Matching a deep vee Four Winns S265RS 2013 against a modified vee Four Winns V318 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 V318 2009 measures 33,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns S265RS 2013 at 26,0 feet (2013). At 54 lbs and 121 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The Four Winns V318 2009 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns S265RS 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns V318 2009 carries 17 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Four Winns S265RS 2013. 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.
