A stand out.

At a glance, the all-new outboard catamaran stands out from its peers,” says Martin Meyer, product manager for Four Winns.

And one look at this venerated builder’s latest model is plenty of reason to get up close and personal with the new multi-hulled TH36 outboard.
With a stunning exterior design by the famed Italian Garroni Studio and an equally impressive interior, the Four Winns’ Cadillac, Michigan-based shipyard, now a part of Groupe Beneteau, has brought this exciting catamaran to market, one sure to be a head-turner wherever she is found. Adding to her flair is a sophisticated and efficient stepped hull shape courtesy of world-renowned French naval architect and catamaran specialist Marc Lombard and his team.
Access is aft, on the platform formed by the twin, wide-set outboard engines available from Mercury or Yamaha in 300- to 350-hp configurations. Moving forward, a pair of seats and tables mounted on sliders allow boaters to “split” the aft U-shape bench to either side, creating three different layouts that further expand the cockpit area. Amidships is even more seating, with the helm to starboard. Other features here include a galley to port with a sink, cooktop and storage, while the refrigerator is to starboard. A large fiberglass hardtop provides shade, and the sizable bowrider seating area, accessed via a walkway from the helm area, offers a comfortable space to relax. On port and starboard sides, just forward of the helm area, are the entrances to the living accommodations, each with comfortable quarters, ample headroom, and head and shower compartments forward.
“From watersports to cruising, from lake to saltwaters, we want every boater to enjoy the Four Winns refinement and benefit from our new technologies,” adds Nicolas Harvey, Four Winns brand director.
