1984 Rinker open bow model?

Warlockmatized

Hello all. I have a newly acquired 1984 Rinker 16ft 6in open bow boat that I would like to order some accessories for online. However the online boat stores list model numbers such as "V170" and I have NO clue what model boat I have. The title does not say. I do however have the hull I.D. number. Can someone please help me find or tell me how or where to locate my specific model.

Thanks

Ron

If nothing else, call Rinker with your HIN and they can probably tell you.

Here you go Steve RNK14986C484 ANY/ALL help *IS* greatly appreciated. It is hard to get a rain cover, Bimini top etc etc because they all want to know model.

Black Diamond I sent Rinker an email. They say they only go back to 1994....

It is most likely either a V165 or V170.  Does it look like the front of the one pictured on eBay?  If so then I would suspect it to be a V165. I believe that the V170 was more common.

Thanks for the reply. I found some info on another site late last night. In 1984 Rinker had a handful of models. According to the descriptions of each I have found mine to be a 170V or V170. Partial description from other site "The 1984, 170V is a 16.5 foot inboard/outboard boat." According to all available 1984 Rinker boats the 170 is the ONLY 16.5 foot boat. That *HAS* to be my boat. If I am wrong or have been mislead I welcome corrections/alterations.

Sorry for the font change. It is a result of my copy/paste from the other site. No yelling meant or implied
