It looks like a February discount is available ...........

How fast did this one go in saltwater?

And while looking backward at the stuff that is no longer built, it's a shame they are not still making these SOB's.........

Before looking forward, one more picture of the Hallett 21' SOB

I don't have much info Ben but yep I agree, they have nice lines. There were only a handful built out West and now Hallett is no longer in business having closed there doors and selling all there assets and tooling to Nordic in 2017. Shame to see a long time American builder cease to exist after decades :(

Not sure where this mold has gone. Hallett was just purchased by Nordic Boats and I do not know if these molds were involved with the sale.

I got a hold of the owner and below is what he had to say ............... I assumed it had a raised pad but was wrong, has a delta.

"We are seeing 90-92. With out a skier. 84-87 with a skier

It does have a delta pad"

The Olympic judges have cast there votes. Updated data for "The List" in the Winter.
