Hard to tell aarrjimlad.

Any pictures for us to see?

Sorry for that, but I think something went wrong in your post. I don't see anything in the way of photos to look at.

Re: Is this a Winner?

Sorry John,

I am not an expert on “Winner” boats, but I'll look have a look if around the net if you'll post some more pictures.

If you are having a hard time with them, post the link like you did before, and I will load them into the thread.

At the very least we are keeping the post on the recent list, and maybe, just maybe, someone will come along that will recognize it.

Cheers,
ST

Re: Is this a Winner?

Oh yea, it would also help if you would post detail shots of any tags, stickers, or information plates on the boat. Dash, transom, interior layout, or anything else that could distinguish your boat from the millions of others in the world are also needed. Year, length, weight & motor capacity, etc. and any other details you have from the registration can also help narrow the search a bit.

Finding the manufacture of a unknown boat can be like finding a needle in a haystack, not impossible, but without anything more than two pictures, difficult.

Thanks ST

Will investigate over the weekend.

Re: Is this a Winner?

I don't think that's a Winner, it's too good looking! Winners were kind of clunky looking boats, and usually had a trademark straight up flat style windshield, not a nice wraparound like yours. Well, that's my inexpert opinion.

Thanks MikDee

Re: Is this a Winner?

She's a beauty! I'm guessing, but with those sleek lines, & racy windshield, it appears to be an old performance style boat, it almost looks like an old "Checkmate"

Re: Is this a Winner?

[aarrjimlad]

Re: Is this a Winner?

Sorry, unsure of year.

Hi John

I pulled these pictures of your boat off your Blog, perhaps they will help in the identification.

You might also want to ask the Moderator to move this thread to the "General Boating/Outdoors Activities" section, "Boat Topics and Questions (not engine topics)" thread: http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11

It will probably receive more attention there.

Cheers

Re: Is this a Winner?

Looks alot like my boat, hull and deck anyway. I would say yes. You can see my boat on Fiberglassics.com. I am John D.

Re: Is this a Winner?

Many thanks for that, yes it is a much modified Winner Cobra, I googled it and there are pic's and videos to confirm your opinion. The curved screen is, presumably from another boat.
That's my mystery solved.
Kind Regards

Re: Is this a Winner?

Well, Winners are Good Boats, and you got yourself a sleek looking one!

Re: Is this a Winner?

Here is a 80MPH Winner I found on the web. Not an exact duplicate of yours, but it is a good looking, sleek boat.
