I found this boat in twin falls Idaho, from the second I seen it I just had to have it,... not knowing anything about them, I made the trip with cash in hand to go get it...drug it back to vegas with big intentions..
thought it would be a great classic to cruise around lake mead..parker and the lower river...the motor is fresh, as is the pump...Well, that was months ago, between the cheetah stiletto,the 210 hallett, and the 270... the little sleek just set...I did gut the interior and had it re upholstered...so there she sat, new seats not installed..when I got the boat it only ran on one sadle tank, the switching valve was broke..along with a list of other stuff... the fuel lines were hard and needed replace... the main line to the engine fuel pump was kinked and got hard that way... major fuel restriction... so replaced all the lines when I did the valve...she starts right up with the tap of the key, and has a nice lope to the cam.... sounds like she'll do an easy 100 mph... or at least 50mph on gps.. so afher selling the 270....I got busy on this little classic the whole time all I think about is I should have keep the 21 rc twin turbo Schiada I had, but a lot of time and money in that schiada, even made it a triple axel trailer..
so there it is, hoping to get some water time in it today..

Really unique looking tunnel hull, great interior job - I have not seen one of those before. She should do quiet well on top end.

actually they take a LOT of power to do well on the top end, this from reading about them over the years. bitchin' looking boat though.

2FF guess you see alot of nevada between tiwn falls & vegas ?

Cool boat, I have an earlier BBF Sleek Craft Kauai jet. Nothing fancy all original.

Compound looks plenty secure but don't let that hood wander off dude, it's a hot commodity.

I just wanna run it with no hood to get everything dialed in and checked....one of the reasons I bought the boat was the hood...can't wait to see how it rides... angain, speed is not the factor for me,.. it just has to ride good with out taking out my back...i'm old... way older than this old boat..lol

Mine's a couple feet shorter and rides pretty plush, you will like it.

It's the 'go to' boat for all occasions.

I put hair pin clips in the hinges for the little inner hood.

Pull that off and the entire lump is a bit lighter and easier to remove, more grab spots too.
