ive always like making build threads for offroad trucks through the years (on other sites) becasue sometimes its fun to have a place to go and look back on stuff...
so here i am with my new to me hallett vector
its rockin twin mercury xr2 150s and im told its the only vector to leave the factory with the idea that itd have twin outboards
i got it in somewhat rough shape mechanically. more on that later
aesthetically its my dream boat. the guy i got it from buffed out the gel, put complete new interior, and did some other work to it to make it look great. he never got it wet though.
it needed a few things to completely look the part though. i have since taken the engines apart and repainted the mounting brackets, lowers and mids and im working on the clam shells right now.
it also has a huge offshore engine mounting box with 26inches of offset. i thought to do away with the whole thing and build my own billet set back bracket but i thought "what the hell, lets see what this things all about" so i just repainted it instead to make it look new.
mechanically. it needs a lot.
the wiring is a disaster, most gauges didnt work.
none of the hydraulic systems worked.
one of the oil tanks for the oil injection system had a broken fitting so when i was compression testing it before buying the whole bilge was just filling up with oil HA. that was fun
so here we are a few months into me owning it and most things are fixed. the engines are ready to be bolted on and the whole thing will get re plumbed in time to enjoy this summer!
here are a few pictures from when i picked it up
