Need info on an older boat

[LuckyPenny]

I picked up a 24' Winner (no longer in business) model "Beach" it is a 1977 and I can not find any information on the boat. Does anyone out there have one, or had one? <br />I am trying to find out the weight, fuel tank cap. water tank cap. Original engine (right now it has a 5.0L (250HP)<br /><br />Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Re: Need info on an older boat

My copy of the ABOS Marine Blue Book only covers the years from 1985 to 1989 which was apparently the year Winner went out of business. During those years the largest boat they show is a 22' hull in several configurations. Weights range from 2850 to 4700 depending on type.<br /><br />As far as tank capacity goes...if they are sort of rectangular and you can get to them to measure them, use this formula L*W*H in inches divided by 231 will give you the capacity in gallons. There should be an inspection plate over the fuel tank which allows you to view the tank connections and fittings. Should be a plate here showing capacity.<br /><br />Contact info for Winner says they were made by Thompson and gives the following info...this is out of a 1999 book.<br /><br />Thompson Marine Products<br />7335 Martin Rd<br />Saint Charles, MI 48655<br /><br />517-865-8261<br />517-865-6691 fax<br /><br />Good luck........
