Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 vs Four Winns H180 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 vs Four Winns H180 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 244 Funship 2007 measures 25,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H180 2009 at 17,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns H180 2009 tips the scales at 224 lbs — 177 lbs less than the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 at 47 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 H180 2009 tops out at 190 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 carries 65 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Four Winns H180 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 7 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: The Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 at 25,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns H180 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.
