[WTS] Hallett 270 For Sale - Very Sad Day In My Boating Life

[shunter2005]

I have decided to sell my 2001 Hallett 270. MCOB (it's a conversion) with 502 MPI. Motor has 414.4 hrs on it. Many upgrades done in the last few years and not much use due to wife's medical issues and a few of my own. It's not perfect, but then again it's about as original as it gets for a 23 year old boat, except for the upgrades.

I would also like to sell my 2019 GMC 2500 HD Denali Duramax pickup truck as a package deal, if possible. Only 48,600 miles on it and brand new tires. Also has approx. 3 years GM extended warranty left that can be purchased. Has a hideaway gooseneck hitch in the bed, tonneau cover and AMP Research powersteps. It is a great truck and I love driving it, but I really won't need this much truck with nothing to tow. Asking $59,000.

The main reason to sell is I just don't have the time or the desire anymore. It's become work and not fun anymore. Seems like all I do is work on it. I'm getting up in age and it's more of a PITA to take it out, come back and clean it and then put it away than I want or need to deal with. My wife can't do as much as she used to, but unless she is there, I won't handle it alone. Just too much boat for one. JMO...

The upgrades and other stuff I have done to the boat (I'm sure in the coming days, I'll remember other things done) is below with a few pics of the boat and truck.

Great looking boat and truck. Sorry to see that you are considering selling everything. Best to you and the wife navigating this difficult time in your lives

 

[BUDMAN]

Sorry to hear Pat. Shes a real beauty. Should sell quick. I know you’ve put a lot of blood, sweat, & money in it to make it as nice as it is. GLWTS

 

[poncho]

I can totally relate. Few years ago at the end of summer I was winterizing 4 personal boats to prepare for winter and leaving the state for work.
It hit me that I wasn't enjoying what felt like work when I should be enjoying myself. I'm OCD about my toys and every morning I was waking up to the to do list and it was dragging me down.
Ocean boat was the most work and became the least used, kids hit teen years and started finding other interests, ton of work and money for something that wasn't getting used enough.
Miss both boats sometimes but the time I have freed up was more than worth it and I use the last 2 boats way more now, life is just simpler.

 

[GNEnsrud]

The only constant in life is change. I can certainly see how the reality of this bums you out, but I would urge you to embrace the opportunities that come with change.
Good luck with whatever you decide. And best wishes for you and your wife’s health issues.

 

[mash on it]

Part of me says sell it and part of me says, NOOOOOOOOOOO, don't do it.

There's your answer,

NOOOOOOOOOOO.
Pretty strong argument.

Dan'l

 

[Romans9]

When fun becomes work its time to change and go back to fun.

Embrace your place in life and enjoy.

One of the most pathetic displays is when someone tries to deny their phase in life.
Example is when a 50 year old tries to act like a 20 year old.

New Faria depth finder w/air and water temp (to be installed)

Wow! Don’t know what to say except I know a serious candidate for the boat. Hang in there Pat!

Well, if it doesn't sell, I'll install it this winter. I just couldn't pass it up when you offered it up. LOL...

 

[QC22]

LOL...

I didn’t want to laugh, but you started it. LOL

 

[shunter2005]

I didn’t want to laugh, but you started it. LOL

Been debating it for a while, just decided to put it out there.

 

[the510]

I’ve been looking at Hallets a lot lately…..

 

[the510]

Any more detailed photos? Engine, bilge, deck, upholstery? I’ve been thinking about this thing all week…..

Headed up to the boat today to get more pics and surprise it started raining. Went back home and damn if it didn't stop a little later. Should have just kept going. It is supposed to rain the rest of the week. So, I may have to wait until early next week to go up and get more pics. If there is a break and we get some half-ass decent weather, I'll head up there. I have a lot of pics from when I bought it, but they aren't up to date.

 

[the510]

Sounds good!

 

[hallett21]

120 for everything if im reading it right?

 

[shunter2005]

120 for everything if im reading it right?

Boat and truck. $119K.

 

[shunter2005]

Sounds good!

Looking around just now and found a few other pics that might show you some more. These aren't new either, but it will give you an idea. I don't know the actual hrs yet, but I bet I haven't put 50 hrs on it since I bought it.

All I can find right now, but I will get more.

 

[shunter2005]

New pics today.


Actual hours on meter is 414.4 hrs. I've only put 30 hrs on this boat since I bought it.

 

[OC Mike]

Should be obvious but for those who hadn't noticed, this is a straight bottom boat.
Some consider it the Holy Grail of 270's..
Nice looking boat. Reasonably priced, should go quick....

 

[shunter2005]

It's getting close to summertime. Anyone interested in a 270?

 

[02HoWaRd26]

Dang Pat, sad to see you list your baby. Hope all is well health wise with you and your wife.

 

[the510]

I really like the 270. The only thing that scares me is how small the cut out is in the forward portion of the cuddy. Doesn’t allow much space to get into the bow. I feel like it’s a pain in the butt to be honest. This boat is cherry! Cant stop looking at it.

 

[Backlash]

I'm surprised RD hasn't chimed in with this one.

To be honest, the opening isn't all that small. I'm not sure, but I would guess it's the same size as a factory 270 opening. From what I found out at the time, Bill at ARKO was the interior guy for Hallett for many years and had done many over the years. That's why I had him do the conversion. I figured he would do it right. I should have had him install a factory style door on the front end when they did the conversion and all the other things I had them do. It would have cost another $1500 or so, but I had already spent over $10K by then and couldn't justify it. Hindsight!!! It does have a snap on cover that closes the opening off, but I have never used it.

I'm close to 300 and I can get through it ok. However, I rarely go up there. I had it opened up for my wife to sit up there and for the grandkids if they ever wanted to go out with us.

 

[QC22]

I'm surprised RD hasn't chimed in with this one.

He wants closed bow, twins and a beach door. No 270s. 300+.

 

[J.P.]

This boat is really nice and clean have been in it before the owner is anal about everything..

 

[AZLineman]

Very nice float. GLWS and i can totally relate with your mindset these days

I am interested, I previously owned a 2002 270, looking for a 270, where is a airport close to you to fly in from Burbank Ca.?

Houston intercontinental is about 20 min from my house and 50 from the boat at Lake Conroe. If you are flying SW you have to fly into Hobby which is in SE Houston and is about 1/5 hrs from the boat depending on the crappy Houston traffic. Just an FYI - I'm still trying to recover from a recent knee replacement. Have to have a flex manipulation procedure done on Monday. So, hopefully I'll be able to get up to do stuff with the boat in a week or two.

How did I miss this one?
If @Jbbastedo doesnt get this then I’m seriously considering it. This boat is SO clean! Price seams cheap too! So much boat for the money.

 

[shunter2005]

Well, hell boys, I'm now boatless. I'm pretty bumbed today, but there is one guy who is happy as hell. He's dragging his new to him Hallett 270 back to Havasu (where she came from). Here is the happy guy.

 

[shunter2005]

Here is my last views of her. Damn, I miss her already!!!!

 

[QC22]

There you go. Took a while, but they’re even willing to drag them back here. Stay strong brother!

 

[rivermobster]

She shall be missed...
