RDP’s new float for 2024!

[Andy B.]

Does that mean you're going to have them detuned now?

Where has 2FF been? I know he moved to Utah I enjoyed his build threads.

I actually called and left him a message today.. I haven’t heard from him in awhile

 

[RiverDave]

F that.. it just means I’m slightly less slower than Tank now.. lol.

 

[Badchoices03]

How do you get as far as owning the boat without knowing what motors were in it? Like isnt that part of the normal conversation? Motor size, hours, etc?

Boy you’d sure think so wouldn’t ya? Ilmors and scx’s was in the conversations.. I just always assumed they were 625’s..

If they hadn’t pulled the little covers off the front of the motors and set them on top of the engines I wouldn’t have ever known.

I went down to check and see how it’s going today and saw the covers sitting on top of the engines and “bonus” came to mind. lol

I saw that ad a couple of weeks ago and thought that would be the perfect boat. Congrats that's going to be fun.

Why is the boat still out back of absolute and not on the water!!!

 

[RiverDave]

Couldn’t find a second set of ilmor header gaskets in town..

[AZmike]

Well Congratulations Dave! You'll be easy to spot this summer.

 

[farmo83]

What is the switch on the seat for ?

 

[FROGMAN524]

Mine has 2 switched on each seat, one is for electric drop out seat bottoms and the other is for air ride.

Dave, what props are on your boat?

[RiverDave]

Not sure I’d guess mid 90’s.. leaning towards “Splitting Tens”.

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

2008 Hallett 335 with 5th gen 710 Ilmor’s / SCX drives.. MCOB.

Dealing with Eric Nixon (previous owner) has been an absolute pleasure and the way a boat deal should be done.

Speaking of Absolute huge thanks to Aaron and crew for getting it in for a last minute pre-buy inspection!

Excellent choice for your intended use.... and glad you opted for OB... I know less experienced fellas on RDP fear the OB in ocean but I learned on a low profile 23' OB out there and this beast will be fine. Don't even bother with a bow cover canvas in my opinion. My 29' Magic Wizard never stuffed or took swells over bow at idle on breaks to Catalina... ever and this things got a higher freeboard I imagine. Enjoy!

I used to split tens. My wife hated when ii did it. Always got the look and head shake.

 

[RiverDave]

Electric drop down bolsters

Congrats! That’s a great name.

 

[QC22]

I used to split tens. My wife hated when ii did it. Always got the look and head shake.

We were at the Casino Friday night. The lady next to me asked if I'd be mad if she split 10s, and I said "do what you want." My wife was at 3rd base, and lost a double due to the split. She's still pissed at me, not the dumb lady

NIce ride, Dave!

 

[4Waters]

I like it

 

[LuauLounge]

I thought you had named it "Splitting Teens". Kids will be there all too quickly.

 

[Tank]

You get it in the water this weekend Dave? All
Went well? Where’s the pics?!

 

[throttle]

So I’m a little embarrassed to say this.. I had assumed they were 625 ilmors..

Was down at absolute earlier and looking in the engine bay, turns out they are 710’s..

RD

Oh Dave geez.

Stainless or aluminum props? Did you look?

 

[4Waters]

I believe he was having trouble finding a header gasket

 

[RiverDave]

I believe he was having trouble finding a header gasket

Boat should be ready tomorrow.

 

[calkid]

or "Twenty Candles". I think "16 Candles" is still in town.

 

[Warlock1]

He should name it " For Sale"

 

[01erionracing]

Congrats @RiverDave! Beautiful boat!

 

[4Waters]

He should name it " For Sale"

I'm surprised it's not sold already

 

[dread Pirate]

I'm surprised it's not sold already

He hasn't put a badass stereo in it yet.

I think he'll keep this one awhile though. He's got some bucket list spots to check off.

 

[RiverDave]

I'm surprised it's not sold already

You guys… lol

Although a 30’with a side door did just pop up..

 

[4Waters]

And the Stars and Stripes as well as the Schiada that popped up on Facebook yesterday

 

[ChrisV]

Can we get a fooking picture of you on the boat already. LFG!

 

[RiverDave]

Can we get a fooking picture of you on the boat already. LFG!

I should get it tomorrow afternoon

 

[chadzilla]

Hard to say with the SCX's, but I'm guessing around 90? Maybe a little more?

RD

It should run well north of 90. Ours has 625's and SCT,s and has seen 94. Damn nice ride there RD! The 335 is the best handling Hallett I've ever driven. Absolutely love it!

 

[Hammer]

Is it possible the 300 mold was used to creat the 335?

What is the overall difference between the 300 and 335? I know the 335 has a step bottom
and the euro swim step.

I’d highly doubt it..

Isn’t that always the case. Whatever you really wanted pops up as soon as you settle on something else.
