Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Four Winns 240 Horizon 2006 vs Four Winns H310 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 240 Horizon 2006 vs Four Winns H310 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 H310 2011 measures 31,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 7,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns 240 Horizon 2006 at 24,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns H310 2011 tips the scales at 836 lbs — 403 lbs less than the Four Winns 240 Horizon 2006 at 433 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 H310 2011 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 240 Horizon 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns 240 Horizon 2006 carries 58 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Four Winns H310 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 H310 2011 at 31,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns 240 Horizon 2006 at 24,0 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.
