It is an "Executive". Got the interior out, the seats in the cabin are good some of the wood has been replaced out in the seating area. Got a blue bimini. I buffed all the blue on the boat, will buff the white tomorrow. Pulled a valve cover Clean clean. Dual batteries with an isolator. Found the key in the boat. Built in ice chest in the forward birth, drains into the bilge.

Oh I know it's an Executive.......and I'll repeat in front of everyone what I texted you back this morning about it............

YOU SUCK!  ;D

Great find Terry! Really, all kidding aside. I got a Berk JC and Intake if you wanna convert it, but personally, I think that WJ will do just fine with it.

NOW, we gotta get our heads together here.......what about matching paint/gel on ours?......mess with the locals when they're cruising Mead..........

X2 i was just going through the pictures of my rebuild and on 4/25 i had a BARE hull and a couple days after a month later i was on the water

My Moo wasn't quite that bad, but in less than 4 or 5 weeks, I think,  my inexperienced, idiot ass had her built and 5 hours away at Lake Mead for her, and my, coming out party!

Dude, bring the boat to the Big River deal! Between all that will be there, it'll be on the water in under an hour! I watched Ralph practically rebuild a Dominator in nearly half that time last year there, with a lil kit bag and never left the boat. CJ222 (Nick) was doing the same on an 850DP 2 boats east on the Laker Boat........ ;D

I'll play gopher the tools and parts........best I can do with the crew that's gonna be there. We're here to help.

He DID start the rodeo portion of of the gatherings. I think the rest were just fine with some heavy drinking, boating and a Pot Luck dinner, but NOOOOOOOO! Lord can only imagine what heights, or lows now that I think about it, B-rad has in mind this time...... :sly:

Stand it up on the water heater pedestal and ratchet strap it to the water heater. If the grommets can knock all THAT over, I wouldn't EVER mess with them......... ;)

Thanks guy's i appreciate the input.

Actually, finding one will be next to impossible without buying another boat for it. I'd PM Gil (Bowrider) and see if you can work out some detained pics/measurements and have one made. Gils' is a lot more complicated than mine on the Ambassador, but could be done, I would think.

Better yet, wait til the off-season, grease Gil's palm and I'm sure Skip knows a good glasser in or around Bakerstucky that can duplicate it using Gil's....... ::)

Great fockin deal, don't care WHAT it looks like.  :thumbup:  Baby sister to my Ambassador. Should be almost a twin to it.

you guys sure do give out alot of info.. haha all good stuff.. i like reading everything... it gives me insight and know how... also it tells me how not to piss you guys off on the water... i will hopefully have my boat in the water in a month or so... gotta pull the carb, do a rebuild, fix some wiring, and replace my ignition switch... then she(hopefully) will be all done and ready to go

Hell, that sounds like a few hours work in an afternoon, not a month........ :screwy:

so it would look like gil's engine cover then! good luck with your search!

Exactly! I think they're the same on the 19' Kauai and the 20' Aristocrat Models, if that helps at all.

$100.......sent to the bank today, from way up here in Reno, Nevada......God bless the family

Over use the words "I love you"

Never say "I'm too busy"

We only get one chance

My seven year old just sat down with me to talk about this tragic accident.  He walked into his room and came back out with his allowance to give away.  Boy was I choked up!  God speed little guy

That brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you and welcome to the dysfunctional family that is SCJB!

Gee, thanks Jeff......That's JUST what I need..... :sly:

Ray

In looking at it though......... :screwy:.......it's almost as flat as Pickle is but with the taller transom of Moo........Still trying to figure out just what my boat is as well. Could be a fun project for sure, even 1/4 stringer.

Sure it's a 19' or an 18'?? 18' would have a doghouse, 19' would have a complete hatch cover.

Ray

There was a guy selling one on and off craigs list for an 18' Rebel on one of the northwest craigs lists........chatted with him a bit, but shipping it? forget it!

you send it to the sleek craft retirement community....ray's house!


No, You Don't!  ;D  None of mine are THAT dead yet....... :screwy:

Yeah, it's a Sleek for sure. Probably an early Kauai like Bowriders, although it does resemble my Moo more, just a little bigger.  Don't see many Sleeks with Jacuzzi's in 'em though.

Ray

Yours also has been capped, obviously. Kindof a piece of history, sell it to someone to rebuild, don't just cut it up.
