Grandpa's new Hot Rod. Documenting for my dad. He's had a bunch of cars, and is responsible for mine and my brother's car/boating passions. Over the years, and there are probably other's I don't remember he has had; 1955 Ford F-100 1972 Ford Capri 1979 Datsun 280Z 1931 Ford Model A Sedan...

Highlights of the past 22 years of ownership, to get to, the current project that I took on. Purchased in 2000 at The Great Labor Day Cruise. I was 15 1/2, barely had my permit. Super spoiled I know. Originally a Red/Red 327-3spd. Bone Stock. It was hit in the late 90's. The owners...

Start'em young! Custom Hot Rod Wagon. My son Cash got a surprise present from Grandpa for his 1st Birthday. Grandpa gave me the build pics, I will document it here.

Working my way up to 1,000's, and 10,000's like some of you in here. I thought it fitting for my 200th post to wish my son happy birthday. My son's 1st birthday is tomorrow 12/17/22. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASH! :D We took him out @ 5mos old to Moabi, and motored down to Topock. Pretty surreal...

What is the story on the graded land south of Cattail. I was procrastinating on google maps and noticed what looks like housing plots on either side of 95. Haven't really noticed this before. The satellite image has bushes and stuff growing there so I assume an abandoned endeavor? Really...

My 2010 Sierra SLE 5.3L, I think ate a lifter, so no need to beat that dead horse. I am convinced its top end noise. The harmonics are sending sounds all over the engine bay. My local mechanic, is washing his hands of this repair. He specializes in Classic Cars, and I believe is being genuine...

Hello RDP'ers, I've been stewing on this for a while now. With the world in full pandemic lock down, just the general state of things, it seemed like a good time to start this thread. I needed a mental exercise to get my mind off all the SHIT happening outside. With major events and now boating...

http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/12/first-photos-of-the-2021-chevrolet-suburban/ What does the RDP Braintrust think of these new boat pullers?!? Less polarizing then the new truck reveal a while back. I've been obsessing on this reveal, and it is a little underwhelming. Specs, and ratings...

Saw this on Instagram last night. MTI on the side of the road on its way to Key West. Short video but the boat and truck are facing the wrong direction. Anybody know anything? Hope all are okay. Maybe on its way to the Key West Fun Run? https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dnulZF5mf/?igshid=1u5417mdhzi6r

Spotted this guy this past weekend?!? Anybody know him?......................:D Showing RDP some love this past weekend up in San Luis Obispo. I tied the knot this weekend in a Fall Harvest, Country Music Festival wedding on a working cattle ranch. So much fun and good times with family and...

Bad'est Mo'Fo' on the water! Hallett 240's!! :D This boating life: Presidents Weekend Tune up and Spit/Shine. Tune up at Savage Marine.:thumbsup Lots of elbow grease. We broke routine and used Performance Boat Candy Crystal Cut Polish on some of the high use areas, gotta say it works...

http://hallettboats.com/ Stumbled on the new website during my RDP/boating websurf lunch break. Looking good Hallett, glad it has finally been updated. :thumbup: Now lets work on getting a Regatta together!

First off, we want to give a shout out to Mark at Savage Marine. We embarked on replacing the 20 year old OE remote oil filter lines that needed to be retired. OEM replacements are not even available anymore. So we took our best shot at buying all the Russell fittings and braided hose that...

I searched the boards here a little before asking. The house this past weekend looked like over grown jungle. We are new to strictly desert/rock landscapes. The little bit of rock we have in SoCal is managable. What is the going census on seasonal weed control in Havasu? I saw some...

In true budget fashion we tore into the trailer over the Holiday break. The idea is the next project would be blowing the big coin for a new interior and a kickin' stereo. In an attempt to save some money, the trailer just needed a mild touch-up, and I think that was accomplished. Straight...

I'm sure this topic has been talked about, but here goes a new post anyway. We have a 1995 Hoss trailer, and our recently aquired parking situation is extremely tight. 1 INCH off the swim step and 1 INCH with the garage door down. The outdrive tucks into an alcove at the back of the garage...

Just took the 240 in for pre-season service at Savage Marine. Savage Marine 1575 Industrial Blvd. Lake Havasu City, Arizona 86403 (928)680-6202 Mark and his son took care of us once again. Mark has personally been working on our Hallett for about 5 seasons now, and each time we have...

First thanks again to everyone that followed along last year on the "Project: 240 Hallett engine rebuild" thread. It was blast documenting the build. We put a good amount of hours on the motor over the summer, she's running rock solid. We are headed to Havasu in two weeks to do some preseason...

Dropped the boat off at GT Performance this afternoon. I want to periodically update the progress in this thread. As things happen, you all in the river community can check in on the restoration. We are having the engine and drive rebuilt. 1995 502 MAG, Bravo 3 just past the 500 hour...

Hey river folks, we were pulling the boat back home today from Havasu and when we stopped we were minus a seat cushion. Headed to SoCal on the 40. It's the back seat cushion from our 240 Hallett. Probably a friggin long shot of some one seeing it but PM me. LOL! Shit Happens sometimes!
