Ahoy to one and all !

First of all, Is there anyone that has any literature, schematics, or structure information on this particular craft ??
Pictures of any previous projects with the 247 would be a huge plus.. Other than scant stories about the company itself I haven't found much in the way of any of the above.

I'm in this for the long haul and have plenty of experience with all different aspects of mechanical, fiberglass, Wood working, electrical and a slew of wood and metal paint's and protective coatings, but never all in one project... I've owned a few 16' to 23' boats in the past but had never restored one, so, in a lot of respects this will be a first for me at least in this setting, but background has encouraged the confidence to take it on... (First mistake fully disclosed) (lol)

That said, Old model Reinell owners please don't be shy, anything you have in regards to this is greatly appreciated.

As time floats on details and pictures will be posted, thanks.

There really isn't this type of info around for old boats, normally the builder didn't have much of a design plan either and it changed frequently, so what you find is what it is. Your only hope would be if someone rebuilt the exact same model and took a bunch of pics.

The upside is that for the most part they are all made the same and you just need to replace what you find and do a little better job than what they did...which is not too hard.

I'll be watching I might have to do a 22ft Fiberform so interested in seeing how you do it.
