Nice post CAA-JBA, love seeing the old girl being enjoTed and taken care of! Thing still looks like brand new!!
Putting some hours on it:) I just replaced the rub rail, gas caps and horn vent, went with stainless. Haven't seen it yet, but imagine it will look pretty nice!

Love that you clearly love it! It was meant to be - I still tell the story of meeting you to anybody that will listen!

It may not be the biggest, fastest, sexiest, or most expensive, but it’s there’s and they can’t wait to get back out on the water! My kids won’t ever forget the times we’ve spent on the water with family and friends!! Priceless!

I had a nautique 196 closed bow like that a few years back, that was by far my favorite boat, it was the one I used the most. Easy to tow, simple to work on, moderately fuel efficient, can be pulled with any half ton truck and fit in any garage, I would buy it back in a heartbeat

I've gone through 3 boats in the last 10 years but can't bring myself to sell this one, when I mention selling it Wife says I will pay the storage thats your baby and it aint going anywhere.

Yep, I tell the story all the time too. The invite to join us on Lake Mead is still open!

Felt a bit bad that I posted pics from last year. So I had to get out on the water this morning to make it right. Thank you for the undersatndaing and not bashing me for my poor judgement. 👍

You’re not feeling to guilty if you only took 1 picture. 🤨



😂
But we’ll take what we can get. Good looking Hallett.

Here is an observation……… I don’t think I saw 1 hardtop in this entire thread.

No radar domes. No vhf antennas. No outriggers.

It looks like the local Bimini top manufacturer has a monopoly! Lol

Its funny how I look at boats differently after moving to Florida.
