Four Winns 26: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Four Winds H260 is a 26-foot family bow rider that emphasizes sporty performance combined with practical features. It incorporates a unique hull design called the Stable V-Hull, which is essentially a stepped hull with the step positioned aft near the stern quarters rather than midships. This design features a teardrop cross section, a curved leading edge toward the keel, and a pronounced hook on the reverse chine, all intended to enhance performance, improve turning ability, and reduce horsepower requirements. The extended running surface beyond the transom further aids in quicker planing and lower planing speeds.
Power and Performance
The H260 measures 26 feet 6 inches in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 5 inches and a draft of 35 inches. The test boat weighed approximately 5,935 pounds including fuel and two passengers. Powered by a base Volvo Penta V8 350 engine with a DP outdrive and FH4 prop, the boat achieved a top speed of 51 miles per hour at 5,960 RPM, consuming 28.5 gallons per hour and yielding a full fuel range of 113 miles. At a more economical cruising speed of 27.8 miles per hour and 3,500 RPM, fuel consumption dropped to 8.4 gallons per hour, extending the range to 209 miles. Acceleration was strong, with a time to plane of 2.8 seconds, reaching 20 miles per hour in 5 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 7 seconds. Handling was notably responsive, with excellent tracking and no chine walk or prop ventilation, even during aggressive turns. The hull’s design allowed the boat to ride smoothly over wakes, maintaining a dry cockpit with minimal spray.
Operational Features and Helm
The engine compartment is thoughtfully designed with storage atop the engine to utilize heat for drying and ease of access. The boat accommodates engines between 350 and 380 horsepower from Merc or Volvo Penta, with a clean, light-colored compartment that is easy to maintain. The battery switch is conveniently located inside the compartment. The helm features a stitched brow in a dark color to reduce glare, complemented by a carbon fiber textured panel that is soft to the touch. Controls include a leather-wrapped, tilt-adjustable three-spoke wheel, a digital engine display with selectable readouts, and switches mounted on billet aluminum bases. The digital engine control offers single-button start-stop and cruise assist. Additional conveniences include a footrest doubling as a drink holder with MP3 and 12-volt ports, a standard digital depth gauge, and courtesy lighting. The bow includes an anchor locker with integrated anchor keepers and a pull-up cleat, with optional docking lights enhancing nighttime operation.
Water Sports and Deck Features
The transom is equipped for water sports with a full-beam swim platform extending 29 inches and positioned just 3 inches above the waterline for easy reboarding. The platform features a non-skid surface and a central step that serves as a footrest when seated on the adjacent sun pad. The sun pad itself measures 7 feet 1 inch by 45 inches deep, with a starboard section that lifts to form a chaise lounge and reveal a walkthrough to the cockpit. A fresh water shower is conveniently located in this area. The cockpit includes L-shaped seating with swiveling operator and observer seats that create an open social space, and ample storage beneath all seats. An optional collapsible bimini top with stainless steel hardware provides sun protection. At the bow, two deep contoured seats feature adjustable headrests and flip-up armrests, enhancing comfort for passengers.
Conclusion
The Four Winds H260 impresses with its combination of sporty styling, innovative hull design, and practical family-friendly features. The Stable V-Hull delivers excellent handling, responsive turning, and efficient performance with relatively modest horsepower. The boat’s thoughtful operational details, comfortable interior, and well-equipped water sports amenities make it a versatile choice for both recreational cruising and active boating. Overall, the H260 stands out as a well-executed bow rider that balances performance and comfort effectively.
