How many guesses do I get? I see some rims in that pic that would be cool on the trailer.
 
NEED SOME TRANSOM HELP FROM THE MASTER

That's the plan, He want's to match the race car. I think Gus will like the fact we went with the yellow and black but that is going to be a long way off for us. "COOP" I have some questions about installing the new transom. I feel OK about building the transom then glassing it in at the floor, the sides of the hull, at the stringers and stringer knees but not how to connect it to the old glass shell of the transom that wes saved. I'm also unsure about how to install and seal the new brass fitting for the drain plug. Any instruction on the best way to do this will be a big help. "THANKS COOP" :thumb: FRED
 
I was a Sleekcraft & Checkmate Dealer in the 80's.

So...what you pulled out of the woods my friend is a Sleekcraft Kauai 19'.
This hull was ost popular in a jet drive configuation though I had interest in it's o/b version here in NJ back in the 80's. Sleekcraft had a great run in the late 70's and early 80's, building first low profile boats in Santa Fe Springs Ca.
Bruce Necsher was the owner of the company. They later got to building offshore heavy water type hulls. These boats were top quality, lasted for years and really took a beating. If you need anymore info feel free to email me at psnjron@comcast.net. Good luck with your rebulid! Ron
 
Thanks
