Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Four Winns 328 Vista 2006 vs Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns 328 Vista 2006 vs Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 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 328 Vista 2006 measures 35,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 at 26,0 feet (2012). At 125 lbs and 51 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 tops out at 380 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns 328 Vista 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns 328 Vista 2006 carries 22 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Four Winns Horizon 260 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Four Winns 328 Vista 2006 at 35,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 at 26,0 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.
