My thoughts EXACTLY!!! Thank you. To be honest, I was actually pretty tired of moving that big ole Hallett in and out. I think back and realize I probably didn't use it more because it was such a hassle to me to pull it out, launch it, retrieve it, clean it and then put it away. Don't get me...
My first one was the classic Red, White and Blue, but I fell in love with the sand and apricot (orange) many years ago. They only built that color for two or three years.
Normally I wouldn't either, but this guy has done a ton of stuff to this boat and it is super clean and evidently runs pretty good. It's hard to hurt those pleasurecraft marine 351's as they are damn near bulletproof. People get 1500 or more hours on them and they still purr.
Well, now that I am no longer a Hallett owner and getting over the seller regrets, I am thinking about a much smaller boat. I had a '75 MasterCraft back in my younger days when I did a lot of skiing. Now I'm considering an '82 MasterCraft as it's much smaller and easier to handle for old...
No. It is pretty close to pristene (as I remember). It was a spare I had for the Hallett. I don't think I ever got it wet. I can go up this week and bring it home. I do have to find a prop box before I can ship it, but I can stop in at any one of several shops around there. Pics to follow.
Got a text last night from the new owner with a pic of the trailer on jacks at Discount Tire in Tucson. Said he felt a vibration that just kept getting worse as he drove. Found a bad tire so he just replaced all of them for the final leg of the trip. I felt bad, since I had touted how great...
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.
