Mine stick out 19"past my swim platform , I have never had blood in the water because of them I have kids and grand kids , herring and others make heavy prop bags you can put over the props if you are in a heavy traffic area.

My crack was in-between strakes...mid boat and ran 12' in length...no sign of impact anywhere on/near crack.... my 388 was a '01
My friend ( who I know has seen this thread but has not chimed in) basically had de-lamination in roughly same area- I hope he comes on and elaborates. I think he had a '99 or '00 boat

Hey Chris, mine was just like yours, the cracks were in the same area! Our Hustler was a '99. At least 4 Slingshots that were here on the west coast had de-lamination problems. All in the same area....

Wow! I know these boats are light maybe built a bit "thin" in spots? What does Hustler have to say about this?

I can only speak for myself, but they were no help....I'll leave it at that

Details?

Sounds like you might have already talked with Shawn about his Slingshot...

70K will buy the boat -- its worth that all day long.

Yeah if it's the Canada boat I talked to him some time ago. Detuned engines at about 650hp due to available fuel. Bmax drives
