Hallett 290 Gelcoat

[rchelm19]

Here are some gelcoat options for a new Hallett 290. What are your thoughts?

Timeless :thumbup:

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

Timeless is a good word. It's very conservative yet elegant. No risk as to going out of style. :thumbup:

Top or bottom colors? They are slightly different, look closely

 

[Briley]

I like the top one with the red over the grey, makes the top and bottom match.

Top. But either are very nice.

 

[240Hallett]

Very Hallett looking.

 

[rchelm19]

Should I do blue instead of red?

 

[fmo24]

No on the blue. I love Halletts Reds and yellows. I like the top sketch best

 

[Gelcoater]

You know,you're not limited to those pre existing graphic patterns,right?

 

[McRib]

Looks like every other Hallett out there. But looks good. Can't really tell if it's a 99 or a 2015.

Yes of course, just trying to picture the boat with red and those 2 shades of gray.

Only my opinion but if it were mine I'd go with something different in design. That type of design is offered by every west coast boat builder and you see it everywhere. It also make me think of the whole tribal tattoo thing. :yikes

Quite a few years ago a guy had a new Cigarette Gladiator done and I really liked the design. Very timeless and nautical. I figured if I was to ever order a new boat I'd go with something like that.

Understood.

I guess the question I should ask is,when you close your eyes and envision "your boat" is that the graphic you see?
Don't be afraid to break out some colored pencils or even some crayons and sketch some stuff up.
It's a custom boat,built to customer spec,it should represent you and your taste.

I'm willing to work with you as much or as little as you like to make your boat "your boat" and I know Jerry is also.
If that means you spend some time in the booth with me while I lay out various options on shape etc that's fine also.You would be far from the first for such a request.

 

[HALLETT BOY]

Remember less is sometimes more , don't go hog wild on colors because
You can , stay classy and you won't regret colors in 6 months

 

[tkrrox]

I would flip the top and mirror it on the bottom. I am burnt out on the hockey sticks

 

[Abc123]

Top looks great.

 

[rchelm19]

Understood.

Im not sure when we are coming into the shop, but i know it will be soon. If you are their, we can look at some other designs but red, gray, and silver are the colors we are going with. I like the design but at someone said, it is a very common design. I will try to sketch some things out, hopefully you can help me. You do all the gelcoat for hallett right?

Glad we'll be doing business together! Jerry and I have been back and forth so hopefully we can commit to a date in the near future.

Don't worry, not even interested in that sort of stuff
