Hello everybody,
I just found this forum when I tried to identify my "new" boat.
But let me say some words about me first. My name is Sebastian, I am 34 years old and come from the north of Germany (so please do not be too critical about my English). Last week I bought a nice motorboat but I don't know who was the manufacturer, I even can't find anything about it in the documents (there it says: manufacturer unknown). So I registered in a German boat forum an someone told me it might be a Winner boat and some other guy posted that your site might help! And so: here I am!
But I just don't want to write about the boat, I will also show it to you. Some of the pictures were taken before I started to restore it this weekend and some while I was taking everything out that was rotten. You won't believe it but one of the former owners filled the hollow spaces of the bottom with installation / construction foam and then put a wooden floor over it. Everything got wet and became turf... They also seemed to have stiffen the transom with a cutting board. When filling the hollow spaces they also blocked the drain valve and the wooden panel inside the transom turned into turf as well. So I had to open the transom and will have to rebuild it.
In the Thread "Lets have a look at your boats" I saw a boat of the member "Edward C" that really looks like mine. And in another thread I found a Winner Piranha that also looks like my boat. Do you think that it could be one? It is about 13 to 14 feet long. In the transom is a small embossing that says PA/35 . I still wonder how the boat could find it's way to Germany if it really is a Winner...
