I picked up a 1990 Hallett Vector that had been sitting in a garage for 3 years. Definitely a garage find. It needs some TLC, but nothing major that I can find so far.
Here are the specs...
1990 Hallett Vector
2 bolt main 468
MSD Ignition
Bravo 1 w/23p Mirage 3 Blade
Mayfair Steering
Took it for a shakedown run in Parker this past weekend after changing all the fluids and Impeller. Ran in the low 70's and the RPM's were right around 5500 if I remember correctly. I only ran it up there once or twice to see how the hull would react as I didn't want to stay in it too long and burn down a motor I hadn't even done a compression check on yet. Anyhow, It ran great and performed beyond my expectations. A few mechanical issues with the tab gauges and the carb but other than that it went well. :thumbup:
To Do list.
1. Purchase a Cover
3. Remove all interior including hatch
4. Full detail on Gel
5. re locate speakers
6. secure all loose wires and hoses
8. Address minor wiring issues
9. Fix and reinstall hatch cover and panels
10. Add Velcro to seats to keep them secure
11. Vacuum and steam clean the carpet
12. Re glue carpet to front bulkhead
13. Fabricate a support under deck for bumpers
14. replace elastic/bungee on side panel pockets
15. add a waterproof type glove box on both driver and passenger side for personal belongings/registration. etc..
16. cup holders
17. Install new face to Nordskog Speedo Gauge
18. Replace 4'' Exhaust tubes.
19. polish exhaust tips
20. Cam, Intake and a new Carb (already have this)
21. Pop up Cleats and flush mount gas caps
22. swim steps
This is the initial list that will happen immediately. Pop up cleats and other cosmetic items will happen casually. I still want to use the boat this summer. I will address gel work touch up and repair after the season is over. I'll take some pics this afternoon. should be a fun project. :thumbup:
