Baretta 191 Cuddy Cabin resto about to begin

[Rogan]

Hello, all. I'm new here to the forum. I just picked up a MH Baretta 191 with a 140hp Volvo 275 outboard. The interior portion is in need of a full resto. I'm sure the floors, stringer, etc. are all in need of repair. I picked it up for $100 with a galvanized trailer. Worse comes to worst, I'll scrap the boat and get my money back with the trailer. :grumpy:

How long is that boat ?

Is it a 4 cylinder ??

What year model ??


We just bought an 88 model / 18 footer, with a 4 cylinder, and like most all Baretta owners, I lack info. I am going out to the boats location this evening. In order to get some helpful numbers off the boat / engine and so on...........any ideas where to look for proper engine and boat numbers ??

Ty much

p.s. I will try to get some pictures posted up soon

I would love to own a cuddy, and I figure with my budget that when I do get around to owning one, it will be a restoration from the get go like yours. I will be watching and waiting for the pictures and progress. Good luck, and you are in the right place for help when you need it. But I do have to grin,, since like my Bayliner, there is no such thing as a cheap or free boat.:laugh:

I totally agree on no cheap boat..
I've been a little out-of-touch with this project, as Easter morning, I suffered a mini-stroke (five days before my 45th birthday.)

I've not been able to do much, and medical bills have swamped my bank account.


soon, though, I'll dive in to this project.

Sorry about the health issues, hope all is getting better.

Worse comes to worst, I'll scrap the boat and get my money back with the trailer. :grumpy:

I hope it never comes to this and if it does PM me.
This is a beautiful boat and I hope that you will be able to bring her back and get her looking pretty and SAFE.
