Snapper Boats 1986 By Hallett

[Ron Hill]

Hill Marine was in the middle of the Mini Boat Revolution, 1986: Western Engine was most helpful, also! Hallett built these Snappers for us. Bob Carlson drew the plans. My dad built the wooden "Plug". Ron Edie of Eliminator Fame, tooled the deck, Nick Barron of Hallett Boats made the molds and built the boats.

The problem, Jet Skis were new, you could get one the day you walked in to a Kawasaki Dealer and they had low payments.

This is Chad Hill driving a "Snapper" when he's probably less than 7 years old....

Original Snapper logo....Rumor has it that Chad Hill bought this number 30 boat. That is two number 30's this month!
