Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Four Winns HD2 Surf 2021 vs Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Four Winns HD2 Surf 2021 vs Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 380 hp, the Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 has a 180-hp advantage over the Four Winns HD2 Surf 2021's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 7 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Four Winns HD2 Surf 2021 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Four Winns Horizon 260 2012 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 HD2 Surf 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
