Holy Grail Acquired! 2FF - 270

[Bigbore500r]

You sir are one bad ass mother f*cker [emoji106]

 

[ductape1000]

So the big question is...

Do they both fit in the garage?

 

[Rajobigguy]

Congrats Dave. That is one of my all time favorite boats. If I had the scratch, i'd have one.:thumbsup

 

[HALLETT BOY]

And I though the Dance community was incestuous ...

 

[RCDave]

Congratulations Dave and family!!!

Are you gonna name it?

"Big Johnson" lol

 

[Abc123]

I'll be looking for my free shirt in the mail for posting the sale add

XL please.


Congrats and welcome to the Hallett family.

Don't hold your breath. I was supposed to get one 5 years ago.

 

[454Rocket]

Wow nice!

 

[Joker]

Congratulations Dave and family!!!

Are you gonna name it?

"Big Johnson" lol

"Stool Pusher"

 

[GRADS]

Can't wait for the craigslist ad when 2FF finds out its RD that owns it. :lmao

 

[Boat Bling]

Congrats to the Johnson fam! I'm sure you guys will love it.

I've met a lot of boat dealers and brokers over the past few years and they are definitely not built equally. Preston and the Horizon crew are absolutely top notch. Shameless plug-stop reading here if this offends lol-but they include free Boat Bling product with every delivery. Even though they don't sell any product retail (sold in same building under Quality Marine) Horizon is still in the top 5-10% of dealers by volume.

[GRADS]

Oh and congrats Dave it looks like a really nice boat that would do well in Tahoe. Not sure I've ever seen a 27' twin engine V-hull before.

 

[RiverDave]

Very nice Dave...did you have to parts ways with anything boat wise?

This is the engagement phase.. I'm not married to it yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be married to it tomorrow after we run it!

Nice! I wana know the details how the handling issues go and such.

I have a few things I'm gonna try. First thing is to go run it and see what's actually happening.

I have no problems with Steve for the 100th time! Lol

What about him with you?

Did he know it was you making the purchase?

His entire meltdown was pretty entertaining...so I have to ask.

That I don't know to be honest. I don't think Steve gives a shit though. He doesn't get emotionally attached to boats and cars. He had a number, Preston paid the number and that's all that maters.

So the big question is...

Do they both fit in the garage?

Don't hold your breath. I was supposed to get one 5 years ago.

They will here shortly! Just have to ditch some couches and some home gym equipment that is collecting dust. Lol.

 

[Frankenmax]

Sweet ride! I swear I saw that boat yesterday south of Boulder City on 95 being pulled by a camper.

 

[RiverDave]

You probably did.

 

[aka619er]

I don't mean to be "that guy", but every time I was on FB he was asking about problems he was having with the boat. Knowing Steve he will stand behind what he sells, but did he get all the quorks figured out?

 

[Flying_Lavey]

gym equipment that is collecting dust. Lol.

I don't even think the dust part needs mentioning. Lol!!

TANK YOU PRESTON AT HORIZON MOTORSPORTS!!

I can tell you guys there are two people that have done shit for me in the Marine Industry that I owe for life. One is Lee at Schiada, for getting the 21 ready in a monster hurry for a family trip when we found out my mom had cancer.

The other is Preston at Horizon. This guy made my pontoon transaction so painless and so easy going.. Then today... Just unbelievable how far he has gone out of his way for my family.

I honestly can't recommend him enough!

Congrats on the new ride Dave, should make you a great boat, looked at the 27 halletts a few years back fine boat, and as I said always liked the Halletts first flat was a Hallett 18 with a 396, good times, I think youl be a happy camper:thumbsup

 

[Runs2rch]

If the spacers are on it remove them and you will be good to go. That boat never had any real issues. Steve's head has issues.

 

[MooreMoney]

Spy photo I took from barrett when I was there today. Congrats on the new boat and nice meeting you again.

 

[yz450mm]

Congratulations Dave and family!!!

[RiverDave]

If he spent that much time screwing with it we are gonna at least see how it runs now..

But yes part of the plan is to remove the spacers, try some props, try rotations, etc..

 

[Tamalewagon]

Congratulations Commodore :thumbsup

 

[RVR SWPR]

There are times in life a certain question comes into play,not often,but it happens. " If not now,when" ?
Well Done RD.:thumbsup

 

[Raffit78]

Congrats Dave,

How'd she run?

 

[HTMike]

Awesome Hallet.

 

[RiverDave]

Congrats Dave,

How'd she run?

Going to run it tomorrow..

 

["NOEXCUSES"]

Congratulations.

 

[Bowtiepower00]

RD, can't wait to see the build thread. LOVE the Scorpions, my favorite marine motor... Perfect west coast boat, just needs an open bow...

 

[Jmp]

Bad ass! You are going to love twins, so much more maneuverable than a single I/o

 

[SummitKarl]

I damn near wet my pants this afternoon when I was checking out the boat heard about the deal, then out of the blue Dave's daughter says, "There's allot of bad ideas on this boat Daddy" :lmao OH MY GOD...FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES!!!!!!
Dave got a instant ear to ear grin and was tiring not to crap myself from laughing ..... absolutely priceless:thumbsup

 

[Music to my Ears]

Congrats to you and your family Dave!

 

[RodnJen]

Beautiful boat, lifetime of family fun for the Johnson family.:thumbup:

 

[spectras only]

Congrats to you Dave. :thumbsup We have a thing in common, twin mercs and small blocks:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup
You may want to change rotation spinning outwards for better maneuvering at the dock. It will literally spin the boat around its axis. It looks like your boat was setup originally like it as the drive shower pickup location indicates it. I tried mine turning inwards and it seemed to get on plane a little more difficult. turning inwards settled my hull deeper though for less chine walking but going back outwards rotation just required a notch down on the tabs without loosing speed. I'm sure your boat like mine will love running better in rougher water.

 

[BasilHayden]

Congrats Dave,

Great boat and love the quip from Sierra.

 

[NicPaus]

Props were spinning out before Steve got a hold of it. Does it still have the auxiliary fuel tank? Perfect Powell setup.


Done it again I posted about it and Steve scooped it up. Recall mentioning Dave could have 3 Scorpions as well.

 

[teded]

So, how much

 

[dezrtracer]

Congrats Dave & Stacy !!! I was just getting used to seeing you guys in the toon :grumble: ... Got to say that is one Bad Mofo even if it's not a Schiada :eek ...

See ya on the water
Lyn

 

[wsuwrhr]

So the big question is...

Do they both fit in the garage?

Have you seen that garage? Prolly get all three and the UTV hooked to one in there!

 

[DLC]

I don't think that BBQ will fit on the back of that boat!

Just saying


Congratulations on the new boat!

 

[rrrr]

.

Eh, a boat is a boat is a boat.

What caught my eye was those beautiful kiddos smiling and having fun. I don't think I've ever seen a photo of them all together.

You and Stacy are blessed.

 

[fishing fool]

Going to run it tomorrow..

What time do you want me over??? [emoji41]

 

[ductape1000]

Have you seen that garage? Prolly get all three and the UTV hooked to one in there!

The toon would have taken the whole garage, hence it sat outside... [emoji41]

 

[Raffit78]

I want to know why this is the Holy Grail. I know 0 about these boats. Is it the hull shape? The motors? Is it the interior? Is it that they don't make this anymore, or if they do its three times the price?

 

[Devious_Chris]

Congrats!!! Let's go boating!!

 

[rrrr]

I want to know why this is the Holy Grail.

I think that had something to do with the previous owner and his OCD affliction.

 

[Raffit78]

I think that had something to do with the previous owner and his OCD affliction.

You know, I never met Steve but man that dude would really REALLY go all out when he flipped things!

First I saw was a house he built ground up in Havi. With a mural on the wall that made me think, like man, not necessary at all, but hey to each is own. Then the many motorhomes. Shoot I still think about that damn Alpine coach a year later when he made that thread.

I was never in the market, but with the dang upgrades. I was telling my wife, "Honey, we need a motorhome in our life! Especially a 2003/2004 Alpine!!!

 

[Havasu Surfer]

Sweet ride bro. Can't wait to see it run. What do you expect it put up with those props? I will be looking out for it. Njoy

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Congrats on the new boat, RD... Since you have given Grads a handful of pardons maybe you can give 2FF 2.... Just buy him a tire already..Hope you get this thing to handle..

 

[Flying_Lavey]

You know, that won't be too fun to tow over to the next Naci Bash with that little F-150 btw.... lol!

 

[RiverDave]

You know, that won't be too fun to tow over to the next Naci Bash with that little F-150 btw.... lol!

Maybe a 34? The 27 is fine behind a half ton.. towed it around today and was no worries.

It's stashed in Andy01's RV garage until I can clean mine out of these three couches and the Bowflex to make room for it.
