How do these stack up against Hallet 210s? Hopefully that doesn't derail the thread, and provides a little bumpage.

[BLOWN HOWARD]

To me the hallet 210 doesnt compare to these boats, these boats eat up any rough water you can throw at it and i believe howards are built better than hallets buts thats just my opinion. Hey Bad Axe not going gay but might get a low budget wakeboard boat and pull the trigger on a bullet

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Where are you and/or your boat located? Im still trying to get my buddy into a boat and yours is looking like a REALLY nice option for him.

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

boat is located in parker az, on the arizona side right by bransons

 

[farmo83]

I'm curious how fast it is with the blower ?

 

[Abc123]

very nice boat!

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

I'm curious how fast it is with the blower ?

It runs in the low 80s with light fuel and a few people but it will run 75 all summer through the heat.

 

[AZLineman]

Nice. How many hrs on the motor? internals? Does it get warm w/o an intercooler?

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

Motor has right around 150hrs on it. Being the motor is such a mild built blower motor the blower doesnt create that much heat. never had the engine temp over 160-170. If i end up keeping the boat i will re-doo the interior then i would probably put an intercooler on it and raise the hatch a lil bit soo it all still fits under the hatch. And hey who cant use an extra 80-100 hp from an intercooler

Hello is that craigs old boat?

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

Hello is that craigs old boat?

Yeah the guy i bought it from back in 03-04 was named craig. use to have the numbers 171 on the side. I believe craig crawford if i am not mistaken

I have skied behind that boat in the catalina ski race about 5 years in a row. That boat is rock solid in the rough. I have been in it in some rough water at speed and in never had a creak or rattle. How did the trim plate change affect the ride?

Ah the dana tabs made a huge difference the tabs craig had made worked good but these made all the difference in the world. Tell you what these hulls are rock solid no stress cracks and like you said no rattles. in the real ruff stuff 2-4 drop tabs a bit and lay the throttle down!!!!!!!!!!

I would if it was just me, but it doesnt hold enough people. You got a clean ride though.

Who built the 460 thats in it?

Has the salt water eaten up the trailer?

Any close ups of the interior or side shots of the boat?

THe guy who i bought the boat from built the motor. And there is no rust what so ever on the trailer. i believe when i bought the boat he just bought this trailer new cause i bought it in 03-04 and the trailer is an 02. let me see what i got of side shots. Hopefully heading out to parker the weekend after the 4th. Can take some new pics then of the side

 

[farmo83]

You mentioned getting a new interior in an earlier post. Is it in just faded or does it need to be replaced ?

The seam in the back seat from everybody getting in and out of the boat from the dock has split at the seam. And other than that i mean its original from 1992 soo to me it needs re-done. could you use it for another 2yrs sure.

 

[74 HOWARD 21RC]

Hey blownhoward is this the boat???Nice boat why do you want to trade?

 

[74 HOWARD 21RC]

You dont have to tell me that, thats not the prob the prob is the wife wants a beater wakeboard boat unless that big yellow beast floats i am screwed.

 

[74 HOWARD 21RC]

I believe the tires are big enough to make it float.I have not tried it yet though.I also have the big double roll bar for it somewhere.I can mount that in the back and wala you have a nice wake board boat that you dont have to tow.

 

[farmo83]

What Prop is on the boat and what does the motor redline at?

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

What Prop is on the boat and what does the motor redline at?

Currently i believe it has a bravo 1 24pitch 4 blade and it will spin that right up to 5200 in the middle of summer no prob

 

[AZLineman]

That should turn a 26 no prob. I'd like to get my hands on it, chill it, hyd steering and turn a 28

Tell you what if it doesnt sell here pretty quick the motor is coming out and gonna do a re-rig on the whole boat. i just wish i could dump it for a clean tourney boat. but we will see.

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

Come on nobody has any tourney boats they want to trade or maybe unload this thing for 17.5k

 

[AZLineman]

Bump. You have any full side shots?

 

[BigQ]

What ever happen here?

 

[AZLineman]

????????????????? and I've been watching.

 

[farmo83]

Yeah somebody needs to buy this to save me mental anguish.

 

[Abc123]

did this thing ever sell? this was in my top 5 back when i was looking last summer.

 

[GregG]

Did the boat ever sell? This is the old school 22 degree 220 Offshore hull.

[BLOWN HOWARD]

Nope never sold it and only have used it twice in the last 2yrs. This hull is a complete wave crusher runs right through anything you throw at it.

 

[pronstar]

How fast does this boat run the way it's currently set up/propped?

And how reliable has it been for you?

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

I can honestly say i have only done oil changes and proper maintenance for the last 5yrs and the motor and drive have been trouble free. it will run an honest 80+ all day long best part is the rougher the water the better and faster it runs

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]
