on of my buds is looking at a 30' sleek with a single 500 in it it has no trim tabs and mid cabin, anyone no anything about a sleek like how it will perform and get out of the water

I am sure there are a couple similar boats on performanceboats.com I used to run with a guy that had a 28' single sleekcraft. Nice boat. They are definitely not the fastest boats on the water, but decent. I am sure that weight with a single will be hard on the drive.

A buddy has a 30' with a 525. It has a mid cabin and Dana trim tabs. Seems to be a decent boat and runs good. I know he's happy with it. I'd rather have twins tho.
