What year? On the Four Winns website if you click on customer service you can find old brochures and "Fast Facts" that will give you boat and trailer weight. |

Got it thanks. It's 400 pounds overweight. |

Don't forget to count yourself, passages and any cargo in your vehicle. |

One of the reasons we bought a 230/240 instead of a 214/224 was that we could get a bit more length with the same tow limitations. Funships are heavy. |

I have a Honda Pilot and it does well with the Horizon. I might be at the limit or beyond if I go with a 224. I think a 214 would work. |

If memory serves, I'm pretty sure that the 214 and the 224 are actually the same boat - I believe they started including the length of the swim step and renamed it to a 224.... You can check the specs to verify... |

I guess it's too much weight. Had my heart set on it for next year. |

Looks like the funship 204 would be able to tow well with the Honda pilot. I'll look into this model. |

I just now located the tow ratings sticker on my honda pilot. It was on the drivers side below a panel. The max tow is 5825 lbs. It's 800lbs more than I thought. The Honda is a 2016 AWD. I think I have some wiggle room for a 214. |
