Four Winns 180 Horizon LE 2005 vs Four Winns H180 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 180 Horizon LE 2005 vs Four Winns H180 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Four Winns 180 Horizon LE 2005 at 18,0 ft versus Four Winns H180 2012 at 17,3 ft. At 28 lbs and 24 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Bottom line: The Four Winns 180 Horizon LE 2005 and Four Winns H180 2012 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
