The V435 marks a new beginning for cruisers around the world. Making its debut in early 2009, the V435 sets itself apart from other cruisers on many levels, forever defining it as a new generation of express cruisers. Starting with its sleek profile, Four Winns has allowed its revered cruiser body style to evolve into a 43-footer with plenty of cockpit headroom without a top-heavy appearance. The forwardthinking designers of the V435 created a cruiser with a remarkably roomy interior.
From first step aboard the V435 swim platform, it is clear that water lovers have plenty of room to spread out. An optional hydraulic lift and chocks transition inflatables and PWCs in and out of the water easily and safely. An angled deep-reach hidden ladder with wide step pads is included for the swimmer’s comfort. Four Winns adds a unique touch to the swim platform with a storage tub large enough to store fenders; and when not in use for storage, the tub’s clear glass bottom is a fun way to see what’s below without diving in. Showcase patriotic spirit with the new flag pole and holder option. Swimmers can enjoy optional Flexiteek flooring for minimal slipping, or genuine teak wood flooring for an extra special touch. And, there’s a hot/cold shower for rinsing away sand and debris. The optional underwater lighting creates a beautiful atmosphere with large light fixtures mounted below the swim platform, filling the surrounding water with a luminous glow.
The cockpit is well suited for relaxation and entertainment. Below the standard hard top with multi-colored recessed lights, the cockpit is home to a generous U-shaped stern seat (with fill-in cushions) and removable cocktail table. Hors d’oeuvres and cold beverages are in demand, so Four Winns equipped the V435 with gourmet drawer-style stainless steel refrigerator and icemaker, blender, sink with faucet and beautiful solid-surface counter tops. An optional flat screen television mounted above the refreshment area in the cockpit is perfect for keeping abreast of the latest news and best in entertainment. Blue courtesy lighting enhances the atmosphere and guides the way.
The coupe-style fiberglass hardtop provides ample shelter, coupled with an amazingly large sunroof with electronic adjustment. The expansive sunroof, combined with wide windshield walk-thru steps, allows passage to the foredeck with ease and plenty of headroom. The retractable sunroof is also available in glass for a great sky view even when it is in the closed position.
Though the V435 styling is new, many of the classic Four Winns standards carry over to the V435, including Volvo’s revolutionary Inboard Performance System (IPS) and joystick control, making handling and docking easy and worry-proof. The captain is comfortable and in-control in the step-down helm, surrounded by the sophisticated helm and double width seat with driver-side power adjustment and flip-up bolsters.
The salon features a sofa that converts to a berth, and two side-by-side blond wood dining tables that can be adjusted to serve just the right number of guests. Large storage compartments are nestled behind polished wood doors above the sofa, and a built-in bar with a bottle and stemware cabinet allows boaters to showcase a favorite vintage and prized crystal. The sueded sidewall fabric is both sophisticated and cozy, running throughout the cabin. High quality carpet is standard, with hardwood flooring an option. The salon will be an entertainment hot spot with its flat screen television and Bose surround sound. iPod/MP3 ports at the cockpit and cabin make it easy to tune in or charge a cell phone with the 12-volt charger. Plus, climate control is simple with A/C controls located in the salon and the master berth.
The graceful galley features an L-shaped solid surface counter and stunning polished wood finished cabinetry and storage compartments with smoked-glass garage-style doors for a clean, contemporary feel. Optional solid wood cabinetry is available.
The private forward stateroom is separated from the salon by a sliding pocket door that opens to a spacious and light-filled oasis. The island berth with an electronically adjustable innerspring mattress raises and lowers at the head for comfortable reading or movie-watching on the flat screen TV with DVD player. The berth is complete with roman shade window coverings, underberth storage and a cedar-lined hanging locker. Overhead, Four Winns redefines the deck hatch by creating a cluster of windows to form an atrium, with the center hatch with screen opening as needed for ventilation.
The head is accessible from the forward stateroom and salon, and is complete with a raised bowl sink situated on solid surface countertop. The spacious design and function are added luxuries, with a porcelain VacuFlush head, and separated hot water shower.
Dining space is very roomy in the standard aft cabin, with generous L-shaped sectional seating. A hanging locker is also located in aft cabin for extra storage space. An optional aft bulkhead with frosted glass sliding pocket doors for privacy can be added to create an aft stateroom with L-shaped sofa that converts to a berth, a head with separate shower, and a flat screen television. An additional option can be added to include a double bed to the stateroom in lieu of the sofa. For long trips laundry is necessary, so Four Winns offers the optional washer/dryer in the aft cabin area.
A color-matched canvas camper system, fabricated from top-quality, high performance Sunbrella fabric, is included as standard equipment, and converts the deck to a fully sheltered entertainment area for those breezy evenings on the water. The canvas system has been enhanced for 2009 with color-coded zippers that correspond to port (red) and starboard (green) for timesavings. And, a top frame mounting pin makes managing the bimini top even easier. The V435 is available with Volvo Penta gasoline power in Twin IPSG 550 400 hp; Twin IPS 500 370 hp with Joystick Control; or Twin IPS 600 435 hp.
