It's kind of ****ing obnoxious that you keep inserting your classified ad in a bunch of threads touting what a great deal your boat is. Seems to me if it was a deal people couldn't pass up on it would be sold by now.

+1......

Also note that all white 04 Nortech with 525/XRs sold recently for about his asking price which tells me someone still would rather have a small power NT than a Hustler cat.

Funny how the self righteous get butt hurt when the thread centers around a real boat.

So a 377 Hustler Cat built light for speed is going to handle the same water as a 41 apache..?

To me the CAT deal of the last 12 months was RARE BREED. I think the final asking price on that got down to 149 if I remember correctly.

I can say with 100% honesty

I would take a 525/XR (reliable turn key everyday) cat over a Hustler cat, and would do it every time if asked again.

Guy actually put the power in the classfieds so I would think he is putting bigger power in. 525's aren't exactly maintenance free, plenty of stories on here about header leaks causing rebuilds but I understand your point.

Not knocking Clifford, Its a bad ass machine and well worth the asking price for the amount of Kaboom it offers. I have day dreams of owning it.
But lets get back to the 120mph 42 Fountains that can only run 40mph in snotty waters.....You have obviously never ridden in one.

All **** aside all 3 boats are great.

Some people love the V-hull, some the Cat, no one is right or wrong.
