Four Winns H260 2012 vs Four Winns V355 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Four Winns H260 2012 against a modified vee Four Winns V355 2010 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 2010 measures 35,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H260 2012 at 26,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns H260 2012 tips the scales at 482 lbs — 346 lbs more than the Four Winns V355 2010 at 136 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 V355 2010 tops out at 6 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns H260 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns H260 2012 carries 75 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Four Winns V355 2010. 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 V355 2010 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 H260 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Four Winns H260 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Four Winns V355 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
