The original plug was crushed by Nick at Hallett. A magazine and some online pics showed it being towed to a wrecking yard. Somebody has that mold. Jerry at Barron or Nordic?

Hey Brent, What ever happened to Bud Bailey the other Spectra, Silverwing, Hallett designer/builder?

That is a wild looking hull bottom. And it looks like you get the advantages of a V-Bottom and a Cat! How cool is that?!

13% full as of yesterday. Thank Monterey County for this. They will drain it dry. It WAS a great lake!

Great Video. If I could ask, how do you get the real-time GPS data on the video AND the progress graphic up or-down-the-river so to speak?? Special editing software?? etc? Thanks!

I remember seeing some race boats dispense with the cone clutch altogether for outdrive longevity! On my old Volvo outdrive, I broke the shift cable. On vacation with no service facilities nearby, I manually put it in Drive FWD and took the keys with me each time we stopped! Yes you could not...

Well that didn't take long at all. Thanks 4Waters !!!!!

I had seen a gal from Riverside I believe on West Coast Customs. She made a custom dome and windshield for a car or van. She had also done polycarbonate and acrylic windshields for DCB, SKater, Eliminator in the past. For the life of me I cannot remember her nor her company's name. Any help...

Just saw it on Amazon Prime. You had to know right out of the gate that this would be bad. The small boat running around was a version of the Donzi Sweet 16.....Which came much later. Then referencing twin engines with only 2 tailpipes? Comanche Powerboats a reference to Apache Poweroats. Ben...

This boat was featured in a magazine article....HotBoat I believe. The late Eddie Morenz did the total refurb and windshield cowling.

Remember, The 22 Howard is a 24 Schiada bottom, shared with the Vaughn along with a Solution model also. A real rough water boat. The Hallett 21 is a Bud Bailey original design. The Hallett is a faster boat. The Howard will cut through the rough stuff all day long.

Oh and my wake boarding son loves to fish. And he said I bet the 25/30' deep V fishing boat would make a great "big wake" wake boat. Even with Outboards! Hmm...?

Many here have seen the boating scene change on the left coast. As an addict of Powerboat and Hotboat mags the custom West Coast boat was the real deal. So I had an SKV built for me at Hallett. I could fix it, hot rod it and afford nice trips to Mead, Naci, Havasu, Parker, Big Bear, Powell etc...

This George Linder designed hull comes from the often splashed "Challenger" molds (As seen for years running in the Catalina Ski Race) The windshield deck mold seems to come from the Image Shadow or Stallion versions. Superboats has one, Hammond and Stealth had one, Apache has one. And probably...

I don't ever remember a 240 style raised keel pad on a Vector. Usually no pad or a delta pad insert. That is a mod to the original straight V design. I wonder when that happened?
