1984 Hallett 36ft

[cg2]

Hello, looking to see if anyone can help out with some info on this boat I acquired.. I have called "hallett" now Nordic and they only have records back 6 years. HIN and other photos attached. Measured twice 36ft only thing found online is the 30ft offshore. Thanks in advance

Not a Hallett. Think one of Nick's Barron Boats possibly.

The only thing I know about it is, it's cool!!

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

Acquired might be too fancy a word for what ya done right there.... but I love the lines and the living room styled interior rocks so Dennis Rodman/ Frank Sinatra that thing up proper with silk drapes and make her do what she was designed for... whoever built her. Great lines from a bygone era.

Makes for better aerodynamics

Those were the days, Don Arronow, Reggie Fountain doing real offshore, like where you can’t see shore! Not sure how you “acquired” it, but it’s going to take a ton of work/$ to restore for sure!

What’s cooler the surface drives or the engines with tunnel rams a 2 4’s.

I would contact Jerry Barron @ https://www.barronboats.com/

I did give them a call said it was hallett but his grandfather did build a few special boats. No other info going back that far. Hoping to find some more paperwork.

 

[fat rat]

I love it…too cool! Can’t wait to see the results, keep us informed.

 

[Lumpy]

Talk about a Barn Find! Wow!!!

 

[Desert Whaler]

Time Capsule !!!!
Cool name too !!!!

 

[Buddy]

Can't wait to see what it looks like with all the dust washed off!

 

[Racey]

That ring seating in the cabin with wood is sick.

The bubble deck was definitely decided on after a lot of coke

Reminds me of a scarab/formula from those days but with less entry and the bubble

This is the lounge... he's just messing..... definitely gonna follow your remodel news! Now get ta work

 

[4Waters]

The HIN starts with BAR it looks like Barron Boats

 

[AZLineman]

Kaama drives. Cool.

The old 32s and 34s are in the older Nada Books but not the 36. I have heard about this boat never seen one, too bad Nick's not around. What does your paperwork on the boat say 34 or 36?

How big are the engines?? I see tall decks and dominators. Could be interesting. Cool old piece.

[MK1MOD0]

What a cool boat. please keep the thread going with plenty of pics as ya move the project along

 

[cg2]

Few more pics and was able to locate paperwork for this boat will upload soon

How much do you guys think this thing is worth all put back together?

Odd. Both of my Halletts had/have BAR HINs. Why would this not be considered one? Just curious.

Fiat owns Jeep.

Does that make it a Fiat Cherokee or Fiat Wrangler?

Barron Boats bought Hallett. The first ones even had Hallett by Barron stitched on the rear of the passenger and driver seats. Bud made Hallett starting with the 27 and 34 which he brought with him from Silverwing. 24, 210, 30 followed. Those are the boats that elevated the brand.

Barron Boats bought Hallett.

So you’re saying this 36 footer was built before Barron bought Hallett? Or is it a Barron by Barron? Not arguing, just asking.

Beat me to it

 

[Mcob25rg]

All done, a small percentage of what you’ll have in it, especially if you have to pay $ for ALL the labor, which is going to exceed the parts cost 2 to 1

It is a Barron Boat.

So hard to say if it's worth restoring or go a different direction? As it sits I'm into it 25k.

Can you imagine rolling up to the Hallett regatta in that thing?

ROCKSTAR!

Man, the hardware on that boat. Simply awesome, congrats.

That thing is kinda sexy

If it's been indoors then you shouldn't have any rot, biggest expense will be freshening up the drives and engines. Everything else will probably work including the guages

Yeah no.

As cool as this boat is, one thing is for certain. It is going to take some significant HP to make it perform well.

As a "One of a kind" boat, it's cool as hell. But, it will drain you financially, even if you don't run into any significant structural issues. The money spent on freshening up the motors and chasing down replacement parts for those drives will probably cost more than the boat is worth. But if it's what you've dreamed of since you were a kid, then none of that matters. Run with it and enjoy the process. Just don't keep any receipts.

This is coming from a guy who is upside down in his own slow-ass restoration project....

 

[RiverDave]

I love it personally!! I’d totally Rock that thing!

I’d bet it costs less to restore than everyone thinks. It looks like it’s all there

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

Add a dab of pink and good to go for summer.

 

[Mcob25rg]

You have to bring it back for the love of real offshore, and being the only one still floating, not as an investment- I would because it has the cool factor, and I’m just dumb enough to do it, but it will never be an investment

 

[Happy Smitty]

Perhaps just get it running and clean it. Rub a bit o shine into that barn find and run it.

I like it. I would fix it

Once together setup won't work. Then he will be chasing why with even more money, because its the only one in existence.
