I do have a wheel bearing seal that is leaking grease all over the back of the rim on one side.....dunno what size seal so hafta pull it to measure etc and have been LAZY about that...mebbe tomorrow Ill do it and clean up the rim, that way NOTHING is wrong with the boat........It'll be a good boat for someone.....

Vegas,

Hope the $$$ rolls in soon, I know how hard it is to keep motivated. I have to switch between projects often to keep my ADD in check

Love what you have done with the boat. You and your wife have done an excellent job all the way around.
Good luck on the sale of your Glastron.
Great job.

Vegas,
I looked on CL and saw the same thing, I was hoping you had hit paydirt.
You are correct to keep it in the first page of listings.
Good luck,
Bob

Heres a video showing before after effects of the poli-glow hull/fiberglass gel coat restoration, didnt realize I had this vid from a few weeks back posted on youtube! really shows the difference between the flat dull finish and the newer shine that the poli-glow adds.........

Couple of easy hours rubbing the boat and heres the result

Re: PROJECT ~ JEZABEL 23' Sleekcraft Executive ~ Turbo Restore ~ Tons of pics

vegas,
That poly glow really does look good.
I have a couple quick questions if you don't mine.
How many coats are you putting on.
How long does it take to dry.
Do you have to buff after it drys.

Your boat is really lookin great.
Keep it up.
Also,I hope that guy is still coming to look at your Glastron tomorrow.
Bob

Hey Vegas,

Not sure why I haven't paid more attention to this thread. Maybe petty jealousy You see . . . I love Sleek Executive 23s and I have always wanted to restore one. I do have one issue that keeps me away though, I just can't deal with a port helm . . . Just an issue for me that I need to get over

Here is a real sweet one that I found a few years back. She was for sale, but I can't recall what the price tag was:

I have a friend with an Ambassador 26, but I still like the Exec better. Yours is looking really sweet.

Since both of us like older Havasu/CO river rides. Check out this Campbell 32 that I was semi-serious about a couple of years back. I think she would be perfect for charters on Havasu:

You could always changer her over to star board helm.

ADDED MORE VIDEOS ~JEZABEL 23' Sleekcraft Executive ~ Turbo Restore ~ Tons of pics

New videos / picture of interior and wood decking part installed (so the floor is level) there was an inset in the floor I didnt care for so it is now flat all the way across.

Materials USED = cedar dog eared fencing ripped in 1/2 and pressure treated 2x4 cross beams cut don to the needed height, sanded it all smooth and rounded the edges, still hafta add the spar urethane clear to it (several coats) and it will be done. (that part of the bigger project atleast)

video 1 ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snD_pnj244A

video 2 --->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZdS5pjszBM

heres a pic

See how it dropped down ...I didnt like that.....
BEFORE pic

Yeah the flake that was supposed to come over and look at the glastron for sale, ended up not letting me know he bought another boat sometime during the week. he bought a fishing boat.
ANNOYING! please let someone know if you're NOT coming by...its a commonly overlooked courtesy I have noticed, especially when dealing with craigslist "buyers"

Thanks QC, yea the first time we took our FIRST boat out (glastron) there was a Sleekcraft 23 executive in front of us at the dock unloading, I thought WOW thats a real cool design, kinda outdated woodgrain but way cool boat hull..... we happenstance and we ran across one 1 1/2 years later for cheap ($1100 and talked em down to $950)
needless to say we're VERY excited to get her out on the water, especially once it warms up again! (Lake Mead and the river etc)
We did most of the work you see in 3 weeks. since then its been sitting idle.

BOY that cambell is bad ***** wow real sharp! good all weather boat I bet.....that'd be fun doing havasu fishing guide and tours on that baby. What a dream. I certainly LIKE the bigger boats (30 plus footers) but trailering and economics really start to come into play.

I finally had a chance to read your whole thread and all I can say is that boat is truly PIMP. It should be an awesome party boat. Cant wait to see pics of you guys using it.
