    Winner Boat Hull Restore

    Is the hull supposed to be a ballast? I mean Is the space beneath the floor supposed to be airtight between the floor and the hull? (The floor has some cracks in it) There are a couple of stringers that are pretty soft. If put in a parallel stringer and put a 1/8 or 1/4 plywood floor and glass...

    Battery questions - Winner with 80 HP Johnson

    I am a novice boater . I am 16 years old and my dad and I have done about 5 or 6 frame up car restores ( a couple of Bricklins, a couple of Escorts, a 49 Chevy pickup, etc. ) and 20 or so engine overhauls. Dad - and his dad - restored a very old wooden Trojan cabin cruiser in the 60s and 70s...

    Battery questions - Winner with 80 HP Johnson

    I need to understand if the boat is supposed to have a generator or alternator on it to charge the battery. The motor looks as if it might have a space opposite the starter, but there is no alternator or any cabling,

    Johnson Motor on a Winner Hull - need main wiring harness and throttle/shifter control

    I need a Main Wiring Harness from the motor (1976 Johnson 80HP) to the key switch on the dashboard. Also the key switch panel. I also need the full throttle/shifter mechanism and cable from the steering wheel to the motor. Don't care if they are originals. I see a few available on EBay and...

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    Thanks so much! This helped quite a bit. It appears to be stuck in gear. Motor turns some (not 360 degrees), prop doesn't turn at all. Time to purchase a manual. How do I find a trustworthy source - and make sure I am purchasing the correct manual?

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    No doubt! I am concerned....... Many years ago, a friend advised me to "jack up the radiator cap and drive a new car under it" when I was doing a frame up on a Javelin. I may be pulling out the trailer and putting it under a different boat! ;-)

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    Let me know if I post too many pictures. My main concern is this boat hull may be "too far gone". Don't hesitate to let me know if I have purchased a "lost cause". (I once bought a Bricklin car that came to me in boxes). I've only got 200 bucks in it right now. ID plate attached for reference...

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    Thanks for the input! I will get moved to the correct sub-forum. I am finding some rotten wood and broken fiberglass inside the boat. Outside of the hull looks pretty good except for the shoddy paint job. Here's a few pics. Some (including me) would question my sanity on this one...... ;-)

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    Thanks so much! Do you have a preferred source for manuals? I want to be sure I get the correct one. The prop doesn't look bad, but what do I know? ;-) WOT?

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    Thanks so much! It's been awhile since I worked on a 2 cycle. Need to remember how the motor gets oil. Trying to determine which manual to purchase - and from where. We did get the motor turning using penetrating oil and a fogger, but it only turns about 5 degrees either way. Fells like it might...

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    New to the forum and new to boating. I will be asking plenty of questions as I just purchased a 16'Winner with a Johnson 80 HP Sea Horse motor. This is our next father/son project after a couple of Escorts, a couple of frame up Bricklins and others..... Cleared the hull of all the dead tree...
