Four Winns 378 Vista 2005 vs Four Winns V335 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Four Winns 378 Vista 2005 vs Four Winns V335 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 378 Vista 2005 measures 41,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns V335 2012 at 33,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V335 2012 tips the scales at 1 235 lbs — 1 233 lbs less than the Four Winns 378 Vista 2005 at 2 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.

Bottom line: The Four Winns 378 Vista 2005 at 41,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns V335 2012 at 33,0 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.
