Anyone know anything on this 32 Hustler?
 

As some may know I was going to be picking up Dean's 35' Nordic Flame on here but some mishaps happened through no fault of no one and I have to really think about the idea now as the boat has 2 brand new motors in it and naturally the cost has to adjust for that (and it should).


So while I am thinking it over I am also looking back at boats that were in my original price range/idea and I came accross this boat.

1997
175 hrs original
502 mags
flat haul.

Just wanted to see if anyone had any news on it that one should know about. I know the boat has been here in FL for about 3 years the broker said and was in NY area prior to that.

Either way I have a lot ot think about on what I want to do here with the boat situation but this could rule out one thing if there is a checkered past on this boat.

Thanks guys

That's too bad for you and Dean. What did he put in it for power?

Merc racing 500 blue motors.

I am not 100% out yet...just really need to think about it. It adds about 50% more on top of the original price and that's a big jump. Just really need think and go over all the options.

I like this Hustler too (not as much as the Nordic) so it's an idea. I spoke with the broker too and someone to survey the boat as well.

Why are you stuck on black motors? There are soooo many deals out there on 30-35ft boats with merc blue motors in your price range.

I have not seen any really. Not that are not beat to chit with really high hrs.

I really want to stay in the $40-$50k area. I could go more but I would have to use a bank and really don't want too as I am the type that doesn't like to finance anything.

Also this is my first every powerboat. so 70/80mph should be good for a bit.

well maybe not all mercs but atleast 500hp......if you have cash in hand make offers you might be surprised, some people might be asking $60K but need the money and when youre standing there with the check, $40K will take it home. Don't sell yourself short....

I would say these are the only 2 I have any interest at all in but i really am not a big Fountain fan. I like the Cigs but both wayyyyy too heavy for my current truck and have made up my mind I am keep that and not selling it just to get a boat (would rather go smaller boat then new truck).

The 2nd one I like but being in NY is an issue

also I know ZERO about carbs.......when I say zero...i mean zero. I know engines but have only had experience in EFI my whole life (31 yrs old).

That Sutphen looks to be a very nice boat.

Wayyyyy to old for my taste

LOL, I dig it's classic old school offshore lines, probably because I'm old.

Nothing wrong there brother.

We all have different flavors but in the end it still boating and fun that brings us all together.

You need to call Eddie at Lake Ozark Marine, and Brett at Performance Boat Center and see what they have to look at when you are at LOTO. Next week. Lots of really clean boats to choose from.

Not above taking a look.

Just talked to the GF and she said drop her off fri morn at Camden and then I go out an look while she relaxes. Might just do that to be honest.

We did talk tonight and if we deside the Nordic is more than we want price wise and we don't see anything we like by late Sept we are going to wait till winter and buy a fun car for a few months to enjoy.

My 32 AT is also still looking for new owner:hijack:

Unfortunately I brought it home from LOTO a few weeks ago. I'll be down for the Shootout, but riding with a friend.

are you sure you can live with that paint ?

I could but if I got over it. My buddy owns a vinal wrap shop.

For the cost of material and some beer I can have whatever color I wish on any boat.

Any interest in a '99 31 Sutphen? I don't have it listed but it fits the majority of your needs.

To be honest I don't know much about them cause there is always very few listed. Other than a great rpugh water boat I don't know much about them or their layout.

Here's a little more info on mine.
