Four Winns HD: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Four Winds HD240OB Signature Series is an outboard-powered deck boat designed for large group outings, water sports, and entertaining. With a spacious interior freed from the constraints of a stern drive engine, it boasts a rated capacity of 11 people. Four Winds, now under the Beneteau Group, continues to build these boats in Cadillac, Michigan, maintaining its heritage and quality craftsmanship.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The HD240 features an impressive 8 foot 5 inch beam that extends nearly to the bow, creating wide, comfortable seating areas with ample footwell space for passengers facing each other. The wraparound bow seating includes high backrests enabled by the boat’s robust 42-inch freeboard, which also contributes to a deep, secure cockpit. Upholstery is styled with sporty patterns, complemented by integrated cup holders and speakers along the gunnels. Underneath the hinged cushions, there is plentiful storage, including an insulated cooler compartment with overboard drainage. A soft, non-skid C-deck mat covers the forward deck surfaces, enhancing safety for beachboarding and diving. Additional features include grab rails along the cockpit length, recessed cleats for mooring, and a low, sleek windshield with stainless steel headers.
Seating and Storage Configuration
The helm and companion seats, branded as ComfortRide seats, offer high backs, well-padded flip-up bolsters, and sharkskin textured vinyl upholstery designed to keep occupants secure during high-speed maneuvers. Behind these seats, a U-shaped seating arrangement maximizes passenger capacity with bench seats on both port and starboard sides as well as a traditional transom bench. The cockpit provides 49 inches of footroom between the side seats, with storage bins below, including an option for a 72-quart carry-on cooler. Beneath the snap-in carpet lies a long, deep compartment suitable for skis and wakeboards, featuring a hinged lid, rubber padding, and drainage to the bilge. The starboard quarter seat converts into stairs for stern access and conceals additional storage beneath. The outboard engine configuration allows for a wide aft-facing sun seat with armrests and cup holders, which lifts to reveal a large full-beam storage area measuring 91 inches wide and 56 inches deep, capable of stowing tables, beach chairs, inflatable toys, a built-in cooler, and a fish bucket.
Helm and Instrumentation
The helm is equipped with Ferrea fog-resistant gauges that include standard readouts along with a trim gauge, depth sounder with shallow water alarm, and air temperature display. A recessed panel accommodates a chart plotter, and controls for accessories are conveniently located on either side of the steering wheel. A full stereo system with Bluetooth connectivity is standard, enhancing the onboard entertainment experience.
Head Compartment
Located just forward of the companion seat, the head compartment is accessed through a large, lockable door designed for ease of entry. Inside, it features a small sink, a light fixture, an opening port light, and a wood deck floor. The headroom measures 49 inches. A portable toilet is standard, with an option for an electric toilet equipped with a holding tank.
Swim Platform and Water Access
The swim platform extends 90 inches wide around the outboard engine and is covered with Seadeck padding for comfort and safety. It provides two substantial launch points for water sports. To starboard, a custom-made, wide deep-reach swim ladder facilitates easy water entry and exit.
Power and Performance
The HD240 is available with Mercury, Yamaha, or Evernood outboard engines ranging from 200 to 300 horsepower. The test boat was equipped with a Mercury 250 horsepower Verado engine paired with a Mirage Plus 17-inch stainless steel propeller. With a beam of 8 foot 5 inches and a test weight of approximately 5,320 pounds, the boat achieved a top speed of 49.1 miles per hour at 6950 RPM. The most efficient cruising speed was recorded at 30 miles per hour at 4000 RPM, burning 9.5 gallons per hour and providing a range of 153 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration times included 4.9 seconds to plane, 7.3 seconds to 20 miles per hour, and 10.7 seconds to 30 miles per hour.
Distinctive Design Features
Two key design elements distinguish the HD240 from other deck boats. First, its high freeboard of 42 inches above the waterline enhances passenger security and keeps the boat drier, making it suitable for saltwater use. Second, the 20-degree deadrise at the transom contributes to a notably soft ride, uncommon in many deck boats. Additionally, the HD240 comes standard with a tandem axle color-matched trailer and offers a choice of six hull gel colors, features that are unusual for boats in this class.
Conclusion
The Four Winds HD240OB Signature Series presents a well-rounded deck boat solution for groups seeking comfort, ample storage, and solid performance. Its thoughtful design, including high freeboard, spacious seating, and versatile storage, combined with reliable outboard power options, make it a compelling choice for both freshwater and saltwater recreational boating. The inclusion of a trailer and multiple customization options further enhance its appeal for boating enthusiasts.
