Look at the bottom on that thing!View attachment 1052664
That's a nice bottom and I know for a fact the boat handles chop well for its size. Just a thought.
I think it has Baker and Caliber 1 rootsI wonder if anyone knows what hull that was originally.
Looks like it would be fun with a 300.I think it has Baker and Caliber 1 roots
I need a bare hull for my Merc 300. What hull from a havasu boat dealer would you put this on, I want to rig it myself. I have talked to Cheetah about their scorpion 23.... they
said they would get back to me. Any ideas would be appreciated , Also I don't want to be in line waiting for ever for a boat. I figure 3 Months to complete . Hull 23 to 24' would be perfect !
I have the molds for these. Bottom is the same, 2 different decks.
Grey and Blue boat are the New Deck

Red one is the older "Hallett F2" deck. (note this is a Hallett Built Boat, I haven't pulled a deck from that mold) It is now at WOT Marine. 28 Skater also has/had a Yellow one

I was just going to post to talk to Randy at Liberator.They responded in their thread and said they won't do a bare hull. I'd talk to Maxed out Marine, or if you are looking for a cat maybe talk to Liberator out of TX. (good option)

I can ask Al if there's any real interestIt was the 22, at one time Eliminator either had the molds or had access to the molds. Not sure if they still do.
As far as I know….no, remember reading they closed up shop maybe 2 years ago. Others have a lot more knowledge about the current situation.Is Lavey still building new boats?
2 years ago, no.As far as I know….no, remember reading they closed up shop maybe 2 years ago. Others have a lot more knowledge about the current situation.
2 years ago, no.
10 months ago, yes.
I left there November 2020 when they were packing up and moving out of the building.
On a side note, I know where all the molds are at.

curious why they won’t sell a bare hill? Is there just no profit in making the hull itself and they rack everything up in all the accessories?
Did Lavey ever do bare hulls? (or more to the point, less engine/drive but otherwise rigged or with furniture?)
Exactamundo!Liability... someone fucks up their own install, and suddenly you make an inferior product.
Heaven forbid there is a wreck! Even if your hull is solid and proven, you will be in court defending yourself over a botched customers install. At least if it is in house, you know it was done right!
What is that ?View attachment 1052664

That would work.I really like that Hallett Deck on those!! (I'm old school and like that styling)

Yes if I can find a bare hull, I took it out the other day, It has power of a Flatbottom out of the hole, Keeps going to who knows what speed it would run.So your selling the stoker no motor?
Is this the advantage, whatever, it would work . Problem i can not find a seller for a bare hull.View attachment 1052664

Would they sell you a hull if you allowed them to mount your motor for you?Is this the advantage, whatever, it would work . Problem i can not find a seller for a bare hull.
I think boat builders want to make it all, Rigging ,Markup engine and other parts make there profit margin . I guess they will not separate for less profit, The boat buildersWould they sell you a hull if you allowed them to mount your motor for you?
Yeh, that sucks but I understand them somewhat wanting to control their product.I think boat builders want to make it all, Rigging ,Markup engine and other parts make there profit margin . I guess they will not separate for less profit, The boat builders
I have called do not even return Phone calls.
I will give them a try ! Tuff Marine is in canada .Yeh, that sucks but I understand them somewhat wanting to control their product.
Have you tried Tuff marine, I've always had a spot for that hull.
If you are considering Canadian builders check out Bitz also.I will give them a try ! Tuff Marine is in canada .
That makes sense but every boat delivered is usually altered for speed changing the characteristics of the boat, that would make boat builders responsible for how there customers change the boat. There are all kinds of boats out there running speeds above what they were designed for, Then the driver who has no clue,Trim up instead of down confused, No seat time.....It seems like they could hold dealers liable for this too .Liability... someone fucks up their own install, and suddenly you make an inferior product.

Yes they built it as an outboard then converted to outdrive. Think they ski raced it in both configurationschiada ?
