The Four Winns V355 2012 measures 138" wide, compared to 102" for the Four Winns F224 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

The Four Winns F224 2010 has the bigger tank at 5 gallons, versus 2 gallons on the Four Winns V355 2012. That 3-gallon difference translates to roughly 9–15 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Four Winns F224 2010 and Four Winns V355 2012 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Four Winns F224 2010 and the Four Winns V355 2012 are built by Four Winns. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Four Winns F224 2010 vs Four Winns V355 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Four Winns F224 2010 against a deep vee Four Winns V355 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Four Winns V355 2012 measures 35,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 11,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns F224 2010 at 23,7 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V355 2012 tips the scales at 1 385 lbs — 961 lbs less than the Four Winns F224 2010 at 424 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 F224 2010 carries a rated maximum of 3 hp. Engine data for the Four Winns V355 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 2 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Four Winns F224 2010 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Four Winns V355 2012 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Four Winns F224 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Four Winns F224 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 23,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Four Winns V355 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
