Default Re: 21 ' Renken Fishing/Family with roller trailer

Well then I guess you guys are gonna here somethin new today. Back in the early 90's a guy my dad fished with bought a RENKEN 2488 brand new with a 350 I/O. He run the SH!T out of that boat for over 3 years before he had the first hull problem with it. And when I say he beat on it, he BEAT ON IT!!!!! 10 foot seas for him and airtime was a normal occurrence, he got the name KRAZY LENNY because of how he run it. He NEVER missed a weekend fishing trip with that boat, except for a full blown hurricane(a tropical storm would make him think twice, but not detur him). It was some true 12 foot seas that ended up causing his hull problem after 3 years, which was a seperation of the cap from the ull along a 4 foot section in the cabin. He made it home still, and RENKEN fixed the boat no questions asked. He fished it in this same manner for at least another 5 years without issue. With the kind of abuse I seen him put that boat through, I don't think ANY boat could hold up to him any better. The RENKEN's really impressed me after seeing how he abused his without major issue's for so long. I've seen CONTENDER's break apart in less seas than he put his through.

I know SKOOLS hates em with a true passion though ;D.
