The HD5 is prepared to power through the water or anchor at your favorite spot. Headlined by ample space for up to 13 people, the fully enclosed head compartment, and a luxurious interior, this boat was bred for a good time, all the time.

Take the summer into your own hands with the HD5 RS. The new RS color schemes and graphics give this boat the sporty, edgy look you’re after while maintaining the highest level of comfort and satisfaction you’ve come to expect from Four Winns. Remarkable features include spacious swim platforms, dual swim ladders, stern lounge seating, and a standard custom trailer. Available with the power of choice, a sterndrive or outboard.
