Gulfster Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 Thank you received: 0	This boat was posted about two years ago. Since then, I purchased it and completed the interior restoration and added a late model engine. Fantastic boat. Anyone looking for a Jet Flight?

Thinking about selling it to get a bigger boat. Looking at a Century Coronado. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

That Reinell is not a '63 it's a '60. The reigstration of old boats often show the wrong year. Contact Bill at Billscars.com , he is actively looking for one. Kevin Mueller (kevFin) would surely be interested as well, as he was looking for one. Does it have any evidence of ever having a center deck? Yours is the only one I've seen as an open cockpit. I'm attaching a picture of mine -it's unrestored & looks so cool as a rat-rod that I hate to change it.

PS - did you find the Reinell tags embedded into the underside of the bow deck? If you found them, are you able to see the ink stamp showing the hull number? I'm trying to get an idea of how many were even built.

Thanks in advance

Bruce

Bruce, beautiful boat! I agree--she looks wonderful as a rat rod. I'll look for the tag under the bow and let you know what I find. Where is your boat? Does yours have the divided interior? The guy who restored mine took it out and built a spot for a cooler. I took that out and installed the back seat with the wrap around bolster. It comfortably seats four adults now.
