The Four Winns SL242 2013 is a deep-V design and the Four Winns V375 2010 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 2010 measures 37,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 12,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Four Winns SL242 2013 at 24,4 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Four Winns V375 2010 tips the scales at 16 500 lbs - 11 420 lbs less than the Four Winns SL242 2013 at 5 080 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 V375 2010 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Four Winns SL242 2013 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Four Winns V375 2010 carries 230 gallons versus 58 gallons in the Four Winns SL242 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.
