Why is a 32' (OK, 33' with a swimstep) Hustler even in the same conversation with the other 39' boats ?

there is no way of comparing a non step boat to a step bottom boat. yea if ya want to go fast with little power in 1-3 foot chops yea or in lakes and stuff ok. but if ya want to play with real mother nature (3-5 foot chop and plus which is where the fun begins) like the ocean or lakes like lake Michigan then there's no way a step bottom boat can handle the waters like a non-step boat. for some reason the new Apache are non-step

I like all the comments on this topic, and I gather that the trend for most mfgs is to increase speed even if it means giving up some comfort. Thats OK with me, I wouldtn't take my boat out in 3-5 foot chop anyway. I would happily run 100mph on 1-2 foot waves any day. But thats just my opinion.
By the way love that Hustler, but I know the first summer I would have it some drunk azz would cut themselves on the drive/props.

Last conversation I had with Rik was that he was designing a cover plate like a #6 that goes over the top of the prop for you drunk asses from landing on top of them.
