Strictly based on what I paid, this doesn’t seem outta line.For 40k there’s someone that will commit….

It’s a toy and I’m an irresponsible man.At what point do we say our boats aren’t worth enough to recover that investment? I’m assuming I’ll boat for maybe a couple more years and that money may only recoup maybe 50%.

I love my boat but I’m also bored of it. Want a new boat feeling. It just looks to “stock” for me. Want to change it up.
Not selling it. New style interior and re powdercoat the trailer for next year.are you thinking of selling your mach 22? or what are you changing?

I thought they were in the middle of moving the shop to AZ. Maybe bad timing with the move.I called DCB 3 months back two times about getting them to redo interior in my boat never even got a call back. Figured I would at least get a call back, even if it was to say we can’t do it.
Travis Barron in LHC can do the floors 100%. Several Hallett owners have used him for this over the past several years. He now rigs for Conquest full-time so you would have to squeeze into his side hustle schedule. I'd bet he could do the subfloor as well.Well, since nobody wants my piece of shit nottaschiadda, I’m gonna redo the interior. What do you think it should cost for all new teak floors, new subflooring, new snap in carpet front and back and new vinyl everywhere?
First quote I got was $30-40,000 estimated. Riverside dude said too big for his shop and nobody else will call me back.
Have you priced out new interior work in the last few months. The prices have jumped up big time over the last few years. If you do all new wood, the prices are even higher. New floors, carpet kit and full interior is an easy 30-40k in todays market.I don’t think this project should cost 40k..
If I remember right wasn’t the interior in your boat pretty nice? Jist the stitching on the rear needed a little love?
It’s pretty clean, but I’m pretty OCD tooI don’t think this project should cost 40k..

You let me know first when you're ready to sell it!It’s a toy and I’m an irresponsible man.

Do you ever feel like you own one of the best boats ever produced by how many people want one?Not selling it. New style interior and re powdercoat the trailer for next year.
Haha yeah. My buddy Erik was saying twin engine two strokes cats are a dying breed. So hold onto it.Do you ever feel like you own one of the best boats ever produced by how many people want one?
I’m assuming you’re raising the height on the backs of the seats? Any other big changes?
Do you have his contact info?Travis just did my floors and carpet. Came out perfect.
Conquest (was Arko?) did some of my interior and was great, on time, and reasonable.
I’m wondering if that rear seating configuration was original. Definitely like the upgraded look with the 3 sections in the back in lieu of the straight bench seat.Haha yeah. My buddy Erik was saying twin engine two strokes cats are a dying breed. So hold onto it.
As for the seats. I just really want the buckets with hard backs. Looks dope to me.

Totally agree.Do that but keep the seat tops low like that or even as low as your seats are today. Too tall of a seat really kills the lines of the boat, especially one with low freeboard like yours.
Totally agree.
It’s going to be exactly like that but with different colors.
and not have it sit out in some dirt lot uncovered for months. im shocked people leave boats at martinez after seeing that place.Pretty sure @FROGMAN524 wants to use his boat next summer.
I may be wrong but it looks as though the new configuration is maybe a few inches higher that what we currently have. I’ve seen a kmg with seat backs coming over the hatch maybe 6 or 7 inches and it looked odd.Do that but keep the seat tops low like that or even as low as your seats are today.

If I keep it long enough, my young family will be an old family. Then it won't be an issue. Can't get rid of it to save my life anyway for anywhere near a decent amount of money.Are you still not happy with the mechanics and design of your boat for your young family?
If you aren’t, you are gonna spend $40k on it and still want to sell it in another couple years.
If you’ve decided that this boat can and will serve your family’s needs, then do it.
Same thing happened to my boat at SCSM in LHC. Will never go back there unless it's a one day deal.and not have it sit out in some dirt lot uncovered for months. im shocked people leave boats at martinez after seeing that place.
Are you changing the style or re wrap?If I keep it long enough, my young family will be an old family. Then it won't be an issue. Can't get rid of it to save my life anyway for anywhere near a decent amount of money.
Basically stay identical to what it has nowAre you changing the style or re wrap?
Sent DMDo you have his contact info?
Thanks, left him a message.Sent DM
I’ll boat for maybe a couple more years

Well I would apologize for not getting back to you... We will and have done many other manufacturer brands with up do's and interiors. Please reach out to me at 602.851.3002. This year has been quite an undertaking with the move for all of us and personal move as well. It is not that we don't want to do it, I probably stayed quiet as I probably could not have given you answer at the time you were asking. We are up and running and kicking ass.I’ll tow it to Montclair or Havasu for $5-15,000 savings. I talked to Tony and the shop, neither had their interior guy get back to me which is fine, I’m sure they’re backed up with 30 builds at $750,000+ each.
Yeah no. That boat works.Put a set of drive spacers in it and it will do everything you want it to do
Drive spacers don’t help load and unloading around the beach or docks. It’s hard on my back trying to lift EZ UPs and loaded coolers over the front when it comes up almost to my chin.Put a set of drive spacers in it and it will do everything you want it to do
No sweat. Looks to be a beautiful facility and I’m glad you’re out of commmiefornia and hopefully voting red here in this purple state. Hopefully one day I can justify the amount of money one of your QC4V models cost but at the moment a $40,000 interior is about all I can do. I’ll give you a call again later.Well I would apologize for not getting back to you... We will and have done many other manufacturer brands with up do's and interiors.

have you considered an entry door like some of the larger Halletts haveDrive spacers don’t help load and unloading around the beach or docks. It’s hard on my back trying to lift EZ UPs and loaded coolers over the front when it comes up almost to my chin.
I have considered it, but that would be part of the interior project because they have to remove one of the benches or cut it in half. I believe Nordic would have the mold and ability to do that but they’re so busy with production they can’t call me back either. One of the many issues with the boutique West Coast powerboat industry is everybody is dead, dieing or retiring.have you considered an entry door like some of the larger Halletts have
Do the same rear seats as well than.Totally agree.

I am. Just more with vinylDo the same rear seats as well than.

Damn look good. Any more shop pics? What’s new coming down the pipe? I think @RiverDave needs to do a write up of the new facility. Looks so nice.Well I would apologize for not getting back to you...

We are planning a big open house (ribbon cutting) for our new facility in January, 2024. I will keep you all updated on a date. We are really excited and proud of what we are doing and where we are. It is nice to be out of California.Damn look good. Any more shop pics? What’s new coming down the pipe? I think @RiverDave needs to do a write up of the new facility. Looks so nice.

I don’t go to havasu unless I have to. That’s my problem.I have found calling never works.
Showing up in-person seems to work best.
Drive spacers don’t help load and unloading around the beach or docks. It’s hard on my back trying to lift EZ UPs and loaded coolers over the front when it comes up almost to my chin.
That too. I have lots of complaints but the main thing is my low back. I’m tall and get tired of lifting heavy shit like giant anchors and coolers to my chin to get them off and on the boat and I get tired of ducking under the mid cabin. Pontoons and decks change all of that.I thought you me main complaint was slow planing times and not being able to tow kids
