Ultra 23XS Merc 350 vs Hallett 240 Merc 502 which would you buy?

[Bedrock]

Curious to get your thoughts on these two, both are WTOB. Would be used for lake and river boating with between 4-8 people. Build quality, ride quality, roominess, fuel economy and resale value are influencing factors. Is there a clear winner? Guessing the Hallett will have the most votes.

240 Hallett, without a question

Hallett 240, no hesitation. We LOVE ours.

 

[SoCalDave]

240 hands down

hallett all day, our next boat will either be a 240 or 270 wtob owned a closed bow 240 loved it

Probably the Hallett, unless the Hallet is in bad condition and the Ultra is in great condition. The Hallet is heavier, and will ride better.

The Ultra will likely be cheaper to buy, and also resale for cheaper. I think you will maintain the same resale with either boat.

I don't think you can go wrong with either boat honestly.

I love my ultra, but Hallett without question. The 350 vs 502 alone has me pushing for the Hallett amongst other reasons.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Been in several 240 Halletts & they are spectacular boats. Very stable & will crush cruiser waves when driven properly.

240 all day long!

Condition and colors being good the Hallett. Sitting back just waiting for something with decent colors to come up.

240 all day long. I would sell my 210 for the right color combo 240.

 

[fishing fool]

Have you tried a different prop on the Hallett?????

 

[Hallett_Whacker]

Hallett 240 open bow is probably my forever boat realistically speaking.

2003 Ultra & 1997 Hallett

 

[boatnam2]

240!

 

[bripar77]

502 any day over the 350 and a Hallett all day over most others

 

[Singleton]

I am a loyal Ultra customer and I would say Hallett.

 

[Bpracing1127]

I have a 2001 ultra 23xs and I would say the Hallet. Mine has a 496 tho

 

[RCDave]

Hallett 2x everyday of the week and 10x on sunday

I ended up picking up the Laveycraft Tim posted today. Really liked the Hallett too and Matt is a great guy with an awesome boat. Someone should definitely jump on his 97 240.

Congrats on the Lavey. Great looking sled. Make sure you get some winter boating in, it’s a great time. Enjoy.

Figured that lavey wouldn't last through the day.. I was taking a hard look at it myself..just wasnt 100% into the color scheme.. that said..you will be totally happy with that sled for sure!

My favorite color is blue but wasn’t to be. Thanks appreciate it. Now I can get back to work, it has been non stop searching the past couple of months
