Hi I'm new here... I bought my 2nd boat last summer.
1997 Reinell 2030 BRXL 5.7L with 130 hours.
We only had the chance to take it out a few times but really enjoyed it.8)

My questions:
Should I buy all Mercury Brand Lubes and oil?

our previous boat was a 1982 Seaswirl 16' open bow with a little Chev I4. I sure miss being able to go all weekend without hitting the gas station but WTH!!!

LL - We have a 2030 BRXL also. Sweet boat. Actually just picked it up today - was having a custom snap cover made - green to match the boat.

Is it summer yet? 8)

Saw three early-birds with their boats out on the lake yesterday. With 69 forecast for this Friday it is tempting... Then again we had snow two days a go... :)

99% sure she is a '97. Boat is pretty skunky right now. Our next step is to buff off all the oxidation. Will get better pics when she's cleaned up, but here are a couple of the cover.

Sorry this took so long to get back to you. Been off actually working (ha ha). Just put the boat in the lake today. Required some effort - new battery, new starter, new slave solenoid. The slave solenoid was the kicker. First boat I have seen that required a booster solenoid to kick the starter over. The slave solenoid explains why were having starting difficulties last fall. With everything replaced it starts like a dream. Oh, we also has the fuel pump replaced last fall when it was winterized. She really wants to get up and run now. Sweet.

Engine is a brand new 5.7L V8 Merc.

Hi there I know these posts are old but I hope you still have your boats. I just bought a 1997 Reinell bow rider that is about 22 ft long. Volvopenta 5.7 gli B7911032-C41C-48A5-81A4-492F22AA84A8.jpegAD01C3D7-204A-48F3-8CA3-91F9831EC612.jpeg with a cobra sx out drive. Would like to know the model, can’t find a label or markings anywhere.

LovinLife might still have his boat, but hasn't logged on to iboats in over 10yrs, not likely to get or reply to your querry, hence the 90day guideline of posting to inactive topics.

Start a topic about your Reinell and ask questions there about your boat.
