What do you think about a 20+ year old winner that has been taken care

worth looking at?
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..


So Close but bad engine... *Wants 1200 for the boat... *I suppose it
all depends on how much it costs to repair the outboard...

As I was leaving Lake Champlain yesterday, I went by a Winner being
trailed in the opposite direction. You don't get that good a look going
by each other like that, but from what I saw, this boat could have
passed for new. Didn't care for the color scheme -- rust main color with
* the three 'flags' on the side in gold poly flake, and a very dark
(maroon maybe?) gunnel cap -- but it looked cherry as far as condition.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah.. I saw that boat relisted!!

I think the guy took off the 120Hp and put on an 88hp or something.

The boat is rated for a 175 so I was skeptical of a 88hp pushing it.
I suppose I should have bought it and then repowered it with a 150
eventually..

Was it the original seller or was it just sold to someone that
repowered it?
