The Four Winns H220 2011 is a modified-V design and the Four Winns V275 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 V275 2012 measures 28,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H220 2011 at 22,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V275 2012 tips the scales at 7 800 lbs - 4 100 lbs less than the Four Winns H220 2011 at 3 700 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 H220 2011 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Four Winns V275 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 V275 2012 carries 85 gallons versus 50 gallons in the Four Winns H220 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 10 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.
