Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 vs Four Winns V285 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 vs Four Winns V285 2010 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 V285 2010 measures 28,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 7,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 at 21,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V285 2010 tips the scales at 736 lbs — 355 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 V285 2010 tops out at 3 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 V285 2010 carries 85 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 V285 2010 at 28,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns 204 Funship 2006 at 21,0 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.
