WINNER clone

Any one have any experience with a WINNER boat it is yet another check clone ?
I found one on iboats that is super clean 80s boat with 175 johnson
its a 19'
was wondering if any of the guys on here know any thing about them , this one is about as close to show room condition as i have ever seen
never heard of a winner before would have bought it allready just a little cautious about a brand i know nothing at all about
 
I've seen quite a few Winner Bass Boats around, but don't know anything about them. There is a bass boat, a cuddy and a flybridge on ebay right now.
 
They were a decent bassboat pretty heavy from what i remember but most are except for the race style (Allisons Bullets and such).

I haven't heard of any Winner models that were a clone of a Checkmate, but it's possible. I've come across a couple decent old Winners in the past. They seemed to run pretty good.
 
I was looking for this Winner last night, and couldn't find any that even looked close to a Checkmate. But I'll keep my eye out for one just in case.
 
gonna have to bust em on this one

still it is a nice looking boat though

I checked that boat out online before I got the Pulse 170. That picture shows a survivor, still good looking. But no way a Checkmate clone. Bottom doesn't have enough lifting strakes and the boat is too narrow to be made from any Checkmate. I see that's our buddy Hondam's place?

had a small winner dealer across the lake from my dealership they were junk, i have worked on them to not impressed. I will give you this that boat looks like it is in good shape and sometimes that does mean a lot, gut it is not a mate.
