Hey all. A few buddies and I just picked up a free boat, its just a hull, windsheild and steering wheel now but its going to be our winter project. Its an old rinkerbuilt. Anybody have any info on this brand and maybe can tell me how I can find out the year of it. I'll post some more photos and the serial number later. I just have the one pic for now. Thanks for any info.

Look on the back of the boat. The HID number should be on the top right corner. The last 2 digits of this number are always the year of the boat on any boat. Hope this helps

You can also check out Fiber Glassic's as well. They helped me a ton with my 74' Silverline.

I suppose it would have some serial no or something. Maybe in the engine or somewhere.
