How to I.D. Reinell boat models?

[My835.0]

Does anybody know what year or model this might be? Is it worth any things or should I haul it to the dump? Thanks for the info. Im not a boat dude I don't want to scrap it if its a piece of boaters history.

Probably not significant historically & not worth much if you don't 'love' it....

You can look thru some of the Reinell's listed here, and try to find a similar boat, but that link doesn't have many pix or models.

If you fished from one w/ your grandfather growing up, it might be special to someone. But still not worth much in it's present condition.

And not much more then your restoration costs(and perhaps less), once restored either.

Whoever had it probably figured it was cheaper to give it away then to pay to dispose of it......

What's WA requirements for boat, trailer & motor title & registration. That is often the death-nail for vintage boats: You can't get it registered in some states w/out a paper trail...

Thanks for answering my question. I didn't think it was worth any thing I got it for free, I just wanted to make sure some collector would want it. To the dump it goes.

You might surf thru your local craigslist ads & ebay

Someone might want the windshield, or any of the hardware bolted to it. Particularly the Reinell logos, esp metal, and if they are in good shape. Look to have some corrosion & pitting:

That might pay for your labor to remove all that stuff from the hull.

I figured id pull all the chrome and logos off and put them on the net. Theirs all ways somebody looking for parts the glass and the frame work are in good shape too.
