Way off on the name, my bad. Nice to see any performance boats on our puny lake. What ever happened to that nice Donzi and Hustler? Didn't see them at all this year

Hustler 21 is the reason I got a "warning" last year. I was trying to catch up to him (no chance) and got pulled over for speeding and 100% hull out of water. Worth it though..

Hope to see you guys next year
The speeding ticket is no big deal got about 7 of them the one year when I had my red and white intimidator. Only 50 bucks and no points.

Boat originally had a red interior, after we sold it to another person on lake hopatcong he totally redid the interior and i think that is how it remains. We had painted the boat and the design and colors as it is now is how we sold it, it may have been repainted since, but i do not know. The boat spent winters in miami/boca raton FL area in rack storage and used in the ocean and its summers on lake hopatcong NJ. By the early 90's it became a strictly freshwater lake hopatcong boat no longer making the trip to florida for winters. being 26 now i dont remember all the details other than spending the beginning of every summer sanding/treating/refinishing the teak on the dash. hope this helps



Well here is a couple for the memories. If you could scan and post some old photos of her it would be greatly appreciated.

Well idk what the rest of you are up to with your boats but here is some of what im working on right now




The awesome cat is getting the B&M 8-71 and the Baja is running the tiny 177. Im putting some stronger rods in the cat 502 and hopefully see 900+ on the dyno. As for the 177 it is on my baja 468ci and made about 625hp.

Lets see what everyone else is up to!!

exactly! i'm not going to touch my motors until you keep that pig running for more than a month at triple digits...then i'll just go w/ 300's and make you spend more money

wow. do you have any pics of the boat the larger blower is going into? what drive/steering do you plan on using for all that power? what speeds might it run? looks cool

how about the baja? drive? speeds

Love to see others' setups

Good Luck!
