As I get another project underway, some things lined up for the Moo, I go and pick up another one! :banghead:
Some of you may have seen the postings of this on another site, so its Pete and Re-Pete.
Until I can find out otherwise, it appears to be a 76 Sleekcraft SST V-Bottom. I know, Bubble deck, but haven't seen any V-Bottom SSTs before either, so by the HIN I'm just calling it as I se it for now. Maybe someone here knows? :screwy:
Either way, not a bad ride. ;D

nice looking boat bro
-
Every time I see that boat, I get a warm feeling in my shorts.....
-
Had that same feeling Skip saturday when I nearly sank it, lol.
Ray
-
how did you nearly sink it ray??????? details
-
Unc had it all last weekend, why i couldn't take it to Avi, and had a blast in it while Aunt and her neices waterskiied behind it all weekend (Just coming off knee surgery mind you, and been 15 years since shes done that).
Anyway, Unc and Aunt wanna come with us and she ski's all morning. Coming out of about a mile long no wake zone (At the back is a beach where we had lunch), stopped and she wanted to ski back around the back half before we get to shipwreck rock.
As I tighten up the rope to her, 2 HUGE wakebarges come out of the no wake zone with their hair on fire, within 20 feet of me on either side, and proceed to swamp the back half of the boat with their good 3 footers. Waited that out, No problem, turn on the bilge pumps, and we pull her up. As I get her up and drop the rpm down to 3500, two MORE barges come from the other way and nail me AGAIN!
At this point, Aunt dropped the rope, and as I turned the boat, Unc says, "We're sinking" .
No Crap! he was well over his ankles in water, it was no more than an inch below the top of the bellhousing! Bilge pumps no werkie!
Pick up aunt, BLAST it to the beach (Not a new experience), while the guys were bailing, I took one of the pumps and tore off the wires and held them on the battery, lol.
Went back, dropped Aunt and Unc off, then went back out for the rest of the day. Boat runs good, pumps working now, just wish I had the diverter on it already so when I see those pricks that initially swamped me I can make my introduction, lol.
Its coming, I noted the Reg numbers!
Ray
-
on vegas cl theres 2 diverters for sale....not sure who they belong to
-
Lookin good Ray and no I didn't say "Iguana" I said "Kermit" (the frog) ;)
-
That you did Tom! Forget who brought up the Iguana thing, lol.
Thanks Nordie!
I do have an older place diverter with the reverse "tube" on it if I can get a handle and cable cheap. Maybe on the Sag, really want a new one for this though. Gonna be on my list to Tom along with new steering cable and F/R cable. Both are SHOT! Like steering a bulldozer out there.
Got a guy coming to look at the gouges on the deck to see what can be done to fix that and match the gel (Probably impossible, but at least get close, not gonna paint the whole thing and ruin the original gel).
Next is the carpet and new motivation for the thing. 6-71, and I'm unsure if I'm keeping the logs/trumpets or going zoomies on it.
Ray
Oh, and Tom, if you need anything for that 440 Mopar project, I have a stash of old mopar parts at my parents place back east. Dunno whats there really anymore, but I can occupy the old man looking, :thumbup:
-
If Josh would get me a Carb built the Mopars ready to light! Let me know what you need for "Mean Green" you know I'll fix ya up !
re Mopar stuff I got some more mounts commin for the next Mopar project , coming soon to a boat near you !
-
Nice find Ray, congrats! I like the metal flake, diamond stitch and original splash guard. O0
Ummm... Why is there two key holes though? ???
Oh, and... Do you have a thing for sinking boats or something? :sly:

You mean as long as I keep my brother away from it! >:D So far he hasn't been allowed to look at it, ;)
Ray
Thats a Roger Finney splash guard, so kinda doubt its original, though obviously done by the Original owner.
Dunno about the 2 keys. Ones not, nor has ever been, according to PO, hooked up. Been suggested maybe for the electric fuel pump.
-
Come on Ray be nice, hell ya never know you might have set him up for the insurance money :sly: :sly: ;D ;D ;D
-
LMAO, True Mark! Already insured, but I WOULD like to have this one for longer than 48 days............. ;D
Ray
-
Ya I do have to say that steering wheel is so 70ish, reminds me of the one in my moms cutlass supreme, 4 door, that hauld the mail
-
Turned down 3 pm's from "the other site" to sell it, lol. Love that wheel! Even Tommy made comment about it!

Least your off to a good start...chevy power!!!! :o

LOL! Was an accident, and actually, one of the final selling points to me on the thing. Worked on the guy for what? 3 weeks or so? I have a complete Chebbie blower setup (Among others), and pistons for it, so watch for it this spring! (this Green Monster, as it seems to be known now, is gonna take on some personality, as the Moo has).
I now have 2 Ferds and 2 Chebbies, in varying process, should, could, get interesting.
Wonderful how a plan falls together! Still not a chop loving boat, takes rough better than Moo, but takes steering to do it and with the current cables, impossible.
Ray
Oh, and that WAS a ford towing your ass in Nate! lol. (what a funny story!!) As if I havent been towed in my by share of chebbies, lol.

Hey now...No Ferd ever towed me in! I made it in under my own power buddy! Thanks for getting my gas can for me though! That video cracks me up! Classic!
I'll be looking forward to pairing up with you next season with whatever you bring out!
You need a mopar now!
-
Still a funny story, after towing it what, 1/4 mile? lol. Kids LOVE telling that story to their friends.
Actually, Nate, thinking JUST that for this Hallet of Brads sitting in my side yard!
Tom and I been chattering about it for quite a bit now, but he and I think it's time we see a real kick ass MOPAR in the ranks. He's building two as we speak.
We'll see, I'm thinking NOT 440 or 383, sumpin a bit different, will keep you posted. Gonna be a next summer project, but I think I got things lined up as far as parts go. Gonna be Speshul!
Ray
Anyoine got any idea what my 20' Sleek is? other than a Bubbledeck SST V-Bottom?

Hey my hat goes off to you and your kids. The sun was going down fast, it was getting cold out, and you had your kids in the boat...thanks for sticking around to help me out.
We'll share many laughs over that at future events.
Goodluck with the new project.
-
Thanks Nate! Still healing a header burn from that, but loved doing it! Any time my friend!
Kids had a GREAT time! Especially coming up at the bridge as you and John (Dozzer) were going at it. RJ said, "nail it" and I did, Rivertard got a great pic of that full speed run I did under the bridge as well as the Roost I tossed infront of the beach. Didnt know he was there, lol.
Was told from the beach I nearly hit the bridge with the roost! That was encouraging.
Next time gonna bring out the Greenie, or "loogie" as I call it, but a lil more "motivated" than it is now.
All in All, I think the Moo did very well there and held her own. Ran outa gas on one tank trying to run Rivertard, backed off on Skip for other reasons (jet ski), then OWNED Nordie, many times, I think she did OK. Could be better, we'll work on that. I think Skip and Mike both woulda had me anyway, but was fun trying!

"one Miller/Mopar" coming soon to a body of water near you ;) Hey Nate where do ya suppose this motor came from ? ;D

Im guessing that was Josh's old motor out of his old Cole. I still miss seeing that boat.
Hey do you have enough water up there to make a few runs anymore?

Yeah , Only need a 1/4 mile :D
(yes yor correct on the 440)

The new "Loogie", as we been calling this 20' Sleek I bought, has FINALLY been id'd!
It's a '76 Sleekcraft Streaker!
As posted on the "other" site. (Hope this is OK)
(https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi673.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fvv95%2FIrrebel%2FSST%2FStreakerbrichure.jpg&hash=4ccdf61798f4688e805d2f6fdb574fb61d565bc5)
Does this mean I have to drive it Nekkie? ::)
Ray
Also dunno what an optional "Broug-Ham" interior means on a jet boat. New one on me!
-
Does this mean I have to drive it Nekkie?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Please for the love of all that is natural and right, DON'T do anything in public nekkid.
-
LMAO!
But it does raise a question that I already know the answer to, BUT. Does anyone have any experience or have one of these things?
I'm betting not many around since 5 sites took 3 weeks to ID it for me.
Still, having a Streaker we call the "Loogie" and a Rebel painted like a Farm Animal is a lil disconcerting, ::)
It makes me kinda lean Nordie's way and leave it alone and simply color sand it and replace the cables, try to make it as close to showroom as I can, compared to what I really wanna do (Which involves a Blower and a host of other really "Fuel Efficient" parts).
Whats the concensus?
Ray
-
That boat appears to be in great shape, clean it up, only replace what you have to, enjoy it! It's got classic lines and colors, don't mess with it.

X2!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm sorry, but a green boat with Streaker as the model name has to be named "Organic Balls Out!" lmao
That looks like a clean little boat.. 8)
Other names that I'm sure are available........"The Sick Pickle"........"Frog Dick".........."Mossy Ass" :thumbup:
GT
-
"Tube Snake"
-
"Sewer Pickle"
-
"Lung Butter"
:P

Oh here we go again........ ;D

As I get my garage organized so I can get 2 boats in it, I sat down and noticed something.
While I thought the Moo (A 78 Sleek Rebel), and the Loogie (A 76 Sleek Streaker), shared the same lines, I was always looking at the bow end of things. This pic should illustrate the differences I see now!!!!! No Wonder I nearly sank it!

At least your consistent in trying to sink all your running boats! :D

Now that there is FUNNY ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :thumbup: :thumbup: sorry Ray but that definately was funny >:D
-
LMAO Yes it was! And I do seem to have that common theme! :banghead: :banghead:
But my point was how much shallower the transom and gunnels of the boat are and the V. Didn't realize that when I had it out there, lol.
I guess everyones better at guaging this than I, lol. I just thought it weird that from the front and top, the boats appear to be "siblings" in every way, but in that one shot, which is the very vantage point sitting my ass on a 5 gallon paint can I noticed it. (Normally they have covers on them out there, pulled them off so the Ex-Wife who's in town could be shown the boats by my son, else still wouldn't have noticed this). Explains the rougher ride a bit!

real good looking boat. thanks i learned what the (splash gaurd is ) thanks :banghead:
