SD - that pic reminds me of my first flat. I was 20 and co-owned it with my 17 year old brother. 65 Hallett long deck with a strong sbc 350 and a hallcraft v-drive. paid $2700 for it. we drove the sh*t out of it. It got more hours on it than all of my other boats combined. It was a love/hate thing. loved the way it drove, excellerated. hated the fact it was only a 2 seater, although we usually had 3 on it so we could ski. the deck was seperating from the hull and we didn't have any $ to fix it, so wood screws and 2 ton epoxy to the rescue. Then we blew the motor. so we stripped it of everything and sold it as a bare hull and trailer for $700 (I think we got the better deal). Been hooked on flats since...
