18.5' Winner Quest Restoration

[KJM]

I believe the tag says 6 people (weight unreadable on mine) and max H.P. of 175 but I've seen 200 on several others. I have a Johnson 115 on mine and it's ok/ adequate not a spend demon.

Nice boat, great job!

After 20 monthstainless mine is pretty much done. Good luck with yours.

Mine had a through hull transducer installed in there but it's really just a storage area. The bilge pump is further back accessible through the round hatches

Ok thanks for that info I have only had it 10 days and not restoring it to original just repairing it to get it fishing. It has an ‘86 Evinrude 90 hp on it would not surprise me if it was the original
wow 175 hp max that seems like a lot. I’m going for mmm maybe 115. Thanks for the shout out.

Man I lifted that lid and it’s a half inch deep storage lol not sure what it is. But I can stick a 10” screw driver all the way to the hilt in the two holes you can see. Feels like mud?

Yes it's filled with foam but it can easily be removed to make extra storage. I used the blade of a bow saw and just sawed up and down all the way around the perimeter and pulled out the foam in big chunks. It's the same size as the hatch in front of the console.

By the way if you want to friend me on Facebook Messenger go ahead. If you need any other pictures of my restoration or have any questions it's easier for me to answer through messenger.
