    Hey clank I'll be down in Temecula on the 5th picking up that second hallett. You going to be around, if I could swing by and try to get a game plan on where I need to put everything in the boat that would be sweet.

    Hey buddy, what is the hardware called where the propshaft goes through the bottom of the boat. Not the strut or the v drive but the part in-between those. And do you know where I can get them? Thank you

    I have it all set up to get the same hallet I have but with no running gear so I'll probably leave mine how it is and then build the second one correctly. Now I just need to find out what correctly is lol.

    I'll check my other v drive boxes and see if they are 10s or 8s. How shallow of an angle would you recommend. And how much farther forward should the strut be?

    @Clank123 I really like these old halletts. I'm fat and have fat friends and I like that we can walk on the bow. I'm down to do the work. Is there dis advantages of running a shallow strut angle? And I'm concerned about plugging the old holes and they being structurally sounds. I beat is up a lot.

    It's one of these (pic with no bearing cap) but i also have this style laying around (pic with the bearing caps). It has a mid plate on mine I believe. I'll get some pics for you. Do you know what style casale is better?

    I'll be home this weekend I'll take some measurements for you. Boats in ventura so not to far from you. I wouldn't be against to towing in down one weekend. The casale is the one with the fat bottom, not the pill shaped one but I have a pill shaped one in the shead if that's better.

    Well thank you sir, you've been helpful as I know very little about v drive set up besides putting a big motor in them!

    I have a 67 v hull hallet with a blown 427 in it and it's all stock location and it doesn't porpoise much at all if any

    It's all glass. Is there a way to move it forward with out having to reglass the old holes and make new ones. Worried if I do that the old ones might crack and stuff. I got a lenco 2 speed I wanna put in it but there isn't much room

    Basically right under the cross brace behind the seat. The drive shaft is really short

    20 might been an over exaggeration but is more than a foot for sure

    It's got a steel 2 blade. The motor has also been moved forward like 20 inches or so it seems and the case is all braced and stuff. It seems like some one was circle track racing it or something because the cav plate has little corner skags.

    Can you change the strut location with out basically re classing the bottom of the boat?

    I have a set of up down pedals I'll be putting in. It just seems like I need it more tuned in before I can dance it. It hops enough to get the prop out almost.
