18'? Looks a LOT like one of mine! 1/4 stringer not a problem with even some major HP. (Glenn??) I'm no expert, but here's my .02

Actually, Sleek made, or makes, 3 performance hulls that I know of. 2 are 20', one a 21', and a few "to order" hulls I've heard of.
The 3 hulls I speak of were all available as either tunnel hulls or V-Bottom. (Part of my research trying to figure out just what the hell the Pickle was for 3 months)

Good, solid boats, IMO. But I am biased. I have a Hallett here, and a Saguaro (Beisemeyer clone), and had another Beisemeyer and Sanger here, and an Eliminator for a short period. A few others I'll leave out to protect everybody. To be prefectly honest, without getting into hull hook or rocker, and picky snot you're gonna find in ANY hull, I see no quality difference when they are side by side.

I CAN say this though! IN the sunlight, I can look under the bow, gunnels, anywhere and not see light coming in on my Sleeks. I CAN, however, in every single one of those hulls that have been, or are, in my yard! Could be wear and tear, I get that, or lighter layups, but I've seen some scarey spots in them with what appears to be no fiberglass supporting the resin. The 18' Hallett is probably the heaviest thing I have ever seen, by tongue weight, my ol' 21' was nothing to lift compared to that thing! Could be no engine?  

Looks like a decent boat. Put an eyeball on it and post more pics if you have time before you need to make a decision, but looks to me like a modified Rebel, Kauai, or possibly a Sportster model. I'm betting Rebel. (Coincidence, PURE coincidence!)

Ray

I got a couple around Boost, but one says "Saguaro Boats" on it, and the other "Sleek Craft" .........

Dun got any with the lightening holes in them to make them more aerodynamic, else you'd be welcome to it.........

I'd be happy to drill holes on one of 'em for yah though bud!    lol.

Ray

PS send a pic to Tom and JRork as well. Might be able to pick up a used one pretty cheap. Surprises me Jim doesn't have one in his extensive inventory, or GT for that matter. They have everything!

I like the comments on Moo! Kinda why I like the boat,  .

Two things were commonly said at Temple Bar last year. "Wow, the Moo Boat is here" and "Who the hell would paint a boat like that" 

I think the latter was HDRider..........lol.

No worries bud! Just tryin to help.

Ray

Sorry Ralph I been too busy playing boat, but here you go 928 767 3211

Also Thanks for posting a map Jeremy

So everyone knows after you take the turn off for temple bar the road is 27 miles of desolate road, and that part to me absolutely sucks ass, but when you pull in there you soon realize it is all worth it....i will be there friday morning till monday!

Any other questions anyone can give me a PM or a call if you have my number I will be off work all of this week! Unfortunately work is slow!

One more thing are we going to do the saturday night pot luck again? If so we should probably get a list going

That desolate road is actually very scenic towards the end...........(wait sounds very much like a another activity........)

Anyway, the trip in is worth it!

Since Chromey's comin', I'll toss the spare grille in the truck again, and yeah, we do the pot luck dealio! That was AWESOME last year!

If Crewcheif's not comin, I got dib's on Chili (No Ralphs "Emergency, someone call the CDC" stuff, but good chit!). If Keith comes, I'll come up with sumpin.

Ray

Is anyone going out tomorrow?            Sunday         Sunday     Sunday    he says like a big time radio ad guy

Love too hit that lake again! Too bad it's so far away and the last trip, well, don't remind me, lol. Be back next year tho! 

I DO want another crack at those damn ducks with no grate and an open loader with Moo! Never seen so many ducks in my life, let alone suicidal ones! Had I a Whacker, woulda been feathers all OVER the lake!

Ray

Sounds like a plan G! Yeah, I was planning on leaving Thursday afternoon at like 3 or 4 once I abscond the kids from school?

You Staying til Monday too?

Ray

Mark, since it became part of your mailing address, I think you're stuck with it! Might even need to have Brad "adjust" your screen name to reflect it. Take it as a badge! 

Ray

I'm with Brad on that thinking! The local lakes here are cool, once a month in summer, but that river, the three times I went there last year were a BLAST! No doubt it's cuz I own these itty bitty jet boats, but the three hour drive to Blythe, Big River, or even the 4 hours to the Avi? Worth every penny and minute!

Ray

That's true Tony, lol. They do tend to read like novels. Need to work on that   But adds more to my point that only a true friend would point that out so candidly.  

But the siggy line part was not where I was going with it, LMAO Ralph!   THAT is FUNNY!

Ray

LOL Ralph!! THAT is humour, and I still bruise easily!! 

Brad is 100% right. I am probably the most guilty of all of it. Not even gonna go there! But I think maybe you are falling into the trap I set and put myself into about 7 months ago with this.

It's just very easy to read things on here and jump in thinking it's a conversation, not posts. It's just that same relaxed atmosphere that makes it so welcoming as well. What makes it easily being taken the wrong way is it ISN'T a face to face or group conversation, per se. Beleive me, half your posts would probably be VERY funny in person! (Some are anyway, I know the ones aimed at me I thought were funny! Even from a guy that's never seen Moo or met me, but that's me). Just be careful of what CAN be read into your posts. They can say Blue, and read Red. 

Harry, we all welcome you here, and are glad you ARE here. As far as cliques? don't really exist, to my mind, its a perception. A lot of us get away with many many comments towards each other because we have all met and spent time in person, and we can almost predict when one of us will post on a subject and kinda tongue in cheek us. Glasscutter, Skip, OC2  Nordie and many more nail me good every time, relentlessly, but I don't hold them in any higher regard than anyone else on the site. I love those guys! And they know I'm never serious either. Actually, I should be checked, I need to have a more serious side now that I think about that!  .

I look forward to meeting you and seeing you at some of this summers events. SCJB or not. I did not research anything as Brad did, nor do I care to. I pretty much can figure out what happened from the subject matter from experience.

Ray

Mine was all carbeuration. (sp) Just food for thought. Timing was spot on. At high RPM, with compression, makes sense. Funny thing with mine was, one of the carbs ran the boat better than two. Same carbs! ran one for awhile, then the other. Together on a new T/R, lean, go figure. Didn't have the extreme of the spark plugs, but did hear popping (Actually, Flytime heard it too while in the boat).

Good luck with yours!

Ray

Wholly Crap is that Funny!!!! PMP here! lol

John......OMG lol!

Ray

I had the kids out cleaning up the boat from the lake yesterday.

Dunno what you're talking about? Whats this "Cabin Fever"
