Nordic Buys Hallett!!

[the510]

Deal is done! Don't have all the details yet but Thane and Travis Barron are driving out there right now. Hallett is moving to LHC! Not sure if they will keep the iconic name or put it under the Nordic Brand yet.

Randy (class act) also offered all the current employees a job.

RD

wow! that's super cool that he offered everyone jobs. I hope they incorporate the Hallet name somehow, but I have no doubt that Nordic with keep the quality that Hallets are known for. In fact they may make some small improvements to bring them up to date.

View attachment 585768 I think I would rather have a Hallett than a Magic. . . just saying

Exactly...I think all these boats that are said to be "updated"...what brands are we talking about? Hallett's lines stand the test of time....Hallett 19's, 21 Vector's and even your boat.

Where are all these brands with updated styling that stand the test of time? DCB? heck my mach was outdated when the F's came out and the F's outdated when the M's came out....Skater's the same way. Eliminator's same...no canopy to canopy to wrap around... Even Gel's....they were more conservative the Barron's bitched to customers about doing tribal but relented and did some...where are all those timeless tribal boats now...dated. I would take late 90's 210 or 270 over any other V of similar build made in the last 5 years...Cobra, Essex, Shockwave, ect...

Hope Nordic values the good things about Hallett's and continues that....they can update all the Nordic's they want.

Who said anything about Magic? If you don't think Hallet's offerings are outdated (Teak Floor/Boring Graphics), then you are incredible blinded by your brand bias. Hallet guys are becoming almost as bad as Schiada owners.

YOUR opinion . . . Go build whatever YOU like

The price for 240's just went up... Again.

I will prob be banned from RDP now...

shintoooo get on it !!! LoL

Not even.
Thane is smart.
He'll either find one to splash or tool a new one. Or both, lol.

 

[ArizonaKevin]

What do you guys think Nordic will update? I find it interesting that Nordic has recently built its reputation on all composite builds with no wood and Hallett's trademark is Teak floors. I think the best option that they have would be to update the construction that people don't see and make that similar to how other Nordics are constructed but keep the teak flooring as a homage to the history of the hallett brand.

 

[Gelcoater]

shintoooo get on it !!! LoL

You should be receiving yours in 3....2....1

 

[steak&lobster]

For the record, I never intended to insult Hallet owners. I am looking forward to seeing Nordic put a more modern touch on them.

uh huh

Sounds good on paper. I bet they are a couple miles per hour faster the way you describe but won't ride as nice.

For sale threads will start with "Original Hallett built" then add antique at the end. This add another 15% to the sale price.

that is so lame, boring, and dated!!! LoL

 

[Dirtbag]

I would imagine the Hallet lineup would simply replace the Nordic V Bottoms? Nordic V bottom lines arent very appealing to my eye. This opens up a whole new deal for Nordic. I dont see why they would continue to use the Hallet name at all. Nordic is iconic as well. It sucks to lose the Hallet name but I dont see any reason Nordic would co brand anything.

And i mean no disrespect at all to the Hallet name. They make an unbelievable boat. My buddy had a 300 and it was the first powerboat i ever road in. Alwasy left me in awe. Just think now all the Hallet owners get to be serviced by Nordic? talk about a win win. That is if you are havasu people.

Oh hell no! Now it is my turn to be butt hurt! What the hell is wrong with my lines?????????????????????????????????????????

This will be dated in a few years.........for sure.....

Your lynching will start in 3...2...1...

You are talking Tatoos, Baby Names, etc.

 

[hallett21]

Cant wait to see what molds they do have.

240, original 400 deck, I know they still have the vector.

Also will be cool to see what new stuff Nordic/Hallett bring to the table.

 

[the510]

Granted it took a while to get it running. But they did a "wild" gel coat View attachment 585776 View attachment 585777

wow that looks pretty sweet!

I shouldn't thank you, because you called my home the Armpit of Hell.



BTW, You keep gelling beautiful boats, and I'll live in Paradise.

A Nordic built Vector would be awesome.

 

[Our boat...]

They definitely still have the Vector mold... should be interesting to see if Nordic will turn some out .

The ban will never stick unless you add another 't" to Hallett

BNAG!

Dave should give him a night in the box for such an offense!

Hallett has done a few with outboards but Nordic truly can rig an outboard. 300 optimax already works, be interesting if a heavy 400 off the back would run well.

Hopefully the new Halletts will be updated with ;
10 giant speedos or vv7's
full suede and faux ostrich interiors
logo name branding in at least 50 different places
black socks starter kit

You wanna know how you spell Hallett as of today? NORDIC that's how!!

I agree with this 100%

x2 Long overdue.

Lol we'll see how all these "modern" up to date graphics look 10, 15, 20 years down the road. Lots of Halletts, and Schiadas that look just as visually appealing today as they did 2 decades ago when they came out of the molds, because of one thing, they have clean, simple lines.

Cant say the same thing about the majority of boats from the first 10 years of the 2000's that tried to reinvent the wheel with fancy graphics fads.


But hey, to each his own.

[Hallett Dave]

Outside of DCB can't think of a boat line that has a better reputation than Hallett.
That Hallett Dave drinks Keystone lights shouldn't effect it either.

That made me laugh Ross.

I have only drank Keystone Light when I run out of Coors Light and someone offered me a Keystone Light. :eek

I hope you and the family are doing good.

That doesn't look like Havasu

 

[ToMorrow44]

I would personally consider the Hallett line to be Nordics "Premium" line of boats. I hope they keep the simple lines, timeless graphics, and solid construction of the Halletts. It will be interesting to see and wish them luck, always liked Halletts

 

[707dog]

sooo do i raise the price of my 240???? tho its is a rare, unique, antique, classic, custom, west coast v-bottom

 

[Abc123]

Nector :thumbsup

Baddest Mofo!!!

 

[t&y]

Have always like both lines. The Bullet is on my bucket list. I WILL own a 28' one day.

 

[wildone]

A Lot of Randy's Friends Jumped ship from Hallet to Nordic we he bought them... I wonder How many will be going back once they are up and running out of Havasu?
