Boat Showcase / Re: New Boater, Leak Question
« on: July 12, 2013, 09:33:16 AM »
Good luck. I'm having heavy leaks issues too. Trying to track em down. I'll be in Parker this weekend through Friday. So if you see a green boat shoveling water out, feel free to help lol.

Lol is the 23 mini a rare find or something? Forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to learn all I can about my Hallett. But at the price and condition... Plus the fact I fell in love with the looks, I had to have it.

Hmmm.  I have a 1977 Hallett Mini Cruiser. Have I by chance seen your 77 Hallett at one of the outings?  If not, you need to get your ass in gear.  How about some pics.  I don't post pics of my sled but others have been known to.  I look forward to meeting up and seeing your boat.  Have a safe 4th.
The Hallett Dave.  :)

No I don't think you've seen my boat. I've only had it 6 weeks and its only been out in Long Beach and in Elsinore.

Here's a shot from this weekend.

Yea I'm just going to go and give it a whirl. My boat is not exactly a speed demon and I don't drive like a jerk. If it sucks and I hate it, so be it. But when it's close, a free place to stay and nice area... Why not?

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to pull the carb for a clean up and see what jets I have in there.

I wouldn't do it from the standpoint of wear n tear on the tow rig just to have a less than stellar boating experience.  The lake will be windy and choppy and I think tubing is outlawed.  Parking your rig at your buddies house may be problematic too.  But as always, my advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Big bear is an hour 45 from me and includes a free place to stay. My boat is ounces compared to my rig for the offroad winters... My truck is modified specifically to tow.

But hell... Only one way to find out if its worth it! If anyone else wants to join in, feel free.

Advice is noted!

Hahah so what you're saying is the water is cold??? Yea I am aware of the water and why not, just never had a boat before. I'm not worried about the salad too much. If it happens so be it... But I will avoid what I can.

Thanks for the info on timing. And yes, damn am I aware of the po po up there. Nazi style. But hey, that's why they have maintained it as a great family destination. Can't argue with that.

I've got a 77' Hallett pushed along the water by a stock 460. I've got a Holley 750 on it and she is tuned perfect here (Torrance,CA) and runs great at the river. Was wondering how much issue I'd have with my jetting in Big Bear

Buddy has a condo up there with a private dock soooo why not right??

Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to SCJB. I'm new to this myself. Just picked up my 77' Hallett two months ago. Just got out from underneath it marine texing some imperfections in the gel coat.

Now following this thread because I'm looking for the same thing. Although tethering to my brother in laws anchor works... I don't want to rely on him always lol.

As funny as it sounds... I've done this before on an offload car. Now it wasn't exposed to marine elements but it will work I'm sure since its a marine product.

Full the holes with marine Tex and put in the hardware again. Make sure you clamp it so that it is tight to your bracketing. Worked awesome for me and is still holding on tight on my Sandrail.

Your other option is going up a size with the hardware if you really don't want to put new holes. Filling the holes with any kind of wood glue or other more common wood filler won't hold up in a constantly wet environment.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of other suggestions... one will likely be better than mine. But it worked for me and it's an option.

Chevys (as you well know I'm sure) are notorious for the ability to make huge power and cheap. My boat has a very crisp running BBF 460 too. But I will not pass up on an opportunity to go BBC.

The 460 parts are too pricey. Just my .02

A midget trailer (as in the race car, not a little person). But it was originally a boat trailer. I can double check but I'm next to positive they are water seal hubs.

I've got an entire axle set up with shackles and 5 lug hubs on it. Take the whole thing and I'll only ask 40 bucks. I just want it gone baby gone.

i made my exhaust flap from rubber end caps for pvc pipes they were 3 dollars and work great

Never heard that one before. But I have heard of using old tire sidewall? not sure how you get a nice cut on that but I haven't gotten to that yet. I will probably just make my own out of either what you said or see how a 4.5 inch hole saw works on a old tire.

How did the PVC end caps hold up against the heat?

renegade boats in anahiem, b&d marine in anahem, Dana marine in corona, jim brock is good to go to

I can live with going to Anahiem if need be. Thanks for the info, this is good know. The internet spots are pretty damn good sources though. I just hate paying 12 dollars for shipping when all I need is 20 dollars worth of exhaust flaps  :banghead:

Jet Pumps / Where To Get Jet Boat Parts?
« on: June 21, 2013, 10:51:27 AM »
Hey everyone,

I'm totally new to this world and this environment. Just bought my first jet boat (77' Hallet Mini Cruiser) and was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of some places to get parts and what not for my boat. I know the internet is a good resource (ARS, JetboatPerformance...etc). But I was wondering if there was something in my area (lets say...25-30 mile radius) that I could go to in a pinch.

I live in the South Bay (Torrance, Redondo Beach...etc). West Marine and such are useless for anything Jet related as you all well know lol.

Thanks in advance  ;D
