Newbie from KY--1st Jet Boat

That's a very nice boat! Thanks for sharing.
Do you know if the specific model is stamped or tagged somewhere on the hull?

The HIN should be on outside starboard transom. Might be covered with paint?

If it's 18 feet it's a Rebel. Sure looks like one to me, Kauai has a dip in the gunnel, Rebel does not.

Also, that hood is worth waaaaay more than you paid for the boat, guard it with your life.

Here's some info on Sleekcraft.

That's awesome information. Thank you for sharing.
Beginning to debate if my skillset and motivation are high enough to see this project through the end. At this point, its not really eating anything and its not in my way. May just chalk it up to out of sight, out of mind right now.
I've been trying to establish a value for insurance purposes. I'm glad you mentioned the hood, I will have to do a little more research into that. Id like to put insurance on it the way it sits, just incase.
Is there a KBB for abandoned jet boat projects??..lol

the value in the hood, I think maybe, It makes it WAY easier to get the boat insured.
