Detail Dan....Wow

[HgH Vltg]

Well, Dan has a customer for life. The results he pulled from this boat is insane. The old man just picked it up about 30mins ago, and his words were...”it looks brand new!”

Thanks to Dan, he probably spent long hours to get this turned around for us.

Can't say I have ever seen that hull before! Sharp looking boat! How does it run with the 200's?

Text updates, he worked with the schedule, it really was an amazing experience. Highly recommended. He’s getting a recommendation to a buddy right now.

Reliable. Half tank, trimmed right, previous owner saw 71. It’s not a speed demon, but I think it’ll take the 3 o’clock chop quite well.

1986 K&K Ghost 28’. I think around 12 built, less than 10 still around. Built by the Kalibat Brothers in Long Island. Race boat was pretty successful back in the day, apba world champs 82, 84, 85 and national champs in 83.

Is there a useable cabin?

How the hell did you get your hands on a Ghost 28? That is one rare piece and it looks incredible after the detail.

Patience and some luck. We actually bought it from the Kalibat’s. Jeff’s son Kris owned the boat. So the situation could not have been better.

Ok,New here. Detail Dan? Info please

Badass boat. Let me know when you're tired of it lol. Seriously that is a special boat.

 

[LazyLavey]

Almost forgot about poor Dan

 

[HgH Vltg]

What a horrible advertisement thread, I forget to post dans info. Thanks LBZ.

 

[SHEP]

I passed this boat, twice actually as we stopped to eat, on the way in to Havasu last night. Looks like an awesome boat.

For you guys that don't know,, Dan was the exclusive detailer for Hallett. He moved recently, and is now in Ontario. I have yet to make it out to his new shop!

He also does boat storage and annual maintenance work.

I've known him for years. Great guy. And his work is amazing.

:thumbup:

What does Dan charge per foot for a full detail?

I'm not going to say he doesn't work that way, I've just never seen him quote a job that way.

I've sent a Lot of work his way, and he wants to see the victim first, before he gives out a quote.

@Tamalewagon wanted to sell his boat. He had Dan detail it (it was Nasty and covered in mold). It looked so good when he got it back, he ended up keeping the thing! LoL

Wasn't cheap. But well worth it to Scott and his family.

If you're looking for the best price, it's best to look elsewhere. If you're looking for the best possible outcome, Dan is The guy to use. Nobody does it better.

“He wants to see the victim first.” Haha that’s so true, he’ll give you a ballpark, but like Dan said to me, most people don’t think their boats NEED much. But, give him the power to do what he thinks is necessary, and I’m quite confident after my experience, everyone will be blown away with his results.

Price wise, what we paid, I think I got an amazing deal. Unbelievably reasonable for a 28’ boat.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Beautiful boat, one thing though, those transom tie downs are pretty much pointless.

I wasn't asking to try and find the cheaper deal. I was only asking more for the masses to give a ballpark of his cost compared to others as that is typically how the details quote their prices. His work looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe they are there to hold the 2x4 in place.

Sorry it came across that way. I wasn't exactly sure how to word it!

No worries. It's all good!

It's an east coast thing... make the trailer 5ft shorter than it should be, so you cant tie the boat down properly!

Almost as goofy as a 3 axle trailer under a flat bottom out here!

Thank you. Ran into some trailer issues, probably explains passing us twice.

Well I am sure they are very happy it went to a great home and will be preserved. Very cool.

This dude knows his shit, he brought my 210 to life, well worth the price and a really easy guy to deal
With. He also does maintenance and has storage, he’s got it down. Also he refurbishes boat trailers as well.

He’s also sponsoring halletts in havasu this year so if you’re going he will be there

 

[BDMar]

Dan has been a family friend for longer than I can remember. Hands down, the best attention to detail, and knowledge about finishing I've seen.

 

[CobraDave]

Because of this thread I dropped my boat off at his shop today. I’m sure he is going to knock it out of the park.

I have a 21ft boat I might want to have the gel brought back to life and some repairs ( If I don't buy a new boat) . Would you mind sharing price? I know my project might be different but just so I have a ballpark. Don't want to drive to Ontario if its going to be too rich for my blood. You can PM if you prefer. Thanks!

Once again, every project is different. He will want to see it before he gives you a price. Give him a call, a few good text pics could get it done. No promises though!

 

[Hunkydory_Hallett]

Dan does amazing work!!!
My boat went straight from Lake Powell (8 day trip) to his shop after multiple rain storms it was hammered. After 4 days Dan had the 89' vector looking like it came off the show room floor. I dropped it and told him to have at it, I picked it up and the $500.00 was worth every penny.
I told him I was headed to Parker on Saturday and of course it rained 15 minutes outta town, Dan wanted to meet me at the Herbst car wash to help with the spot free rinse and a Lucas Oil slick mist wipe down.
Super cool, down to earth, and honest guy.
I'm planning on taking the boat to him this winter for stainless rub rail and deck hardware change out.

 

[HgH Vltg]

Just noticed this got bumped. I’m handing dans number out like it’s a stick of gum. Still ecstatic with the results from last year, and caring for it with some shine supply goodness.

How many Pebble Beach car show trophies does he have...lol
