Featured Boat 45' Four Winns V458 IPS 2008 Can$ 479,000 The Four Winns V458 hull has a fine entry and deadrise at critical hull stations which enable her to deliver a soft ride in rough water. That’s what the deep-V and Ray Hunt designs are all about. (FYI—Ray Hunt designed the bottom of the Bertram 31 which was first produced in 1961 and started the deep-V trend in offshore powerboats.) But there is a lot more to the new 458 than a deep-V bottom, the interior is a giant step forward for Four Winns in terms of opulence, large-yacht features and technology. This offered model is powered by upgraded IPS 600 Volvo’s with the popular IPS pod drives. The 458 delivers some 25% better economy than similar-sized yachts with conventional inboards, and fingertip control with the Volvo IPS joystick makes handling this boat dockside a pleasure for the whole family. She will cruise efficiently at 25 knots and tops in the low 30’s. Helm station visibility is very good with a big expanse of windshield glass forward and minimal interference from the sculpted hardtop supports and mullions. Topside highlights include a stylish hardtop with TRIPLE skylights, & a wide-open cockpit layout with seating for ten. Full-height bow railings lead all the way forward along wide, flat side decks, adding a good measure of topside safety. The huge extended power swim platform lowers to serve as a tender dock or diving staging area, while two sets of stern cleats add mooring options. Her well finished cherry interior boasts two private staterooms, two heads, & a big home-size galley. Large side ports and overhead hatches flood the interior with natural light. Some notable features are the cockpit railing and deckhouse railing back aft, the transom trunk, the extended visor over the cockpit, enclosable cockpit area, storage bins under the deck port/stbd aft, long pantograph windshield wiper, teak aft, etc…. All of which are quality up-grades and a good, thoughtful design.
