When you are out on the water and cranking the wheel hard over when youre at wide-open throttle isnt one of our favorite maneuvers in a strange boat, because there is always the chance that youll launch one of your passengers (including yourself) off the front of the boat. Nevertheless, we cranked the wheel hard over several times at close to 50 mph, and the 234 handled a couple of these maneuvers quite well.
Often, a boat will either lug down from the added load of turning through the water or the engine drive will just blow out, spinning widely because the props cant find any water during the maneuver but we didnt experience either of these situations. We grabbed onto the handholds and withstood the forces of the radical turn, which the boat performed satisfactorily as it quickly came back up to its full speed in a matter of seconds.
The platform proved to be very stable and handled our wake and trough as we constantly searched for any rough water that we could find. Backing down with any twin prop is a delightful experience, if youre easily frustrated by the fact that most single-engine runabouts always want to back in a circle never taking you in the direction you want to go. With MerCruisers twin-prop-equipped Bravo III, the boat backed in a straight line every time, making it a breeze to maneuver around the dock or in tight quarters.
A Well-Rounded Design
Probably the best part of the new Funship other than its solid performance is its layout. The 234s comfortable layout has everyone facing each other, providing the perfect environment for carrying on conversations and just enjoying each others company. All of the seating corners are rounded, which doesnt cost you seating capacity, but it sure makes sitting in the corners a lot more comfortable.
The helm station has been modified to provide better visibility for both tall and short drivers. Both bucket seats have full-suspension, flip-up bolsters and a new adjustment system. The dash is accented with an attractive burled wood finish and separate Faria gauges surrounded by gold bezels, which replace the cluster of gauges featured in the previous models.
The portside console has an enclosed head on one side and a well-appointed bow refreshment center on the other. Both are nice features to have on board a deckboat though not necessarily adjacent to each other.
The Sony AM/FM stereo with CD player is actually housed inside the head compartment. Fortunately, the operation of the stereo can be controlled at the helm, with a remote. An optional stereo remote is also available on the transom swim platform, which may sound a bit frivolous but is still far better than the alternative.
The transom lifts up to provide instant access to the engine, batteries and water tank, making routine maintenance less of a hassle. Similarly, inside the storage area on the side of the helm console is a cutout that provides access to the back of the gauges. All of the finishes we saw were well done, whether it was the glasswork in the cockpit or the top-of-the-line vinyls used to finish off the cockpit.
We especially liked the convenient molded-in ice chest holder under the portside aft settee, as well as the starboard side entrance in the bow, which aids in boarding or unloading passengers at the dock. Four Winns also added gas cylinders to the lid of the in-floor ski locker to keep it from slamming shut.
The principal function of a deckboat is to provide a big, wide-open area where you can have fun. Four Winns has fulfilled this objective remarkably well, and the company has executed it with a style and functional elegance that places this deckboat at the top of the list of boats we would use when inviting a dozen of our closest friends for a weekend of boating fun.
