Here is the deal... I have a serious itch and want to buy a open bow 21ish boat that I can haul the family around in but..put some serious power, drive, and just make it my own creation. (know what Im sayin)
I have a 28' p-cat for sale and as soon as it sales, Im going to be in the market for a boat to start on. I have been doing alot of research and I think I narrowed it down to a Hallett 210 open bow. Im thinking about building to 7-800hp.
with RDs batt boxes, etc.. What do you guys think about that hull. Is there any other that you would suggest? Im talkin open bow here so...H/vector, shiada is out of the Q.
The only thing I dont like about the 210 is the long windshield. I think it would look good blacked out or having a new one made to match the color of the hull. ie; white or blue or ???
Any opinions are highly valued (or at least most of em)

funny thing...my wife was walkin around with a unleashed hat on yesterday.
sorry bout the name bro....gotta share ( I might be older though)
Check the Laveycraft 21 XTSki, it handles pretty big water well, and has the blacked out windscreen like you mention. I know it is stable at speed.

New or used? Schiada will build you an open bow (walk through or full dash w/crawl through). I may know of a '95 21' Schiada River Tunnel with an open bow/full dash setup and big power (Pfaff) coming up for sale. Will sell w/o power if you're building your own. Email me if you're interested. I'll have pics in two weeks.

I didn't see where you posted this on RRL?
My 1st question is why would the fact that it would be an open bow rule out a 21 / 22 Schiada or a Howard Custom Cruiser? I've seen both of them in open bow configurations before. My own personal preferences would be of the 3 boats you already listed..
Schiada
Hallett 210
Howard 21 Custom Cruiser
A 21' Lavey would probably smoke the 3 above in top speed vs given HP, but when the going gets rough, I expect you'd see the 3 above pass the Lavey right back up.
Another consideration, although I don't believe they make them in an open bow, would be the Nordic 21 Blaze. If you can deal with a closed bow, that thing is a ROCKET.. 700 HP would put you over the century mark in that boat from what I understand. (Going off second hand information there, haven't been in one yet)

I love the Schiada but Im lookin for alittle value (as in price) for a used boat.
Howard is still not out of the question.
Im really lookin for some old school lines so the Nordic and Lavey are alittle too new lookin. (to me)
The 210 seems pretty good (about 30-40) for a good used boat thats in fairly new shape and I wouldnt feel bad about tearing into it.
I figure buy the boat for less than 40 and another 20 would get it set up pretty nice.
