Matching a modified vee Four Winns SL242 2008 against a deep vee Four Winns V375 2013 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 V375 2013 measures 37,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 13,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns SL242 2008 at 24,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V375 2013 tips the scales at 1 675 lbs — 1 167 lbs less than the Four Winns SL242 2008 at 508 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 SL242 2008 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp. Engine data for the Four Winns V375 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns SL242 2008 carries 58 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Four Winns V375 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 12 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.
