388 Slingshot ready to go.
I purchased my slingshot in July of last year from Joe at Hustler. The slingshot is the 2005 that Eric traded in on his new Rocket. I'll start out by saying I tip my hat to Eric. The boat is incredible. Not a scratch or rub mark anywhere. Joe told me before I purchased it that you could sit it next to a brand new one and you wouldn't know the difference. Well when I pulled up to the hustler factory I couldn't believe how nice the boat was. I would like to also add that Joe is one of the most honest and nicest guys I've dealt with in the boating industry. This is my second hustler and I can say my next upgrade will definately be another hustler. I bought the boat with no power so it's taken a while to get it together. We've made a few test runs so this weekend will be the first big run. The motors I built for the boat are very similar to the motors that Eric had in it. A pair of 572 tall decks with 3.3 whipple sc. I had Eddie Young (Young Performance) tune the motors for me and the guys at Total Marine Performance help me with the rigging. A big thanks to Steve and Chris at tmp. And also a big thanks to Eddie for all the advice he gave me when I was building the motors. Gonna try to upload some pics of the finished product.

Eric does have good taste. Not sure if it was his first Hustler but I have one of his former Slingshots "Mean Streak"
Not to mention I contacted him a few times by email and he was very helpfully.
