Broker's Comments

Four Winns Boats are well known for their Bowrider style of sports powerboats. The Four Winns 248 is cleverly designed to maximise the usable space without compromising her sleek profile.

This is a rare boat being diesel-powered by an economical 260 hp Volvo Penta engine giving a maximum speed of 35 knots. Most of the examples imported to the UK were petrol-engined versions She has been very well maintained and improved by her current owner including a replacement z drive in 2023

On deck, she has a good sized aft cockpit area with several configurations for seating or sunbathing. The helm position gives good visibility and the foredeck is accessed 'bowrider style' by folding back the windscreen section and stepping through. There is plenty of deck space forward and an electric windlass takes the hard work out of anchoring.

Below is surprisingly spacious: an aft cabin with a good sized double berth with light and ventilation. The saloon converts from seating to sleeping easily if required. She has a compact galley with a microwave, stoves, sink, and ample storage. The heads opposite are practical with an electric shower attachment to supplement the cockpit shower on the transom.

This boat is quick and powerful enough for water sports yet well equipped for longer cruises and overnighting in comfort.
