Anyone Know who's Hallett this is??




All Comments from BoatTest.com.....


"The boat involved was a Hallett 290 and as these pictures will attest the boat is tough as they come. Granted that blasting along at 70 or 80 miles and hour can get tedious after awhile, so we can well understand a jaded speedster's desire to climb the side of a granite wall. Please don't try this with just any boat, or even your SUV for that matter!"

"Some boaters are not satisfied with thrills and chills on the water, they also want to take their boat mountain climbing."



"No, folks, these pictures have not been Photoshopped. Hallett boats come with Ilmore engines and custom made outdrives able to swing big props and climb big square ones."

"This boater obviously figured that a five-bladed prop could just grind right through the granite. If only he had a bit more power he might have been able to make it. "

"Note how the Hallett 290 was able to handle this granite mountain face with only minor damage to its bow. "

"Dear BoatTEST.Com Readers...

I know you think these are fake,... but I took these pictures this weekend. I discovered this boat on Lake Mead in a pass called “The Narrows”.

Do you think this guy had a bad day or what?

This is a 29 foot Hallett, they sell for $100,000 to $175,000. Notice that it has a 5 blade prop. Most boats have 3 or 4 blades. I think these will go upwards of 90 mph. He must have been airborne to climb those steep rocks.

We just found the boat there as you see it in the pictures. No one around.

John Schiefelbein"

Upon further investigation.......

"P. Sauter  7/21/2010 3:36:09 PM

There were five people on board when a sea doo cut the boat off. The driver made a sharp turn and lost control and all the occupants were thrown from the boat. The boat continued on until it ran into the rocks. Two of the occupants had to be air lifted to the hospital but we were told no serious injuries."  

except maybe.... to the boat.... :cry

Not my words Gig, I was quoting from BoatTest.....

A truly unfortunate situation to say the least.... Glad there were no fatals though...

It breaks my heart to see such a gorgeous boat ruined by the irresponsibility of the sea doo driver.....

But what do you do in that situation? Hit the sea-doo? Its just sad all the way around....

I'd almost bet that he could have drove around it but then I wasn't there. Turning the wheel hard enough to eject all 5 peeps is a pretty drastic move.  :eek
