I bought my first boat.It is a 1979 rinker ?????????? 17' open bow with a 140 mercruiser inline sisx .I dont have a title on it but for a beginner did not want anything too nice or new and trying to find out where to buy the canvas top and ladder .I have half of the fabric. Thanks in advance.

After doing some looking on nada...
As far as I can tell, If it has a 7' 2'' beam its a "Raider". If it has a 6' 9" beam its a "Ramero"

Keep in mind I'm no expert
