1996 Four Winns Unlimited U-17. Very nice condition and water ready...needs nothing. These were built for one year and were designed off the Donzi Classic molds. 24 degree deadrise and a very fast hull. Boat is a lot of fun and only selling because we went to a bigger go fast with cuddy. I'm the 2nd owner and boat has been very well taken care of. Boat cruises nicely at 40 MPH and tops out just over 60 on GPS. Very rare and unique boat that gets compliments every time I'm out.

Sweet looking boat! I have never seen or heard of this model before. Not practical for a family--but man, for a single guy or couple that just like to go fast--looks like fun! Looks like she is in good shape too! Good luck!

They were fast in their time. Now a days almost every bowrider with a decent engine choice does 60.

I'd have to disagree that most bowriders, even nowadays, are running 60+ on gps. There are some but you're going to pay for them. In addition, this boat has a 24 degree deadrise hull which makes it much better in the rough than almost any boat close in size. This is like going 100 in a Porsche versus going 100 in a Buick/bowrider. It's a fun boat.
