Today at 14% and still draining it On the SLO News:

The Challenger 21 boat for the west coast gang is THE most-splashed design of its time on the east coast. That hull was designed by George Linder and licensed to Shadow, Superboat and Hammond. It was virtually stolen by at least 10 other manufacturers. The finest version available today comes...

Thanks Bob Yes I went down there when he was finishing the plug for the Scarab 27....Still available I'm told. But Eddie is no longer with us. He also refurbed a Spectra 32. I remember the : Stylin' Spectra' article in Hot Boat mag. GAC Great American Concepts...hmm I never put the 2 together! ha!

LA Times had an article front page yesterday. Water rights statewide are being heavily disputed. Water is the new gold. But a bullet train to Fresno seems more important.

Ben Gully's Boat was listed as a 38' GAC. Huh? What is a GAC?

Very Frustrating Live Feed!!! (great idea Bad execution) That did NOT have to go wireless from the boat at the start. Rehearsals always work well wireless....THEN everyone, the crowd, shows up with their wireless devices and signal corruption occurs! It could have been onshore wired on a tower...

My personal Bitch-fest Sorry gang!! Well today we cancelled our Nacimieno vacation 3 weeks from now. They are now dumping an enormous amount of water. Monterey County the Water rights holder is doing this (Yes the lake is in San Luis Obispo County) At 28% today it will turn the lake into a mud...

Way back when it was originally built. It was and is a beautiful boat. It was their first true cat attempt. It just wouldn't run like a cat should. I believe the word got out and no more were sold. Maybe with today's huge power it may safely run? I dont know? There are folks on this forum with...

Saw it at Lake Mead It could not get on plane Probably weighs 12,000.00 lbs!

This is very very sad. To the families my sincere condolences. Extremely fast cat boats....take yet another life. It doesn't seem to matter the manufacturer either. You have to wonder what can be done to make it safer. You lose a drive and barrel roll = HTM Castaic Lake. You Blow over = Outer...

I've spent many enjoyable weeks up there in the Oaks Shore rental homes, the private property on the Cal Shasta north shore and the Lodges at the main ramp area. Its my family's favorite place to boat, hike, vacation etc... But there is something else going on here. Yes there are more folks...

The first 34 I saw at Lake Mead was a Silverwing being launched by Bud Bailey himself. The first one was NOT a Hallett. That came later as he became employed by Hallett.

Why is Lake Mead closed???????

My 24 yo son likes to wakeboard......and fish! Every weekend when not on our boat he's out with his buddies in the Pacific fishing on someone's Boston Whaler or a CC or dedicated fishing boats....He does not even comprehend the attraction to so-called go-fast custom boats....Ha where did I go...

The 54': Maybe that's why the Weismann drives did not work also? The went to Arnesons I believe. That boat should plane. Overbuilt? Too heavy? As a naval architect, didn't MPYD have some calcs that ensured a level of performance?

<<< On a side note since Archer marine is rigging the RPM’s that also give Joe access to the infamous 26 Larry Smith Scarab! If you want to talk about a fun hot rod that you can smash around in big water this is it! They flat haul ass too.. I’m going off memory here because it’s been years...

So you guys are saying: Shirley sells the Hallett name and Hallett boats to Nordic. Jerry an employee starts a new version of Barron Boats with Barron-owned molds....or new ones? Add the Vector to the Bud Bailey 27, 20, 32, 34 and deck boats....and you can now do business. If Jimmy is still...

Hallett It was sad to not see any of the Barron family there Saturday afternoon. Time moves on. I thought the 40 was to also get the V2D Michael Peter's hull bottom. As it was, this trailer did not fit the boat. There was at least an exposed inch from the bottom of the boat to the trailer at the...

I wonder what the real selling price was. ( 300k+-ish on the forums ?) Considering that the cost of a new Hallett is not trivial, the numbers bandied about here are very low. For the family to cash-out after saying they wouldn't upon Nick's death it had to be a considerable amount. And yes it's...

Looks like the Outer Limits SV29 bottom. Older #6 drive style and Weismann dry sump I suspect. They should pull a mold off the new deck because this is a terrific boat!! Even the hard top looks great! It shouldn't be a one-off! As it sits it should be in the Eliminator arsenal. Well done...
