2018 Four Winns H230 RS

Key to the fun of the H230 RS and to all Four Winns models is the company’s proprietary Stable Vee hull. The hull holds utility and design patents, and essentially, it has three basic elements. The aft section of the boat is as wide as possible as far forward as possible, as is the deadrise angle, to enhance lateral stability. And for cornering and coming on plane, after pods provide “grip” in turns. A Stable Vee hull will turn as sharply and crisply as your nerve and your passengers will allow, which is handy if you ever have to make evasive emergency maneuvers.

Hull dynamics aside, the H230RS offers families a great platform for getting out on the water. The boat is most often shown with the towing tower, which is an option. If you have kids they’re going to want to go wakeboarding, and they’re going to insist you check that box. They’ll probably ask for the premium sound system and tower speakers, too. The tower couldn’t be simpler to operate. Just remove two pins to fold it down to rest within the width of the wraparound windshield.
