Does anyone own one of these?

How is it still holding up?

I love the layout of this Fish N Ski.. I know winner is out of
business.

The hull is fiberglass.. Does the Transom have wood and is it rotting?


The only wood in a late model winner was the deck. I ran one for
sseveral years in the late eighties -- not a fish-nski, just a single
console bass boat -- and it was a great boat. The company folded because
of management issues, not the quality of the boats.


I notice that Sprint Boats had the same Hull. Was Winner just Rebadged
for awhile?

Also..

Am I nutts for wanting an old boat froma defunct company?

I figure anything that could go wrong with the boat would be....

Hardware... Plumbing.. Electrical. Electronic.. Cables.. Engine..
This can all be aftermarket..

So the Deck has wood? Do you think on the Fish N Ski just the two
decks had wood and then the floor was fiberglass?

What was the transom made of on these late model?

Did Winner's Designer go anywhere after Winner? Maybe I would like his
new styles if they exist.

One last crazy question..

I am not a big time fisherman. I would do more joy riding, tubing,
whater then using it as a bass boat.. Am I nutts for wanting a Fish N
Ski?


Thanks Rich!!
