Hello wise gurus of iboats. My name is Damion and after seeing the knowledge in the community here I knew someone could help me figure out what kind of boat it is I'm getting.
My boss got a new to him four winds boat. Problem is he needs a place to keep it, I convinced him the right answer was to pass his old reinell down to me. I spent many summers growing up boating with friends and family in Minnesota so while my knowledge in makes and models is slim to none I do understand what to look for in a used boat. Being a Colorado boat as long as it was put away properly I wasn't terribly concerned about rot in any of the wood and this was confirmed with a quick inspection. More will be done naturally but considering we think the boat is a 74 and the floor felt better then most prefabbed homes I'm not terribly concerned I'm getting a lemon. We believe the boat is a 19 or 20 footer
Now the interior is a different story, it's been in the barn 12 years you see. Nothing I'm afraid of in fact restoring this boat is something I look foreword to. I just don't know what it is. The motor is a mercruiser 188hp ford I believe is a 302 but the boss says it's a 351. Valve covers say 188hp. There is a spare motor that comes along with the boat too that was rebuilt 10 years ago but never installed. This motor is still fresh confirmed with a full leakdown test.
If someone recognizes this out of the pics below i'd love the help and if this is in the wrong section mods please move. Also I will get more pics after the holiday is over.
