    1989 Renken 2000 I think I'm in trouble

    Well guys I appreciate all the advice, all the moral boosting words from you guys! I saw that guide, going through it, it’s very in depth, thumbs up to that guy. I’ll be taking on this adventure as soon as it stops raining every other day here in Michigan.

    1989 Renken 2000 I think I'm in trouble

    Yep looked up the resto thread, it’s very involved but not terribly horrid, I don’t think my transom is rotted, wouldn’t my motor be sagging? Also the roads I had to drive on to get the boat home are riddled with pot holes, if it was rotted it would of ripped off. But this is the discovery phase...

    Parts are available, I’m pretty mechanically inclined, but always willing to do research. So I tear up the deck, remove the foam and all the rotted wood, buy new wood and foam, install? I understand there’s Lot to it but it could be a fun project right?

    But why? Is the repair process that difficult? The hull is solid. I have all the electronics, just looking for advice on the deck.

    1989 Renken 2000 I think I'm in trouble

    So I bought a 1989 Renken 2000 with trailer for $500, needed some work... Much more now than I thought... So it has a 1979 Chrysler motor on the back, seems solid but I have to rewire the ignition, which finding a wiring diagram seems to be impossible. Deck is pretty rotted =( but I figured I'd...
