Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 vs Four Winns H183 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 vs Four Winns H183 2009 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 measures 21,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H183 2009 at 17,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns H183 2009 tips the scales at 2 575 lbs — 2 194 lbs less than the Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 at 381 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Four Winns H183 2009 tops out at 190 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns H183 2009 carries 24 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Four Winns 204 Funship 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 at 21,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns H183 2009 at 17,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
