Well I made, probably an unwise, purchase. I picked up a 1987 Reinell cuddy cabin (title says 19 ft), in the dead of winter in the midwest. It was winterized, so I didnt attempt to start it, but did a compression test on the 350. The interior is clean, it came with nice bimini and cover, and the trailer is pretty nice as well. What I cannot seem to find is any sort of owners manual for this specific boat or any means of telling if I got ripped off or not (suggested values, kbb, etc) Upon getting the boat home I've noticed some things such as a soft spot under the starboard rear seat next to the motor cover, a hull repair next to the winch point on the bow, a poorly repaired void below the transom, some jb welded areas on what I believe to be a hydraulic steering unit (not the rams, but the unit that seems to provide fluid or pressure to them). So I have lots and lots of questions. Including motor and outdrive questions. I am new to the forums, so I apologize if this thread is posted in the wrong area. It would be nice if someone could advise me on the appropriate forum to post a (long and ever increasing) series of questions encompassing the whole boat. I appreciate your guidance in advance, and thank you for having me on the forums!
