    What is the model of this 73 Sleekcraft 18 footer w/ 455?

    This is my 73 Sleekcraft I restored in the early 80s...I have no idea what the model is... it is designed by Nescher...he went on to design other later model boats...all having his signature of windshields that really made the boat sleek. These are blurry as they are still frames snapped from a video. Can anyone identify?

    I have the 1976 Sleekcraft sales catalog & there isn't anything like that boat in it. Are you sure it's a Sleekcraft?

    I thought the same thing at first but it has the signature Sleek engine cover AND there is another one on Dallas CL right now that is an outboard. Definitely a Sleek.

    Got it. Thanks to the guys over at PB. It's a Monterey. The name badge is clearly visible on one of the pics Tom posted.

    That's quite a coincidence...I have two jet boats by Wriedt and Sleekcraft and they are both Montereys...however if you read on down in the thread on PB...someone refers to the boat on the skid as a Sleek...it is identical as mine down to the original seats...oh, yeah, the one on Craigslist, the outboard, was just like mine down to that Nescher badge plate.

    Kinda crazy both your boats have the same model designation. If you look close in the pics of the boat Tom shipped you can see the Sleek Craft badge on the side of it too.
