Awesome Kachina.... I have a 2004 Force 26 w/496HO - LOVE IT. Would definitely kick up to the 30' with the 525 if I was to do it all over again. I'm sold on their value and quality. Congrats on your new ride!

Thanks FilmWritin! It is a nice ride... Now we just need some decent weather!

Hey INDIANSPRINGS, I have a 30' Heritage like you were asking about in earlier posts. I just got registered and don't have full access yet, so I couldn't PM you or email you. If you are still looking, I researched for about 2 solid years before buying and I just got mine in January. I know of a few other Sleeks that are for sale. Let me know if I can help.

[Beer-30]

Nice rig Holland! Kachina is one of my favorites. If one had been available (used) that was near what this Sleek is, I would have hooked it.
By the way, any of you going to be at Lake Mojave around May 27,28,29,30?

[dicudmore]

looks great Holland :D
cya at the lake :D

[Indiansprings]

Beer-30, You got PM... Last week I went and bought myself a Sleek 30'. I have had it out three times already. I love this boat. I wish I new how to post pics.

Unfortunately no... Going to be in Mead from june 4 to june 11th or whenever... I am going to try to get to Mojave june 4 to hook up with alot of other people... but we shall see... What is happening in May there...

[Beer-30]

Indian, they still haven't set me up to access all of that (does it take awhile?) I can't post an avatar of the boat or anything. Tried to go to PM and it would let me. I will message ***boat.
Did you buy new? If not, which one? I pretty much knew of all that were for sale. There was even one (and probably the only one) in Colorado with twin 502s!!! I looked at the red '99 that Sleek/Magic had (has) there in Havasu. Had a 500HP.
HOLLAND, those numbers in May just ended up being when all of my crew could get days off w/me, the wife included. Plus, one of the couples going has a Malibu tournament boat that we always took on trips out there and to the Zoo. Just got beat up and ended up down at 10-15 mph in 12" chop! We always avoided Holidays, due to water. But now that I have a "roughwater" boat, we wanted to hit a few holiday weekends. Plus, it is one extra day that my wife doesn't have to spend vacation. And yes, we have been at Katherines during busy weekend.

[Indiansprings]

I got a 2001 from the trader. 500EFI. I will forward some pics to Holland and he will post them for me.

Beer - 30... Sounds good. maybe I can make a trip. I will have to check the schedule and let you know... But heading out the next week for a full week... that's pretty cool!!!! I will get a full seans hours of boating in just a two week period... and it is only the beginning of summer.!!!
Indiansprings... Mike, send them as attachments instead of pasted on the email.

[Beer-30]

Feel like trying to make it to Lake Mojave on the previously mentioned dates? Plan on going for at least one dam (not damn) run, and just see more of the lake that we couldn't before.
We actually plan on leaving for home on the 30th, so no lake on that day unless we are having too much fun and decide to stay one more.
I actually picked it up near you and stayed in Goodyear that night before heading home. Tested it on Pleasant.

[Indiansprings]

Beer-30 Tell me about your boat. What year ?? all the good stuff. send me a picture.

[Beer-30]

Off to work right now. Will tell you all about it later. Want to know about yours. The only 500 powered one when I was looking was a 99 at Sleek that had been abused. I'm crazy about mine. Based on some of the responses you got when looking, we Heritage owners need to stick together!
I'll get back to you later. Can't post pics or email through the board right now. Waiting on access. Stingy.
Later.

[Indiansprings]

I am headed to work now to.

INDINANSPRINGS:
Well, I still can't post a pic but here goes.
2001 with an HO and Bravo-1 (not X). It has two red strips running along the side with the white rub-rail between them. At the back, they turn into the large checker-board design and wraps around the swim step. Mid-cuddy/open, snap-in carpet (grey), Gaffrig II gauges with red bezels, moderate stereo. No trim tabs or steering.
A kid that worked (or maybe still works) at Sleek/Magic in Phoenix built the boat. I believe he had it for a year or so and sold it to the guy I bought it from in Scottsdale. He had it for the remainder of the time. 165 hours when I bought it in Jan.
Its on a beautiful ZIEMAN trailer with chrome alloys and stainless fenders. Disc brakes as well. Changing it over to LEDs next month.
I am amidst fixing the rear seat bases. The previous owner obviously did not flip the seats up after long days of wet use. The wood got soft and the screws have pulled out from those nifty hinges. Just yesterday, I took one of the bases to a good uph shop here in town and he knew just what to do. They are going to cut new boards and then fiberglass them. He also has some cool "T-nuts" that are a threaded metal insert that locks into wood. It shouldn't happen again after that.

[Indiansprings]

Sounds like a nice boat. Holland posted a few pics of my boat down on the page. Mine is a 01 as well. We got lucky and got Zeiman trailers. I think they build a nice trailer. Let me know when you are going to take it out.
