It's the walk through open.
Notice in the pics above the deck is molded with the hallway. Forward of the seating area is a triangle shaped flange for the anchor locker.
Somewhere they have a dedicated closed bow mold too.

I think a 565 with ITS and there new 2 inch standard shaped lower! Get that motor down as low as you can get it in the boat!!

IN the drawing looks like the front windshield has a different look. Hope they do change it never liked the look of the so round look. The old 240's were better looking. Hope the go with more of Nordics design of a windshield.

The line drawing is a Nordic Rage.

Do you guys have some kind of bonding process where the jig saw puzzle parts of the stringers join? Thanks for showing the entire build process, I would definitely choose a Nordic / Hallett now over any of the other builders because of all composite build and your attention to detail!

I’m assuming tooling a full liner walk through 255 deck (like Rage) is rather costly. Several other manufacturers in this forum say that all it takes is lots of money, but since y’all on top, perhaps now it’s time to do it? Oh sure, the Hallett purists will scoff and scowl, but they’ll soon dig it. So wadda ya say, time to tool a full liner WT 255?

I like the gel scheme on this boat. It's going to look nice. What power?

In the picture where the silver is off, that is not the seam, that is a detail in the side of the hull. The seam is 6-8 inches above it. The silver looks off because it wraps under that detail and continues.

When Hallett did their gel they usually put a solid color above the bump and the detail work below the bump in the hull:

This one is different but I like it. The colors pop. Can't wait to see it on the water.

Congrats to Nordic! A little birdie just told me that this boat has gone under contract.

New owner is a long time Hallett owner and a Parker guy. Sounds like she is getting stock power to be a nice family river cruiser.

Can't wait to see her finished and being enjoyed. [emoji106][emoji106]

Bummer. Sorry to hear for who I thought was getting this. Some other lucky shopper is going to get a nice boat though!!
