TOPIC: 1966 Winner Boat

I have recently aquired a 1966 Winner in/outboard 14'6" boat. I have no idea what model it is? Does anyone have info on this boat and what it may be valued? Any help or direction to sources would be appreciated.

Welcome aboard. I have a 59 Scorpion. It should be found here in our library. www.fiberglassics.com/library/Winner

I have seen the literature and read everything in the Library. Unfortunately the model info specs do not cover the 1966.

Anyone have any info on this boat? What is it worth? I love the way it looks and would really like to restore it but if it not of any value, maybe I will think twice?

What you will find is that very few of the old fiberglass boats are valuable. But you will also find that they have a certain look and charm to them that draws you to them.

I know restoring or just cleaning an old boat isn't fun or cheap. But the first time you take it to the water and see how everyone gathers around to see it, and start telling you how they had one just like it years ago, and wished they would have kept it. Well that's far more valuable and rewarding to me than a dollar.

If the lines are right and you love the look, don't hesitate to go for it.

I appreciate your perspective and I think I will go for it. I still want to learn more about it.

My biggest obstacle right now is that the boat is in Michigan and I am in Arizona. All the shipping quotes are 3k and above. Any suggestions?

3K is kind of a high price to pay. You may want to look over Craig's List, or just start looking around in the alley ways, you may find that you can pick up a local one for a lot cheaper.

This is true. The Winner I now have was a freebie with trailer. No it is not valuable at a selling point but I do not plan to sell it. I have a 58 MFG I'm using now. If I go to sell it after the Winner is ready it will only go for what the outboard is worth plus a little more around here.
