Sleekcraft - would like info

[Purple People Eater]

Greetings, I am new to the forum but would like to find information on an older Sleekcraft. Growing up, my parents had a 1971/1972 Sleekcraft with an outboard. I've search the web and have not been able to find so much as a picture. As I learn more about boats and look back, I find the design unique as the hull appeared to be a hybrid - A deep V up front, but shallowing out quite a bit at the transom. I would like to verify what I remember about the design and hopefully find some pictures. If any one of you happen to have any information, I would be grateful.

Thank You

(Hope I put this in the correct spot on the forum - Forum police, please move if I messed up)

Thanks southkogs - I found something! Archbuilder's Miss Morgan, a 1969 Sleekcraft "Boats by Nescher" Newport, look just like it.

COOL! Not much out there on the net at all ... for such slick lookin' hulls, you think there'd a be owner's club or somethin'.

I agree, you would think there would be more out there. I kick myself for not buying my parents Sleekcraft, but I had another boat and wasn't thinking long term.


Here's the Purple People Eater - which I no longer have, another long story.
