It's on the water- S235

Cap'n Morgan · **Posted:** Thu Sep 13, 2012 2:33 pm

No pics released to the general public yet. :wink:

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.

Interesting; I really don't know what to eventualy replace my 2004 245 Sundowner with. How does the new 215 compare to the old 215 ( = renamed 205) in terms of hull length/ seakeeping? Comparing on the same basis, is the new 235 like and old 225 n terms of hull length ( that had they kept it going, would have been named a 235 ?), or is it bigger? And of course the question in my mind ( even though I was taught never to start a sentence with "and"!), will there be a 245/ 255 or even a 265 ? With a marinised 350hp / huge torque all aluminium low weight V8 diesel based on the current Range Rover engines ?

Nice, I'd like to see pix when they are available...
For now the boat that got my attention was that 20' Glastron with the outboard power, I like the fact that it updates the classic Glastron look...

Anybody have any pics of her yet?

I hope they fix the one real gripe I have on the S215... the lack of a proper hatch in the cuddy. I think that is a real safety concern, the lack of a second egress point. That would be a show stopper for me.

Pics will show up on My Face or Spacebook soon I suspect. I don't mess with those sites, so someone else will have to post them up when they find them. Brochure pics have been taken, just have to wait until they are leaked into social media. Of course there will be an SS version as well.

Found these at http://www.belgianboatservice.com/nl/nieuw/motorboten/four-winns

Looks like the additional room is in the cockpit(can't see whats changed in the cuddy tho), and a sink option behind the captains seat too....not bad, wish there was more pics out there

So a cuddy, but no head?

Am I the only one who thought the sink looked like a toilet at first glance? Besides that, I kind of like the boat....

Winter Sux · **Posted:** Sun Oct 21, 2012 6:17 pm

I agree 100 %. nice boat but the sink does look like a head.

acguy · **Posted:** Sun Oct 21, 2012 6:28 pm

That's a sharp looking boat! Agree with the above statements about the sink, i think if i were drunk i may try too pee in it :mrgreen:

I'm a huge cuddy cabin fan, but I'll be the first to say I honestly hate it and I'll explain why:

1. No window from cabin to cockpit
2. No apparent side cabin windows. Hello. It's a boat you might want to look outside.
3. The police station called, they want their jail cell toilet back.
4. What is it? A sport boat or a cuddy cabin? It's got the seat layout of a "go fast" boat, but the hull of a luxury boat that doesn't "go fast". As far as cuddy cabins go that you might spend a weekend out on, this boat is horrible. My 19ft stingray cuddy is better suited for overnighting. And faster. And better MPG and holds the same amount of people. Four Winns has made some AMAZING cuddy cabins in the past, and this isn't one of them.

LMAO! Good one.... I don't like the convienance store-in-the-hood metal roll up door for the cuddy either. Hopefully once this thing hits the showrooms, they will have options for the things that made the SD a great boat.

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.
