Four Winns H260 2013 vs Four Winns V358 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Four Winns H260 2013 against a modified vee Four Winns V358 2009 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 2009 measures 37,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 11,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns H260 2013 at 26,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V358 2009 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 114 lbs less than the Four Winns H260 2013 at 51 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 2009 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns H260 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns V358 2009 carries 23 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Four Winns H260 2013. 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 2013 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Four Winns V358 2009 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Four Winns H260 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Four Winns H260 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Four Winns V358 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
