Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007 vs Four Winns H310 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007 vs Four Winns H310 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 H310 2009 measures 31,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007 at 26,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns H310 2009 tips the scales at 8 360 lbs - 3 540 lbs less than the Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007 at 4 820 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 2009 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns H310 2009 carries 130 gallons versus 75 gallons in the Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Four Winns H310 2009 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Four Winns H310 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Four Winns H310 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 14 passengers and at 31,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Four Winns 260 Horizon 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
