AT or Hustler
Thinking of moving up to a 38 and have narrowed it down to either a 37 A/T or 388 Slingshot, mostly lake erie boating but it gets pretty rough out there at times so i am looking for the one that will have the best all around comfort, rough ride capability and handling with a twin 525 set-up. speed in the high 80's to low 90's would be great as well. Which would you recomend for all around performance especially rough water.
Take a look at the article or email me for a copy it says it all.
The boat is one of the few sport/performance rigs that you can buy today that will give you creature comfort,good looks,and a competitivly fast and safe ride.
You get it all and its Custom.....order what you want right down to the last nut and bolt.

I have run several AT's in the past three years mostly at Poker Runs,the last boat being a 37/700 which is one of the feature articles in PRA sept 07 magazine.
Read the article ...it says it all.If you can't get a copy email me for one.
The 37 is one of the few sport/performance riggs that you can buy today that offers nice creature comfort in cabion and cockpit,has looks fit and finish,and is competitivly fast especially in blue water giving the owner the best of all combinations.
Best of all you are buying a custom bolt that you can spec out right down to the last nut and bolt so you get what you want.
The boat holds its value and the guy that owns the company is out ion front when you have a problem where can you get that today.

Well you guys are pretty much backing up what i have heard and read so far about the A/T, by biggest selling point will be the rough water ride, lake erie can get to be a real mess in a hurry. I would love to see the article if you can post a link that would be great, and thanks for all the support on the boats. I will probably put mine up for sale in the spring and start to plan out my new one or if i find one a cpl years old with the side entry cabin and good amenities that would work as well.

LMFAO!
Wish I have ridden in a 388 so I could really make a comparison. All I can say is do an OSO search for this boat. There was a most interesting thread on 388's and their handling characteristics a while back in the GD forum. They are beautiful boats, but after reading that thread it dropped off my radar. I did climb all over a 388 in Miami. The AT is so much more boat for all the reasons mentioned above.
Let Pat take you for a sea trial in the Atlantic off Pampano. You will be placing an order like I did. Guaranteed!
