Four Winns F204 2008 vs Four Winns H200 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Four Winns F204 2008 against a deep vee Four Winns H200 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Four Winns F204 2008 at 21,0 ft versus Four Winns H200 2012 at 19,7 ft. At 376 lbs and 307 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 F204 2008 carries a rated maximum of 270 hp. Engine data for the Four Winns H200 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns H200 2012 carries 35 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Four Winns F204 2008. 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 F204 2008 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Four Winns H200 2012 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Four Winns F204 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Four Winns F204 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Four Winns H200 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
