50 Hustler vs 46 Black Thunder
 

150-175K price range, I know the Hustler is a faster hull but what about amenities? It's just the two of us and we want to take longer trips around the great Lakes. I want to cruise at 50+ and she wants all the cabin room and amenities. We also want to entertain a small group, we looked at 370ss, and 400ss but not there yet. I still want to go fast. We are selling our second home and will be looking to purchase soon after. Also, we're open to suggestions of other boats. We're both on the shorter side, I'm 5'7" and want to stand up in the cabin.

BT cabins are hard to beat.

Bt's are offshore condos. Have u been on one? The first time you go below u will be sold

I have been on a BT, there are a few in my area. I have only seen pics of the Hustler and been told they are just as nice with better performance.

It's not a Hustler or a BT but it's a pretty impressive sleeper.....

You did say "open to suggestions." :)

I have a friend that has a 2002 BT that he is looking to sell in spring. He is in Milwaukee WI 100% fresh water boat. I know his price will be below your price range.

Best of luck in your search!

These are both likely triple engine boats? If I were looking to run a long way at 50mph and be able to get home if I broke, this would be a triple boat for me. Neither are long range 50MPH cruisers on twin bravo setups, I don't think I have seen a twin 50 Hustler other than big power anyway.

I have always loved the Black Thunders if you want a Go Fast that has the most amenities and lets not forget a HUGE cockpit with seating for 9 and standing for 20 skanks :-)

Ryan9154 is selling his beautiful 2002 46EC with or without his 1050 Precision/Chief engines, SCX-4 Drives, 380 K-Planes, 100mph floating condo. His wife and him used to overnight on all their boats and just don't anymore.

They are out of my budget but agree at how cool they are and how big. I would LOVE to have one.

This is exactly my dream BT.

If I cant find a decent BT, this is absolutely my next choice. Sofa King Cool
