Hello folks.
I am currently restoring a 1984 26' Ambassador and I am in need of a few items hoping that someone on here can help me out.
I need a windshield, both top bow windows, both bilge top vents, both Sleekcraft side emblems, and some advise.
As for the advise I was told that sleeks had a problem with the deck cracking in half due to no supporting bulkhead in the berth area. is there any truth to this or is it just hearsay?
I purchased the boat from a gentleman in Lake Havasu that was going to restore it as well. He stripped the boat of all its outside hardware. Luckily he left the out drive and interior intact. It is in great condition and after repairing a water pickup hole that had been drilled in the bottom I am ready to install a temporary engine just to see I she floats.
I have a second boat that I am concurrently restoring as well it is a 1979 Ranger daycruiser that I have owned for 22 years. The ranger needs the floors, transom, and stringers replaced before I can go any further and I bought the Sleek to keep me on the lake while I restored the Ranger.
I plan on restoring the Sleek completely once I have the Ranger done and once the Sleek is finished I plan to give the Ranger to my two children as it was the boat they grew up on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks fellow boaters.
