Four Winns 255 Sundowner 2007 vs Four Winns H260 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 255 Sundowner 2007 vs Four Winns H260 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 255 Sundowner 2007 at 26,0 ft versus Four Winns H260 2021 at 26,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns H260 2021 tips the scales at 5 100 lbs — 4 609 lbs less than the Four Winns 255 Sundowner 2007 at 491 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 H260 2021 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 255 Sundowner 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns 255 Sundowner 2007 carries 65 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Four Winns H260 2021. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 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 255 Sundowner 2007 and Four Winns H260 2021 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
