I've been in both many of times.
Hands down a regular non super massaged by hand boat. The 50 Hustler is faster and will get better fuel efficiency compared to the BT 46.
Inside I'd say they are pretty darn comparable, Both will have all the room in the world you want, I've been in a 50 hustler in 4+' rollers in the great lakes on a poker run running 75+ mph.
Both good boats but when it comes to speed with the same motor drive packages. Hustler gets my $ on the bet.

I just got this thread forwarded to me I own the 46 offshoreexcursion is talking about. It's for sale motors at Chief now with current setup cost is 150,000. If anyone is interested it's easier to contact me at 810-691-9154. Too much to list.
Not sure yet what I want. But it's got to be staggered with a head. Smaller of course don't stay on it anyone.

You should look at the Sunseeker 48 Superhawk. There are 3 in the classified. Pretty nice option.

Sweet boat and I like the transition to cruiser! Curious as to what kind of fuel burn and range you have at a 45mph cruise. Thanks and GLWS.
Back to primary subject- how are the Hustler and Black Thunders on fuel being 5k lighter. Yea I know if you have to ask you cant afford it. 🤓
Thanks

FYI the current 1000 Chief motors are very reliable. Only reason I took them out was to freshen then up to sell with fresh power. Have 2 seasonson them pump gas 150 hrs. Their a 200-250 hr engine. Only running 6.8 lbs of boost 5700 rpm. I can honestly say these are easier as far as maintenance than the 575s I've had in the past. Mefi 4 controlled so you can plug a rinda tech mate scanner in. To much to list.

Don't forget the Parvey boat is the GT deck (with a few after market bottom improvements) and not an SC. The SC has quite a bit more headroom which I believe is what the OP is looking for.
For cabin height the BT SC is hard to beat.
