Re: 1978 T-180????

do you have any photos of your T-1900 in the water and on the trailer? The trailer that came with mine doesn't seem to be the corrent one. The seems to be sitting quite hight on the trailer, which has rollers and not bunks. My concern is how far I need to back my truck into the water for launching and retrieving.
I just go this boat for Free, because the head gasket was blown, so I thought it would make another great project, plus it has a wake tower fitted.
i will post photos tomorrow.

Thanks

I don't know much about Reinell Tri-hulls YET!!!!
Just picked mine up during the week.

You should start a new thread asking about the 1971 model.

Good luck

I'm glad it helped. She is pretty sound. Urs should look just like mine so yes send them on over.

Hey craigman, send me an email with some pics and ill give you the info i have learned so far. They only made a handful of T-1900's and trust me it was a hand crafted boat. some might argue but trying to fing replacement parts is a mofo. Jst clean her up and keep a great name on the waters...

Just an update, I got the motor out and the head is of at the machine shop, now it is time to start working on the hull. Here are a few photos of it.

I am still have trouble finding details on this model with the I/O setup.
Anyone help please..............

The interior is not pretty, but I plan on red seats with white trimming, should turn out ok.
