Good morning! I am new to the forums here and new to owning a classic. We recently (yesterday!) purchased what we believe is a 1966 Renken Renegade (that's how it was listed on CL)
We picked it up fairly cheap as we have wanted to get our hands dirty with a project boat. She's (at the moment) powder blue and white. We believe she may have been red, white, and blue originally.

Any info on her would be awesome! Thanks for looking!
Karen
