design puts FW in the top bowrider rank ...

The way to sell new, upscale models is to fill the custonmer's expectations.

Seen one at the minneapolis boat show, we were really impressed.
The one here did not have a tower, did this one?

I think that most will say that Four Winns stepped up with this.

Man, those are great photos. I look forward to seeing one in person. And agree, that is one upscale cockpit.

That is a beautiful boat...I can't post a pic from their website but here is a link to the SL242 photo page.

http://www.fourwinns.com/model/SL242/photos_video

To me at first glance the exterior side view and color scheme evokes Chris Craft/Cobalt with their own twist...very nice.

I'd say the boat got pimped out at the bath and kitchen show.
But, I've never skied behind a boat with a SINK in it.

Fair shot Skibrain. It is kinda funny how bowriders, deckboats, and wakeboard boats are all blurring together now ...

Pricy boat, I equipped it like a Supra 24SSV I was looking at recently and it was about $25k higher! Retail as equipped $88k. It may ride better in the rough, but I can do a lot with $25k.

That's one good looking boat. I wonder how the resale value will be in a few years.
