Need a little help

BadBoy

i recently purchased a 1974 Rinker with 140 I/O GMC motor. Nice older boat but has some issues. Is there any sites i could download a owners manual from online or maybe a little more info on a few of the items I will need to address on this Boat? I appreciate any helpful info iI can get, btw, 1st time poster.

Welcome to the forum!  You probably won't find a manual.  Even newer Rinkers have only a generic manual with basic safety information. 

The Rinker owners on this forum can help.  Ask questions, and don't be bashful.  Be specific and include photos if needed.  We'll do our best.

Welcome to the forum!  I agree with LaRea.  Just ask questions and post pictures.  The more specific you can be, the more specific we can answer.  Lots of great people here that are passionate about helping others with their boats.  Would love to see some pictures of your boat!

Thanks for the replies and I will post a picture once I get some of the work done. I was trying to determine whats was original on the boat and what was redone. Again I thank ou for your replies.

I just got the Boat in the garage and have not had anytime to get it all situated, I am still testing electrical and mechanical issues with it. I promise as soon as I get it to a half way decent place I will post pics, I just liked it because it was an older boat with alot of memories when I was younger but I have not been on the Boat for 13 years. The gentleman that owned it gave me first crack at purchasing it so I ought it.
