I've got a customer who's interested in this boat. Anyone know what the hulls were like back then? He isn't interested in the motors or drives, he has a pair of 1100hp motors looking for a home..
Thanks, Alex..

Im a big Hustler fan and former Sligshot owner but the Hull is not a good canidate for 1000hp motors. The hull does not handle well over 90mph. It was only designed to run fast with stock 500's. On some of the newer 388's the strakes are cut back for less stern lift for over 100mph speeds. You cant cut the strakes back on older ones.

A friend owned 2003 38 Hustler with 675 Eickerts and ASD7's , the boat flew(118mph) but very scary.

Thanks for all the info guys! Doesn't sound like the right boat.. The motors are in a 28 Mirage right now He really wants something that will run close to 115-120ish..
