Yes they were. An extended hood Pete is the only way to travel. I was leased to Monfort from Colorado in the 80's. They didn't call the left lane the "Monfort Lane" for nothing!. We hauled swinging meat. I remember Frostways. I still run a few Petes w 550's and 18's. Gotta go for the fuel mileage now.

Early Sleek Crat Jet, Turned Into An Outboard
I know Bruce Nescher patented the MOD VP bottom, but I'm not sure he was the real designer. Somehow I always thought Phil Percival designed the bottom.
You can see the "HILL" bracket on the back. I designed ths bracket on a napkin for Bob Leach. Bob had Tommy Papp, I think, build the first bracket on a jet boat. Sleek followed suit soon after.
Cool picture!
WOA! Is that boat a TAYLOR????? I thought it was a Sleek.....but now I'm confused.
Nope it's a sleekimage.jpg
WOW! Engine Well, Too!
This was, for sure an "Outboard" Boat. Bruce was quite a guy. I'm not sure anynbe has ever written about all the thing he reall did do. For quite ahile he really was a "HIGH ROLLER" (One of his boat names, I think).
I had two Sleek Craft Mod VP boats, he gave me both of them...And when I blew one over and mesed it up pretty well. He fixed it with charging me a dime. Of course, Ted Bravo bought more than 25 boats from Bruce one year, and Ted was my friend! (Muscle Boats).
Those boat were fun to drive and had great lines.
come on out to the river and give us a race then u can see it hehe
