AT 32 VS Hustler 32??
 
Pro and cons of each hull. Quality, rough water ride, etc? Looking for something that can take a beating in the rough.

My 32 AT has taken everything I've thrown at it and surpassed my expectations.

Well my 28 AT is better than most 28' boats in bigger water...I like to run 55-60 in 2-3's, most people are very impressed with the ride. The AT 32 is only gonna be better!

I don't think you could go wrong with either boat. However, the 32 AT's would be a newer boat and technology could be better- maybe lighter?

I don't think 32AT hull had changed much until 06' when the first 33AT (REMEDY) was built w/ Harry's designed step....aren't the 1990's the same hulls as say the 2002's?
Does Hustler's 32 have a step?

Same V-bottom hull from 1989 until 2003.

The only thing we ever changed is that we dropped a notch in the transom to raise the X.

The 33 has no relations whatsoever to the 32.

The 33 AVH was an all new hull based of the 37 design. AT then cut down the 32 hull to make the newer 28's.

I don't think Pat did anything other than maybe some very subtle changes to the 32 hull from the original hull he bought with the company. It did get lighter by about 600# with newer technology.

The 32 Hustlers don't have a step. I think the last 32 Hustlers were made around 1996 and overall there are not very many out there. Probably less of them out there than 32 AT's. I looked at a lot of Pics of them and just didn't care for the layouts.

I guess Pat types faster than me.

Didn't the 33 replace the 32? Or if someone wanted the 32 you would build it?
