The Hustler 377 Talon has the best ride of any of them.

Keep in mind with the ethanol fuel, you might have fuel issues with the skaters. not 100% sure though.

Any hull laid up 2005 and before needs to have the tanks redone.

In rough water, the 36 is the way to go.

Whats the difference between pre 2006 Skaters & post?? I've heard of some newer Skaters having their tanks done. My boat is at Skater now so I had them inspected just to be sure. Don't want to hijack but curious.
