1973 24 Reinell manual PLS

[islandnightowl]

I am a proud new owner of a 1973 24 foot Reinell cuddy cruiser that is in need of restoration. I noticed a thread posted in 2010 that a manual offered but now the thread is closed I am hoping someone still has a manual for this boat? THANK YOU! islandnightowl

Why do you need/want an owners manual for a 1973 boat? Interior layout? Color scheme?

An engine service manual will be very helpful and can usually be found online for purchase or download...

Most of the systems on a 40yr old boat needing resto will likely need attention too, and little of that info will be in an owners manual

Lol because I am finding all sorts of "surprises" in the hull and structure that I doubt are part of the boat The colour scheme I know because it is original ... and rotten... but I expected that! I would like to know more about her wiring, plumbing, gauges, and any other info that she originally started with. I am trying to bring her back to the way she was... not the way she is....sadly So two weeks later....she is stripped of decay and rot but after taking the carpet out there is a little door on the deck in the cabin that has fluid and who knows what....I would appreciate some answers And it would be the right thing to do after all the work of bringing her back to life to have an owners manual so when she goes to boat shows that is something that others can enjoy as well. Thank you! Islandnightowl

Re: 1973 24 Reinell manual PLS

Having it at a boat show would be nice, but unfortunately, I suspect the owners manual for the boat will be somewhat generic. The boat manual won't have much info if any about the motor, wiring, plumbing etc. It may contain a list of available options.

They weren't nearly as informative as a new cars. New boats owners manuals maybe different.

I'm guessing that this was the thread you referred to earlier:

have info on 1973 reinell

Jim offered to provide any info his manual would provide about your boat, send him a PM w/ the details as you know them about your boat. Sounds like he provided the info to a few different posters to his thread....

You can left click on Jim372's user name, and from the available links, pick Private Message and he may reply. But he hasn't been logged on to iboats since Sept 4, 2012....

Some info may be found at one of these:

But it really isn't much
