Matching a modified vee Four Winns H200SS 2009 against a deep vee Four Winns H260 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 H260 2012 measures 26,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H200SS 2009 at 19,0 feet (2009).

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 H200SS 2009 carries a rated maximum of 300 hp. Engine data for the Four Winns H260 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 H260 2012 carries 75 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Four Winns H200SS 2009. 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 H260 2012 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Four Winns H200SS 2009 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 H260 2012 could be the deciding factor.
