I ended up picking up a boat this weekend. 

1976 Hallet 18' Bubble Deck
460 BBF (stock w/ 533 orignal hours on it)
Berkley Pump (not sure what model yet)

I bought this boat from the original owner, he ordered this boat himself from Hallett in 1976. He said he used it mostly in Havasu and Parker and has since moved up to Tahoe and cannot use it on that lake- He ended up with a pontoon boat. He said that it had not been out in over 2 years. I am giong to have the motor out and in the shop by the end of February.

The boat is a real find, I am stoaked, I will be starting to chip away at my 'to-do' list next weekend, I'll get some pics up at that time too. I am sure I will be posting some WTB adds for BBF parts in the very near future. I am sure I will get to know the ford guys on here pretty quick.

Thanks again for all your help on the search guys. I am really looking forward to posting some good project threads as summer comes closer. And most importantly, I am looking forward to some good SCJB river trips, I hope she'll be worthy.....

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I plan on getting it all polished up and getting it out to test run within the next few weeks. I will put up some pics next weekend when I get it out to do some work on it.

Dang 2sav, they are really hosin' you man, It's a little too early for me to jump in on the banter but, all I can say is that I hope you have a running boat this summer!

I am looking forward to meeting up with all you guys out at the river sometime this summer.
