The 2018 Four Winns H290 is a premium large bowrider designed for boaters who want the open-air comfort of a day boat with the size, amenities, and presence of a sport cruiser. At roughly 30 feet in overall length with a 9-foot-5-inch beam and a fiberglass modified-V hull, the H290 offers a substantial platform for entertaining, cruising, watersports, and long days on the water. Its yacht-certified passenger capacity, broad cockpit, and generous bow seating make it well suited for families or groups who want room to move, lounge, and socialize without feeling crowded.
The exterior styling is sleek and upscale, with the Horizon series' refined profile, stainless-steel accents, and a confident stance on the water. The boat's high freeboard and deep cockpit layout give passengers a secure, protected feeling while underway, while the walk-through windshield creates an easy connection between the bow and cockpit areas. The extended aft swim platform adds to the boat's usability at anchor, providing a convenient place for swimming, boarding, watersports preparation, or simply relaxing close to the water.
Inside, the H290 is arranged around comfort and versatility. The oversized bow area is one of the boat's defining features, offering expansive lounge-style seating with plush upholstery, integrated storage, and a layout that encourages passengers to stretch out and enjoy the ride. Moving aft, the cockpit is built for entertaining, with a double-wide helm seat, supportive companion seating, and a spacious articulating L-shaped aft seating arrangement around a removable table. The upholstery is rich and carefully finished, giving the boat a more premium feel than a typical runabout.
The helm is designed to be both attractive and functional, with clear instrumentation, a tilt steering wheel, ergonomic controls, a Garmin GPSmap 741xs and a Gamin 18 phantom radar. Visibility through the stainless-trimmed walk-through windshield is strong, and the seating position is comfortable for extended cruising. Details such as stainless-steel beverage holders, courtesy lighting, USB charging, and well-placed storage compartments contribute to the boat's practical day-to-day usability.
Although the H290 is primarily an open bowrider, it also includes enclosed spaces that make it more versatile for all-day use. A private head compartment provides convenience for guests, while the cabin-style berth area offers a place to change, rest, store gear, or accommodate a short overnight stay. Large side windows bring natural light into these spaces and also give the boat a distinctive exterior appearance. On deck is a convenient wet bar with a sink and refrigerator.
Power comes from a pair of Mercruiser 6.2L engines with Bravo 3 drives, joystick control and a super low 70 freshwater hours. With an approximate dry weight of 8,500 pounds and a fuel capacity of about 120 gallons, the H290 is built for confident cruising rather than minimalism. Four Winns' Stable-Vee hull design is intended to provide a smooth, secure ride, predictable handling, and solid performance in a variety of recreational boating conditions.
For watersports and swimming, the H290 is especially capable. It features the optional wakeboard tower point, aft-facing lounge, transom (and bow) shower, swim ladder, and large swim platform make the stern area highly functional. The seating and sun-pad arrangements allow passengers to transition easily from cruising to relaxing at anchor, while the self-bailing cockpit and durable fiberglass liner support easy cleanup after a full day on the lake or coastal waterway.
On the road, you will feel confident knowing the trailer is a custom-built, heavy-duty tri-axle trailer with 6 disc brakes, a power winch, and a power tongue jack.
Overall, the 2018 Four Winns H290 is best described as an upscale, big-water day boat with the space and amenities of a small cruiser. It is ideal for owners who value premium seating, strong performance, elegant styling, and the flexibility to entertain, cruise, swim, and enjoy watersports from one well-appointed platform. Its combination of bowrider openness, cruiser-inspired conveniences, and high-end Four Winns finish makes it a compelling choice for buyers seeking a refined and spacious recreational boat.

Four Winns H290: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Four Winds H290 is a substantial bow rider measuring 29 feet 6 inches in length overall, with a beam of 9 feet 5 inches and a draft of 36 inches. Weighing approximately 8,700 pounds empty and with an estimated test weight of 9,660 pounds including fuel and two passengers, this boat falls into the heavyweight category. Its design and features emphasize comfort, performance, and fuel economy, making it a noteworthy contender in its class.
Exterior Design and Hull Characteristics
The H290 features a distinctive stepped V-hull design, with the step positioned aft near the quarters rather than midships. The hull geometry includes a teardrop shape with a curved forward edge leading to a reverse chine running forward, and an extended running surface that surpasses the transom and running gear. This configuration contributes to quicker planing times and lower planing speeds, enhancing overall efficiency and ride quality. Aesthetically, the hull is complemented by polished accents such as a chromed highlight near the hull side window and a polished anchor integrated into the stem.
Helm and Onboard Features
The helm station reflects the boat's upscale nature, featuring a leather-wrapped, hand-stitched brow designed to reduce glare. Instrumentation includes analog speed and RPM gauges mounted on a carbon fiber panel beneath clear plastic, alongside trim and fuel level gauges for the sizable 120-gallon fuel tank. Navigation is supported by a Garmin 741GP chartplotter mounted on a sub-panel near the cabin door, while dual Volvo Penta EVC displays provide selectable engine information. Switches are crafted from billet aluminum with illuminated toggles for operational clarity. Ignition switches are strategically placed away from the panel and knee zones to prevent accidental activation. Additional controls include LED-indicated trim tab rockers and digital engine controls offering cruise mode and single-lever operation. A stern drive joystick enhances docking precision. The helm seat is a wide single with a flip-up bolster and molded footrest for comfort.
Engine Compartment and Safety Features
The H290 is available with engine options ranging from 300 to 430 horsepower. The test model was equipped with twin Volvo Penta V8 300 horsepower engines paired with DP outdrives and FH5 propellers. The engine compartment is fully lined, not merely gel-coated, and includes convenient features such as external battery lugs beneath the helm seat for easy connection of inflators or emergency power. Battery switches are accessible near the cockpit walkthrough, and the boat is equipped with an automatic discharge fire extinguisher system with a manual release located in the cockpit, enhancing safety for all aboard.
Performance and Handling
During testing, the H290 achieved a top speed of 51.9 miles per hour at 5100 RPM, demonstrating that its substantial weight does not hinder performance. Fuel consumption at top speed was 44 gallons per hour, providing a range of approximately 127 miles. The most economical cruise was recorded at 3000 RPM and 28.4 miles per hour, with a fuel burn of 15.8 gallons per hour and an extended range of 194 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The boat reached planing speed in 3.4 seconds and maintained plane down to 2000 RPM, validating the efficiency of the hull design. Acceleration to 20 miles per hour occurred in 4.3 seconds, and surpassing 30 miles per hour took 6.4 seconds. Handling is notably comfortable, with the boat leaning only 11 degrees into turns without any abrupt grip or instability. The hull’s weight contributes to a smooth ride over waves, minimizing slamming and spray. Docking was effortless using the well-calibrated stern drive joystick, allowing precise and gentle maneuvering.
Cockpit and Bow Amenities
The bow area features a unique seating arrangement with a port-side cutout accommodating a snack table, which, when combined with cushions, converts into two lounges or a large sun pad measuring 5 feet by 6 feet 10 inches. The cockpit continues the refined upholstery scheme with L-shaped seating and an electrically adjustable rear seat back that can face forward or aft. A wet bar on the starboard side includes a stainless steel sink, ample countertop space for food preparation, and an integrated refrigerator. The transom seating spans 5 feet 10 inches and is complemented by an Osgood surface on the swim platform, ideal for water sports enthusiasts.
Private Accommodations and Head
Forward of the observer seat in the cockpit lies a well-appointed head compartment offering 4 feet 11 inches of headroom, equipped with a sink, lighting, and a privacy curtain. Opposite the head is a spacious overnight sleeping area featuring a privacy curtain, lighting, 3 feet 10 inches of headroom, and a sleeping length of 7 feet 6 inches. This arrangement provides comfortable accommodations for overnight stays, a notable feature for a boat of this size.
Conclusion
The Four Winds H290 demonstrates that a heavier hull need not compromise performance or fuel economy. Its thoughtfully engineered stepped V-hull delivers rapid planing, efficient cruising, and a notably smooth ride. The boat’s extensive amenities, including premium helm features, versatile seating, and comfortable overnight accommodations, position it as a well-rounded option in the 29-foot class. The combination of solid construction, refined design, and strong performance make the H290 a compelling choice for those seeking a comfortable and capable bow rider.
