The Horizon 290 by Four Winns looks to redefine the Bow Rider category in 2023 with features and performance that emphasize comfort, quality, and versatility. You know what the dealer pays, thanks to See Dealer Cost, so let's dive in and see what you get for your money.
This boat does not shy away from dimensions - at 30'1" in length and 9' 5" in beam, it promises space and stability. The deadrise of 21 degrees hints at its ability to handle chop, while the draft of 25" (up) to 39" (down) resonates with its capacity to venture into shallower waters.
The boat is effortlessly propelled by a pair of powerful MerCruiser 6.2L 300 Bravo III DTS JPS ECT, ensuring smooth, reliable performance. And with a fuel capacity of 120 gallons, the boat promises extended voyages without needing to refuel frequently. As for weight, the Horizon 290 weighs in at 8,500 lbs, a clear demonstration of its sturdy, durable construction.
On-deck, the features of the Horizon 290 leave little to desire. The layout includes bow lounge seating with armrests, U-shaped cockpit seating, and double-wide helm and port seating with flip-up bolsters. The rich, hand-fitted vinyl upholstery and premium contoured detailing exude luxury and comfort.
Entertainment is well catered for with a stereo accompanied by Bluetooth capabilities, four speakers, and USB ports. Navigational and operational aspects have also been carefully considered with fog-resistant custom gauges, engine system matched gauges, and LED lit switches, but also with a convenient GPS plotter and an emergency engine shut-off system.
The inclusion of a VacuFlush porcelain toilet with sink, light, and fan in the head/changing compartment ensures comfort even on longer journeys. And with standards like the Freshwater system with a 20-gal tank and the Winning Edge Owner Protection Plan, Four Winns shows that it isn’t leaving anything to chance.
Overall, the 2023 Four Winns Horizon 290 is a complete package that not only meets but exceeds the requirements of a typical Bow Rider. It is clear that Four Winns has taken its time to understand the needs of boating enthusiasts and has left no stone unturned in trying to meet, or even surpass, those needs.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
