New Hallett 255

[240Hallett]

Moving right along. Third battery on the other side?

 

[HallettBill]

Good question. Jerry wasn't there when I stopped by, I'm leaving Miami now for Madrid so I won't know until thursday

 

[HallettBill]

Engine is back out so the mounts can go to powdercoat, they've started on the seats, underwater lights installed.

 

[BUDMAN]

Looking good Bill. I like the cup holder in the seat.

Saw your boat yesterday at hallett and they were working on the interior. Boat is coming out really nice. The fit and finish on your boat is over the top.

It will look even better with a frosty one in it

A frosty Budlight.

 

[HallettBill]

A frosty Budlight.

It's all good

 

[Backlash]

not discounting your skill and experience AT ALL. the stuff you guys do amazes me. i think you did start a thread on here and im pretty sure i was reading chinese.

Mandarin or Cantonese??

 

[HallettBill]

Teak is going in the bow, instrument panel complete, interior progressing,

Looking awesome Bill[emoji106]

 

[240Hallett]

What?!? No drink holders in the back seat?? That's not gonna work...

 

[rivergames]

Phenomenal work Hallett is pulling off:thumbsup

 

[HallettBill]

It was going to be a surprise for 240 Hallett but I went with a different type of cup holder . I thought you might like these in the back seat.

[28Eliminator]

I had similar beer holders a couple years ago [emoji12]

 

[240Hallett]

Boats, boobs, beers ... that works!

 

[HallettBill]

Engine's back in, electric's hooked up, interior is getting there, just waiting on the cup holders

 

[LakeMead Boater]

Any updates?

 

[DSMITH]

I really like the clean look of these recent interiors. I might have to bring the 300 in for an interior update !

 

[throttle]

very nice build :thumbsup

 

[HallettBill]

Almost done, should be able to pick it up next week.

 

[28Eliminator]

Looks awesome Bill[emoji106]. Hallet builds a beautiful boat.

 

[LakeMead Boater]

Looks great!!!

 

[240Hallett]

That's badass Bill. The grays look bitchen!

 

[HallettBill]

Thanks guys, can't wait to get it to Havasu.

 

[BUDMAN]

Looks awesome bill. Love the blue and grey color on it.

 

[Gelcoater]

I really like how the boat has come together,you optioned it out great:thumbsup
Interior looks so clean and sharp:thumbsup:thumbsup

 

[ka0tyk]

why is it that every "swoosh" in the boat is the blue/grey with the exception of this one in the front...

 

[HallettBill]

All the interior color is like that with the exception of the engine cover

 

[ka0tyk]

yeah thats my point. everywhere with the swoosh in the upholstery is color. with the exception of that front cushion. my OCD would kick in all over that...

beautiful boat of course. is it normal to drop in during a build and drool all over it? is it good to drop in and check out how things are going to keep the ball rolling, or has it been beneficial when things dont look right or little things you want to tweak?

 

[HallettBill]

Now I see what your talking about. We keep that front cushion covered with a towel as that is the spot that seems to get the most wear from getting in and out on the beach and launch ramp. I never even considered adding color there.

It's my third Hallett and they don't seem to mind me stopping by, it's on my way to work. And I like that I can give them answers to option questions in person instead of e-mail. I'm sure the guys doing the rigging would do a great job even if I wasn't stopping by every week.

They have been great to work with, from Gelcoater in the beginning to the guys in the shop towards the end.

[boatnam2]

Sick build congrats! Great work as always Gelcoater.

 

[Hallett1974]

Bad ass Hallett.

 

[Gelcoater]

Hey where is HallettBill?
We need some update shots.

 

[HallettBill]

I've had the boat in the water 3 times now. 7.5 hours. Got my first ding in the gel at the raft up,
more solid ride than my 06, I think from the vacuum baging.the 520 is great so far, I really like the swim step and I think the grey gel looks great on the water.

 

[Runs2rch]

Nice! With only 7.5 hrs you are still in the be nice on the stick break in stage!

Looks really good man! Congratulations! A friend of a friend has a 25 with a 500 efi. It ran high 70's at Mead. You should break into the low 80's.
