The Four Winns is more upscale than the Tahoe. So I would expect quite a bit higher price on the Four Winns. Hurricane, NauticStar, and Starcraft also have nice designs in this size. All of those should be under the Four Winns price.

i like the design of the deck boat. we bought a 1999 Chris Craft 230 w 5.7 volvo penta. great boat, rated for 13 people and could handle more. good ski, tubing, party boat. 100% pleased.

My only comment is that many deck boats have relatively low deadrise (angle of Vee) at the stern. This should not be an issue on smaller lakes and rivers, but if you encounter any truly rough water I would look for at least 18 degrees preferably 20.

Mission Control, we have a problem? :/

Here are some threads on another site that also talk about deckboats. Mouse click on either of these links to jump to that site. May be easier to work than the new software here at iboats -

Hi
I am surprised youweren't asked where you plan to use the boat. 1 person did elude to lakes and rivers.

These boats can be trouble in rough water.
Low open bow can swallow water.

I hope your a lake kinda of guy :love:
