Maybe if you post the HIN# someone can decode it for you.

Yes sir, you got yourself an Aristocrat it looks like. I could be wrong. Not 100% positive with just the 2 pics. Could also be and SST, Kauai, Sportster, or Rebel. Can you post a couple more pics? Do you know how many feet she is?

Here are a couple pics of mine...it's a work in progress....

That is without doubt a SleekCraft Rebel. The Aristocrat is a completely different deck. The SST uses a very similar deck to the Aristocrat. The Kaui is a bubble deck and the sportster has a little upturned spoiler on the back. The old girl looks to be pretty original. I'm guessing it has a jet behind that Olds 455. I can see the corner of the bottom half of the original engine enclosure as well.

All but the sportster can be seen in the sleekcraft brochure here.

You can see pics of my Rebel by clicking on the link in my signature.

Re: what model sleekcraft?

All the HIN will tell you is the maker. For sleekcraft it should start with SLE as long as the boat was produced after 73. Before 73 there was no real standard for hull manufacturer ID. That is definitely a Rebel. Sleek made a couple other 18' boats but the deck was different. The Rebel was a popular hull. Quite a few of them still around.

You should register over at texashotboats.com there is quite a few jet boat guys down there near you.
