Wide-beam family bowrider with one of the roomiest bows in the class.
Four Winns carries beam a long way forward, and the H2 is the clearest example. At 21 ft 5 in (6.53 m) with a full 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) beam held well into the bow, the forward lounges are wide enough for two adults side by side rather than the usual single-file arrangement.
The cockpit follows the same logic. A long port lounge, a helm with proper bolster support, and a transom bench that converts to a rear-facing lounge over a wide platform. Storage is generous, including a ski locker in the sole and deep lockers under every lounge.
Volvo Penta V6 stern drive power from 200 hp to 280 hp suits the hull well. The boat is efficient at a 24-26 knot cruise, and the larger engine option gives strong hole-shot for wakeboarding with ballast aboard.
The H2 also offers watersports credibility beyond the average family boat. Optional ballast, a proper tower and speed control turn it into a competent wake boat, without losing the bow seating that makes it a cruiser on other days.
Used examples reward inspection of the transom assembly and the upholstery, which in earlier boats can craze if left uncovered in strong sun. Mechanically the Volvo V6 packages are well understood and parts availability is good worldwide.
