You might want to consider the 40' Fiore as an express cruiser on steriods. It's hard to even compare the boats. Many of the 40's were rigged with triple engines. The Slingshot, as mentioned above, is a much lower profile boat. If you're looking for cabin space, the Fiore is the natural choice. If you're a day boat guy who wants a twin engine rocket - the Slingshot's probably more suited for you. They both are great handling boats.
Very different boats. The 40 has a monster cabin with a lot of headroom. This is a big ride. Ideal for a weekender & overnighting. Hustler's 1st boat with steps.
The Slingshot is more performance oriented. Sleeker design, smaller & lower profile cabin. This hull had a lot of time put into refining the steps. This is a faster hull than the 40 with the same power.
It's like comparing an M3 to a 750, or STS to XLR. Either way, two very nice rides.
always rode on a triple engined boat and was hooked from day one
single step , no hook issues
planed without bow rise
that's what made me want and get a Hustler and would love to have one now
of what's out there I'd build a new one !
TRIPLE 850'S OR MAYBE 1075'S
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
IT WOULD BE A MONSTER
