Someone should inform him his rendition is not completely accurate.

I'll go first, those are not Faria gauges.

The proportions are wrong in every dimension. Wrong width, wrong deadrise, too little space in the bow & too much in the cockpit...

A nice effort though.

Almost looks like a center console fishing boat with FW graphics.

Would it look better painted flat black?

With the removable cuddy?

The bow area also looks too small. One more thing...It's WOOD!

I have to give him credit though, he did a pretty good job for handcrafting a model.

I don't think you can get that wet bar/entertainment center unless thats a Horizon 310

I am not sure I agree. If this person is that good he should make it look a lot more like an actual Four Winns. This almost looks like a ski boat hull he built in the past and just used it and slapped some Four Winn graphics and such on it.

Give the guy a break! I have the utmost respect for any true craftsman. I like to build things too but the finishing department is not my specialty. Anything I build takes forever to get "perfect" and half the time ends up getting finished in a mad rush with less than desirable results (I have totally given up on drywall joints and have a taper on speed dial!!!)The guy has obviously taken another model and transformed it into this rendition and has done a tremendous job at the perception that it is a Four Winns.

I ask myself why he did this and i have to believe that he has a love for the brand/boat and wanted to commemorate it with this model. I applaud him for his attempt and if it was a match to my boat I might consider making him an offer so I could have it to gaze upon in the off season. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect. By the way, i believe he may have been trying to copy the H310 seating layout and I really don't like that wake board tower thingy he has above the windshield.
