Winner Bass Boats

[big g]

Has anyone had a Winner Bass Boat, if so what model and size?

[Mike Cork]

I've never had one but we have a couple in the area. The guys that run them really like them. They are older models and have been through the ringer, but still going strong.

We fish water where you are continually rolling over and into stumps, so the hull is strong. That's about all I can assure you. They are fast enough to keep up with the pack in their motor class.

My father bought an 85 model second hand in the late 80's. It's still on the water making fishing trips via my Brother N law, who has inherited it.

Winner's were designed and built by a Ranger engineer that left Ranger and started his own company. That's why the 80's rangers and Winner's look so much alike, even down to the stripes on the side. Rangers turn down, winners turn up. They are a very solid (and heavy) boat. If you find one that has been well cared for, and all regular maintenance done on the motor, it would be a great boat.

Ours was/is an 18'. Tournament Pro 18 I think?
