Re: 26 Hustler with surface drives
The red boat is mine. I was just wondering how many of the 26s were built. I was told the one that I have is the only one that performed correctly. The boat ran 87.3 yesterday before I winterized it. Not bad for a 1986 boat with small blocks.

Re: 26 Hustler with surface drives
Did they have the ASD6 drive?
How were they in rough water?
When I bought my boat in 1990 it ran 90 on my radar gun. I detuned the motors a little (dropped the timing and when up on the jetting) to make them live longer. It will run 85 anytime I want it. The reliability has been awesome. The drives are bulletproof. Most people that I talk to do not favor the surface drives but I love them. One of these days maybe I will find a 40 with surface drives.

Yes, I have pictures but the file size for each picture is too large. Do you know how to zip them so they fit in the forum?
