My kid has a 23 year old dynatrak that's been great since he replaced
the floors.

And he's got a buddy with a Winner about the same age. The boat is very
sound, but rodents chewed up the wiring to the front panel as well as
the front livewell drain hose, and they are talking about popping the
cap to repair it properly, Will be interesting to see how good the
condition is under the floor..

Nice to see people taking care of these old boats.

Interesting to see how the fiberglass stringer system held up in that
Winner.
Can't get to the wiring on the front panel by popping up some of the
floor instead?

Oooh that front livewell hose.... My parents winner Fish N Ski had
that pop off and it was a real treat to get at..
That hose popping off and the battery shelf were the only things that
ever had a problem on their Winner.

The battery shelf may have been aftermarket from the Marina when
adding trolling motor package.

The Winner's had a wood transum but fiberglass stringers...

Many of the other manufacturers didn't get the wood out of their
stringers until the 90's I think Ranger had a no wul transom in the
80's though.. Funny how winner tackled the stringers first when
everyone else appeared to go after the transom.
