Renken 170 Classic has last 4 digits in hull ID of E495. NADA Lists no Renkens manufactured in 1995. Value of '94 170 Classic about half of '96 170. Does anyone have a suggestion for resolving this? Is there some other way to verify the production date of this gem of the sea?<br /><br />Thanks
I bought 4.3L Mercruiser powered Chapparral last week with a freeze damaged block. I am ready to spend the $3000 to have short block replaced, but a friend told me about a guy who can patch most cracked blocks. Says he's done it for 7 years with only one warranty return. Charges about $1200...
