2006 Four Winns 28' _{(8.53 m)}

For those looking for a big trailerable cruiser - legally trailerable, that is, with no more than 8'6" of beam the Four Winns V278 should just about fill the bill. trailerable express cruisers don't get any bigger than this and they probably never will. Four Winns builds a quality product, and it shows throughout the 278. The cockpit layout makes the best use possible for the boats slender beam with seating for four and a removable snack table that converts into a sun pad. A mini wet bar to port includes a carry-on cooler that fits under the counter. Below decks the accommodations are tastefully appointed if not spacious. A convertible dinette in the bow sleeps two people, while a small aft cabin offers space for two more. The cherry trim is well finsished, and the 278's six foot headroom is adequate for most. Note the transom storage locker. A surprisingly good performer, a single 375 hp Volvo I/O tops out at 30+ knots.
