Four Winns H230 2013 vs Four Winns V358 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Four Winns H230 2013 against a modified vee Four Winns V358 2008 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 V358 2008 measures 37,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 13,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H230 2013 at 23,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V358 2008 tips the scales at 162 lbs — 118 lbs less than the Four Winns H230 2013 at 44 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 V358 2008 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns H230 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns H230 2013 carries 52 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Four Winns V358 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 11 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 V358 2008 at 37,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Four Winns H230 2013 at 23,3 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.
