Four Winns 234 Funship 2005 vs Four Winns V375 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Four Winns 234 Funship 2005 vs Four Winns V375 2011 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 V375 2011 measures 37,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 12,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns 234 Funship 2005 at 25,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns 234 Funship 2005 tips the scales at 474 lbs — 309 lbs more than the Four Winns V375 2011 at 165 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 V375 2011 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 234 Funship 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns 234 Funship 2005 carries 65 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Four Winns V375 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Bottom line: The Four Winns V375 2011 at 37,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns 234 Funship 2005 at 25,0 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.
