Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Four Winns 264 Funship 2005 vs Four Winns H183 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 264 Funship 2005 vs Four Winns H183 2008 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 264 Funship 2005 measures 28,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 11,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H183 2008 at 17,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns 264 Funship 2005 tips the scales at 534 lbs — 506 lbs more than the Four Winns H183 2008 at 28 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 H183 2008 tops out at 190 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 264 Funship 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns H183 2008 carries 24 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Four Winns 264 Funship 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Four Winns 264 Funship 2005 at 28,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns H183 2008 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.
