Is that in NH ? The Hustler.Not Right said:
Was one locally (very locally) on a trailer for that amount of $$$. Don't know the year or engine. Was sitting there for 2 yrs almost. Haven't seen it out there for a while.
I think the boat looks blah, blah - same exact as pic above. I'd rather have it all white or something more flashy. Just seems very boring.
Jeff - for some reason the twins don't really go much faster. We have two twins nearby. Both Drivers said 454MPI's but I didn't take a look to confirm.
Anyway - they where some shocked when a single walked by them. This was when it was Procharged, of course,
but.....................
I can honestly tell you that for a 29'10" very roomy boat - they can motor with a single BBC.
I would have never believed it either, until test drove with the OE 502MPI.
Anyway - just saying people must ride on boats vs believing some guy they pull up to or meeting on the internet.
Including me !!! :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher:

Agreed, ride in what your seriuose about, crawl around undernieth and see how it fits yah!
I too like the Capions fit and finish! Thats why I was so disapointed with the twins! Strange why that boat isn't faster. Hell look at a 32 Sun with the same power, it'll walk all over that twin 30' Chase.

Yup?
According to the marina, the 26 in GA was from OH and was sold by them to the current owner. It may not be the same boat, I will ask if I am interested.
I did talk to the salesman from Hustler a few weeks ago, I think his name was Brian. He didint know the boat but questioned why they would set up a boat w/ a ext box, hyd steering, k planes and a 454.
Apparently the original owner wanted to go big and never did.

The only sit down boats I've been in were cats , but I'm not opposed to a sit down boat at all. Actually when I run hard in my boat I prefer to sit.Canada Jeff said:
26 Hustler and 26 Sonic 's are cool but I've already got a 26' boat.

Well if your talking about the Y2K and equivent, your talking sit down boats with little freeboard. Just wanted to mention thie option changes some of the choices on the poll.

Good point CJ. I dont think I'd want to sit while running hard in a V either. Cant be too forgiving. I assume the bigger boats are much better; 47GTX, 42PR, Gladiator..

You don't have to bigger to stand, such as Active Thunder, Donzi, and of course Sunsation!Merc1100SC said:

Yup, but if we are talking pleasure craft, I'll stand. As long as the boat has the freeboard to allow it.
I would dare stand in a 20 Outlaw, I'll look like a fool.

Its a personal choice BH. thats why I asked if he wanted a sit down or the option to stand.
None of us are running F1, I don't think?

Remember, drives have a better chance of eting themselves when going into a bigger boat with a single.26scarab said:
Implanting your 540 will make things worse.
This means going to a lighter lay up boat with a narrower beam. Could be tough in the ruff stuff - so shop carefully.
29 Fountain is a good option. Fast, comes standard with all the good stuff,(Electic bolsters, race throttles, k-planes with indicators, race motor mounts, halon fire system) plus great boarding ladder, anchor locker, probably the largest cockpit space and decent cabin.
