Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Four Winns 288 Vista 2005 vs Four Winns H350 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 288 Vista 2005 vs Four Winns H350 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Four Winns H350 2021 measures 35,0 feet overall (2021), giving it roughly 32,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns 288 Vista 2005 at 3,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns H350 2021 tips the scales at 12 800 lbs — 11 762 lbs less than the Four Winns 288 Vista 2005 at 1 038 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 H350 2021 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 288 Vista 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns H350 2021 carries 17 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Four Winns 288 Vista 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 H350 2021 at 35,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns 288 Vista 2005 at 3,0 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.
