Joined Nov 1, Messages 8. Hey everyone. I'm a new boat owner It's a Renken CC, 21' cuddy cabin with 4. Since then I have found out that Renken is out of business and this was the last year any vessels had their name. It's my understanding that United Marine took-over Renken around due to bankruptcy.
I guess really what I'm trying to figure out is the overall quality of the boat? Anyone have any experience with these things? Any insight someone can give will be greatly appreciated This boat may be 10 years old, but you can hardly tell Let me know what you got for me Joined Nov 11, Messages 51, Joined Dec 1, Messages 8, I used to have a Renken 18 footer. It had a Mercury outboard on it. I owned it for several years and sold it for more than i bought it for.
It was a well built boat. I would buy another one if i found a good deal on one. I never had one problem with it. Joined Mar 19, Messages 3, All three were great boats, none had any issues what so ever.
Excellent hull design, dry ride and lots of room. Renken went through a number of ownership changes in the later years, its always been my understanding that the original Renken boats were all prior to , then after that the company was run by the original owners sons or something who then ran it till They eventually came back as Sea Fox boats, same owners, same factory location.
You can find more info at fiberglassics. Thanks for all the info guys. I've been extremely happy with this boat so far. Not a single problem. This is my first boat, but my father and other family members have always had boats that I helped use, abuse, and take care of.
Unfortunately for me, they all had outboards, so a lot of this mechanical stuff is new to me. Most things don't seem that difficult though. As for the boat, I would agree with what you guys said so far. I'm happy that the couple comments are positive, I was starting to wonder if the one I had just didn't have problems yet. I guess I say that because I don't see many of them around for sale, and prior to me purchasing this one, I had never heard of them.
The hull is in great shape and seems to be well built and strong. The boat shows no sign of damage or rot. The owner told me that he could count on his one hand how many times he's had it over rpm's. Even when I test drove it, he was asking me to take it easy I even talked to the shop that did all the work on this boat for 10 years, and their exact words were, " Damn what a deal, run the hell out of it cause he never did.
The only thing the mechanic did tell me to watch for was if it ever started mis-firing to look to the manifolds for the problem Maybe I can get more info on that in the other section. Thanks again for your input I just hope I can take care of it as well as the original owner and his mechanics did I'll look forward to sharing the time with all you mates.

It got a brand new hull put under it at the factory in Charleston SC, where they completely reconned the top deck, and it was a good solid boat after that. Joined Mar 26, Messages 23, Neil said:. King Cobra drive. Joined Feb 25, Messages I have a Renken 20' Bowrider with a 3. Owned it a few years now, and love it. The hull is great, planes great and very smooth, and seems to be pretty solidly contructed.
I would put it on par with any other similar boat of the period, I mean, I did replace the floor, but thats not unusual for s boats. I definately love mine though and have no complaints. Frank Acampora Supreme Mariner. Joined Jan 19, Messages 12, I had an 81 Renken 18 foot, closed bow outboard.
It was an entry level boat and the Higgins Boats Models Ltd previous owner used it on the Delaware Bay in rough--really rough--water. When I got it I quickly found that the deck had separated from the hull from the bow halfway back to the stern. The "pop" rivets holding it together were not backed by washers and in the pounding of the rough water.
There was no scuffing of the hull or other damage so it had to be wave pounding related. That was the only problem I ever had with the boat. The boat was a great riding, excellent rough water boat. It would handle almost anything you could expect from a boat that size with no fuss. The only reason I sold it was because I wanted a larger cuddy cabin boat. HarleyBlack Recruit.

Is there some other place that I can look to get this information HIN?
