So I just got my first boat, and I am thrilled. I have been looking for about a month here in Las Vegas, and didn't have much money so what I saw in my price range was horrible..
But this morning I met the greatest boat restorer, and he had just finished a 1985 Renken Cuddy Cabin. I couldn't believe the shape this boat was in compared to others at this price
(this was the only boat I looked at that he actually fired it up for me) I was thrilled and when I came back with my money he even through in a whole lot of extra stuff to get my on
the water as quick as possible, then tried to give me some of the money back! What a great experience it was to purchase from this wonderful man, and get such a nice boat.
I do have a few questions and hoped to find some answers here;
1. it's a 18'4" 1985 Renken Cuddy Cabin but I can't find that on NADAGuides website (or google for that matter) so I can't find any info on the boat.
2. because I can't really find the model, I can't find a manual or know what to look for for the small things I need to fix (it is a used boat afterall)
3. How can I get any info on the motor and the outdrive? I know the outdrive is a Mercrusier, and the engine says mercruiser 898 on the top (although a plate on it said brunswick?)
Thanks in advance,
Chris
And thank you Don for being an honest boat seller that takes great pride in the quality of his work and his word. You truley are a great man!
Now to get her in the water...
