Need to start looking at fuel futures to lock in about 5 to 10k gallons a year, not to mention all the other minor expenses.

I believe this is the T-335 model that I did a helicopter photo shoot for a Hallett brochure some years ago at Lake Elsinore. Husband and wife with a couple of kids had just taken delivery of it. It was a stunningly beautiful package.

I’d wager this gets better mileage then my toon did.. lol dragging three semi circles through the water isn’t efficient on any level.. 😳.

I was on the Tri-toon band wagon last year but there are so many nice 27-29 V-hulls mid-cabins out there its hard to justify it. However how do you justify the money of any boat?

Buy that, cut and buff the hull.. Take it over to Rene at riverside upholstery for a new Schiada interior and you got yourself a hell of a boat on the cheap.

Clean up the rigging as time allows little by little.

Beautiful boat Dave, what are the chances of you bringing it east for KW Worlds in November? I’m pretty certain not many people on the east coast have ever seen a Hallet. ;)

There may be pro charger kit, but no. Buddy up here did it on a dragster and is still working out the bugs. There have been a lot of em,,, Head gaskets have been a major problem. He's o ringed the heads and is using larger studs. Can't remember what else has come up, but the dragster made a couple passes this year and he's back in his 9 second Viper now.

No offense but he is doing something wrong.

Twin turbo vipers make 3000 rwhp when built right

Paxton had a 7-10 psi street setup for vipers for years and a lot of guys made that run fine.

He is in uncharted territory. Makes his own stuff and isn't afraid to try new ideas. Not sure how many manifolds he made before he settled this one? I know he's been leaning on the turbo guys a lot for info. Nobody has put a 14/71 on a V-10 besides him and he's still using the ecu. I scratch my head every time I look at it thinking "why not just put a 540 chevy in it?" He's more in it for a what can I do after retirement project than anything.

His Viper was the Mark Williams test platform for what can be done with a nitrous fed car. Has a Lenco and will get well into the 8's, but will last a couple seasons running mid 9's.
