Here's our Halletts
240 Turbo
Vector. It's currently at GT Performance getting a Turbo EFI set up.
19' Sports Skier
I wonder why the strut keeps coming loose in the bottom of the 19 :headscratch:
Here is my 1995 270. The last couple were at Powell in August.
View attachment 235649 View attachment 235650 Found a couple more pics of the the old mans '64. He would kill me if he knew there were pictures of it this dirty. The paint looks "ok", but it is from 1975. The original red metal flake is still underneath. I have some pictures of when the boat sank on the shore in a monsoon at Powell.
Which picture is current? Does the boat still run? Must be pretty cool to look at that boat and remember all the good times. Guess its probably a permanent part of the family!
Here's mine, 1975 Hallett Bubble Deck with a 460 BBF and a Berkeley jet(with Place Diverter). I tore it down and replaced just about everything a few years back, even hard the interior done in the original pattern. Most of the time it see's action on the lower river(Blythe area) but it's got a new home in Parker next year so we'll see how it does.
Well I would say welcome to RDP but you have been here for a while!
How long have you had the Hallett? What prompted the move up tp parker? Did you pick up a place there?
I've been a lurker for a while I guess, seemed like it was about time to jump in.
I've had this boat for about 3 years now and it snow balled into this, just wanted to clean it up and keep it original(dependable). I grew up running the area south of Parker and around Water Wheel, my folks have lived in Havasu for the last ten years and are now moving to the Strip at Miraleste Shores. So I should be spending a bit more time on Parker, just have to figure out the best times to run since I'm one of the smaller guys out there these days.
I would love to get together with some of the Hallett guys in the area and maybe get some history and share a beer or many.
(Don't mind the green glow in this pic, it's just Elsinore TPM 2012)
Bob,
Can't wait to see the Vector with a turbo set up. All your stuff is so bad ass.
It's coming together!
I would say so! Whose pan is that?
Very nice... What drive?
Boats got a 502 / 502 HP carb, MSD, Imco exhaust and SS tubes, Alum heads, some pretty nice parts. Needs some love int he interior and carpet, but for what i paid, Im cool with it. Stole it. (12k)
Has a pretty decent Comp trailer.. needs paing and fenders, brakes rebuilt. I got a bunch of work ahead of me, not to mention trying to finish the flatty at the same time.
Congrats. Nice catch! Where did you find it? Always have my eye out for Vectors.... Classic boat; will certainly give you great times.
1986 Hallett Vector part of the Edelbrock "Fun Team" ski race fleet. One of these days we will put turbos back on it!!!!

Jerry had it at Hallett on consignment. The lady who owned it hasn't run it much since 2007 when she lost her hubby in a car accident. I just finished a freshen up: New rings / hone, different cam, proper distributor gear (melonized), and now the seats are out to be reupholstered.

What kind of cat? What prompted the change?

I got the interior done, new stereo in, carpet, rebuilt the motor (after losing a distributor drive gear), she's all broke in and ready for summer.
