Apparently all the new models will be at the Ft. Laud boat show this weekend. Four Winns won't cough up any tickets for me, but might go anyways.

The Four Winns booth at the Ft Lauderdale / Bahia Mar boat show will be in slips 831 to 835. I hope that doesn't mean there are only 5 boats. Hopefully these are large slips with multiple boats in each slip.

They're pretty big as they're made for yachts, you can stuff quite a few 18-25ft boats per slip. I just confirmed with the GF, we're going.

Ok ric, your mission is to get as many pics as possible, and info. I'm personally interested in whats new for the SD line, bigger, better, is that sink/urinal for real? :mrgreen:

I don't really like the overall cockpit design,dash looks cheap,the roll up cabin door looks like it will be an issue after a few years, and gives look like a self-storage locker.
the side profile is sharp, swim platform nice as well,.... Side portholes in cuddy would be nice. I saw one at my local FW dealer and the cabin had 2 skylights but they didnt open. dont remember if there was a round hatch that opened. It looked very cheesy... the prior designed sundowner was way better in cockpit/cabin styling.

Yup. I just don't like it. In terms of usefulness as a cuddy cabin for weekends on the hook, it's useless.

Heard it was seen on Lake Cadillac recently. The new 2013 S235 Sundowner cuddy. Of course there will be an SS model as well.
The S235 will be at the Paris Show in December, and maybe at Ft. Lauderdale show next month ??

It will be the same styling as the S215, and all the new "slab sided" 2013 Four Winns models. It will be interesting to see how it does in Paris, as cuddy cabin boats are quite popular overseas. Remember, the S215 was the European powerboat of the year in 2012.

I will be at the boat show in Ft Lauderdale for sure I never miss the fun! If you need some pictures of some specific models let me know I am more than happy to help out.

The police station called, they want their jail cell toilet back. You have no idea how right you are! that was my first thought, a designer was locked up and installed those in the boat as a joke to everyone buying this boat. It's hilarious! Or GSAAuctions.gov had a lot available on the cheap

Seems like this is the model list that will be on display at the show from Four Winns. Friday is the Fireworks show so I think that would be the best day to attend. If you're going to attend give this a once over so you can know where the boats you are interested in are located.

S235 walkthru with Frenchy

ric · **Posted:** Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:34 am

24ft cuddy. No windows. Smaller cuddy then my 19ft stingray. No toilet.

What piece of trash.

It was under the center pad in cuddy (Frenchy showed us in the vid you posted). Actually, that was one thing I liked on this SD, was location of toilet. However, not crazy about the 2 dash pads/instrument panel, the cockpit sink (jail urinal), roll up cuddy door, and the shortness of the cuddy overall. My 96' 205 has a much bigger cuddy it seems.

I think if they brought back the U-Shaped seating, the cockpit area would be immense on this boat, but the trend seems to be huge sunpads on the rear of boats...

I hate that wasted space too, I'd much rather have interior space
