Four Winns H190RS 2013 vs Four Winns S215 SS 2013: A Close Look at Two Deep-V Boats

Both the Four Winns H190RS 2013 and the Four Winns S215 SS 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Four Winns H190RS 2013 at 19,0 ft versus Four Winns S215 SS 2013 at 21,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns S215 SS 2013 tips the scales at 4 250 lbs - 1 450 lbs less than the Four Winns H190RS 2013 at 2 800 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.

Both boats are rated for 9 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: The Four Winns S215 SS 2013 at 21,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns H190RS 2013 at 19,0 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.

Four Winns H190RS 2013 vs Four Winns S215 SS 2013 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Four Winns H190RS 2013 or the Four Winns S215 SS 2013?
The Four Winns S215 SS 2013 is the longer of the two at 21,3 feet overall. The Four Winns H190RS 2013 comes in at 19,0 feet, making it roughly 2,3 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Four Winns H190RS 2013 or the Four Winns S215 SS 2013?
For trailering, the Four Winns H190RS 2013 has the edge at 2 800 lbs dry weight versus 4 250 lbs for the Four Winns S215 SS 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Four Winns H190RS 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Four Winns S215 SS 2013 is certified for 9. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Four Winns S215 SS 2013 measures 101" wide, compared to 95" for the Four Winns H190RS 2013. 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.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Four Winns H190RS 2013 or the Four Winns S215 SS 2013?
The Four Winns S215 SS 2013 has the bigger tank at 40 gallons, versus 32 gallons on the Four Winns H190RS 2013. That 8-gallon difference translates to roughly 24–40 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Four Winns H190RS 2013 and Four Winns S215 SS 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Four Winns H190RS 2013 and the Four Winns S215 SS 2013 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.
