For those not in the know like me, the name for Four Winns boats came from four members of a family with the name of Winn who started building boats in the town of Cadillac Michigan in 1975. 
We here at Power Boating Canada recently took a look at the Four Winns H6, a 26 ft bow-rider that is available in either an inboard/outboard model or with an outboard, and we looked at the outboard model. A 250 hp outboard comes standard the H6, but we would recommend the optional 350 horses if you intend to pull a couple of skiers or for the times when you have a boatload of people on board.
When we looked at the Four Winns 26 ft H6 one of the first things we noticed was the unique versatility of the rear seating with a backrest that is reversible into any position the passengers want, including sitting facing forward or reversing the backrest to sit facing the outboard engine.
If you are a camper or just carry a lot of gear on your boat, Four Winns engineers have utilized the inboard engine space for gear storage – more dry storage than the average boater would ever need unless you carry a lot of camping gear. All this, and there is a ton more storage under two double bench seats amidship.
Opposite the driver’s seat and forward of the companion seat this 26 ft bow-rider also has a built in head with a recessed sink and mirror and that compartment can also be used for a changing room. The bow of this bow-rider will seat 5 adults with even more storage underneath, and there is a lot more to like about this boat, but not room to print it in this short review.
