Boat industry legends arent made overnight…they are earned through years of experience, successful operation and a talent and a willingness to create original product that stands apart from all the rest. For more than four decades, thats exactly what Hallett Boats has been doing. Earning its reputation by building the finest boats for a discriminating and appreciative clientele. Making a name for itself in the custom boat marketplace that has no equal. When they decide to add a new boat to their line, they start from scratch, with a blank piece of paper and only a concept in their imagination. Eventually the concept is captured in a scale drawing, still months away from becoming a finished new boat. The manual labor phase begins when the initial wooden jig to form the skeleton of the plug is slowly assembled by hand.

Every step must be measured precisely. A deviation of a fraction of an inch can be disastrous when your goal is perfection. When the plugs are complete, a separate mold of each must be made. To accomplish that, the plugs are covered, layer by layer, with fiberglass mat and cloth and soaked with resin. Once cured, the molds are reinforced with a steel framework and separated from the plugs. If the process has gone according to plan, the molds will now be ready with only a minimum of detail work to begin pulling production hulls and decks. For the birth of a new Hallett, the entire procedure may take up to a year or more. But the wait is well worth it as evidenced by our many industry awards from Powerboat and Hot Boat Magazines for outstanding new models.
