50 Hustler

[good2go38]

I don't even know where to start. I am thinking about the 50 Hustler as a high performance/cruiser. I am older and I do not run my boats hard.
1. Are the Bravo drives reliable with HP 500s. Example 3500 rpms 99% of the time.
2. What is the cruising range? speed?
3. Were any 50's built with diesels?
4. How is the storage in the cabin? Is there a place to hang your clothes?
5. Is the shower seperate from the rest of the bathroom?
6. How wide is the boat?

The 50 Hustler diesel that was built for the Miami show last year was traded in by fastboats.com Owner Randy Sweers. I know the gentlemen, he traded it for another Nortech. Other manufactures that should be on your short list is Nortech, I had an 07 4300 Yanmar/Arneson which just sold and am presently doing another 08 Nortech diesel boat. Good Luck, call me if you have any questions. Jeff Jassby 228-216-0900 cell

Whats the top speed of the 50 with trip 500efis? I am guessing 80?


I wonder if I whipple them like I did my 388, Would see 20mph increase?????

I have heard that the center drive gets a lot of stress?

Thanks

Is the KE 575 a 575 hp motor or more? Thats pretty good #'s if its 575hp at 90 MPH?



Just think if I put whipples on one with 500efi's like I did mine and turn them down to 800 HP each ,it might get a little over 100
