New for 2013.

Nice U shaped seating in the cockpit
Image

Filler cusion added for a nice large sun pad.
Image

21' LOA, 8'1" Beam, 2200 lbs. w/o motor.
Shown here with 200HP Yamaha outboard.
Image

I would have liked to see a deck hatch for access to the foredeck, but without the hatch, it
makes for a nice flat deck for the admiral to catch rays and attend to anchoring duties. :mrgreen:

I Like it, nice lines and like that it's powered by an outboard. Is there two swim ladders, front and rear? Is that the reason for the humped up railings in the front?

Yes, bow and stern swimladders. Bow also has anchor locker shared with the swim ladder.

Nice! I'm not crazy about the bow rail setup, but otherwise this looks like a nice practical boat for those wanting an enclosed space but who don't need A/C. These new outboard options are great.

Almost certainly it is not a FW.

I'm thinking either Doral, Campion, or a European brand.


Beneteau!!!

Pretty close RR !! It's Jeanneau Cap Camarat 6.5DC S2

I posted it because I think it is a good design for a small cuddy, outboard powered, and since Four Winns has a French VP of engineering,Christophe Lavigne"Frenchy", it shows how much of the european look he is incorporating into new Four Winns boats.

Take a look at the foredeck for instance.
New FW S235
Image
New Jenneau
Image
The long windows on deck are similar on both boats.

Like the seat layout with u seating and dual captain chairs..don't like turd color of interior or bastardized bow railing.....bow ladder is seldom used anyway

They also make a larger model. The 7.5DC Notice hull windows and deck windows.
Image

Some design simalarities, eh ?
Four Winns V275
Image

The 7.5DC is 24'1" LOA with an 8'3" beam. Closer to the FW S235 in size.

Nice....I did see the similarity with the windows, I bet the outboard models will sell well in the Med area and likely well in costal UK as well. See how the deck space/ seating area is used better than on some recent FWs....
Ok here is an idea vis a vis bow rider vs cuddy....
Id love to see an option of a semi-rigid bow cover that can fold up for storage. That could give a now rider more sea worthy-ness when needed.

I like it, except for the bow rail (reminds me of a handicap rail in a bathtub). Good layout in the cockpit and cuddy. And the ahem, accessories on the swimdeck aint too bad either 8)
