Classic Winner Boats

This Classic Winner Wildcat II outboard runabout is a remarkable boat. For those who like the retro design and spirit of these increasingly rare boats, I have included some history of its lineage along with some current examples of other Winner Boat Enthusiasts throughout the world. It has a fiberglass hull, is 17.5 feet long and 86 inches at the beam. This particular boat weighs approximately 1250 pounds.

More About the Motor

This motor has power tilt and trim, electric start, charging system, wiring harness (installed in boat) and controls. Evinrude 70hp outboard motors are popular because they bridge the gap between small and medium size boats. The parts are very easy to find and inexpensive since these are some of the most popular motors around. In the one year that I used this boat, it has been reliable. When I bought the engine it was suggested that I install a Racor fuel filter and check it regularly. He said sometimes the issues that can arise are due to fuel contamination. Gas consumption is low with this outboard. It is very light weight (around 235lbs).
