Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 vs Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 vs Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 at 25,0 ft versus Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 tips the scales at 4 170 lbs — 4 123 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 vs Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 or the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021?
The Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 is the longer of the two at 25,0 feet overall. The Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 3,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 or the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021?
For trailering, the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 has the edge at 47 lbs dry weight versus 4 170 lbs for the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 and Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 or the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021?
The Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 has the bigger tank at 65 gallons, versus 44 gallons on the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021. That 21-gallon difference translates to roughly 63–105 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 and Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Four Winns 244 Funship 2007 and the Four Winns HD3 Surf 2021 are built by Four Winns. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
