Presently, as a marine surveyor that specializes in high performance boats, I have surveyed several used 32's since 1997 and I found them basically to be extremely well-built and holding up quite nicely. Some of those older 32's had big power and surface drives and were not for the novice operator. Damn they were FAST!
Find your dream 32, make your offer subject to survey, sea trial and compression and leak-down tests. GOOD LUCK!

Sounds like the man in the know

Re: Hustler Racing Boats....

There is some more info on Franks 32 Hustler, two years ago leaving the Richmond Radar shoot, he was headed home when he was run off the road, the boat slid down a hill flipping it off the trailer it rolled over and crushed the hatch into the blowers and ripped a drive off and had a little damage on the top deck.. he bought it back from the insurance comp. and repaired it at his body shop.

Re: Hustler Racing Boats....

wow. Thank you very much for the history excursion. He did NOT disclose any information about any previous damage. He stated that the drives/engines were rebuilt 3 years ago, and have low hours. NOTHING about previous damage such as this.

Than you very much again. We will continue the search for a DIFFERENT offshore racing/weekend fun boat.

Re: Hustler Racing Boats....

The boat linked above is NOT Frank Hubble's boat of VA. It is NOT the one that flipped off the trailer here in VA. Franks boat recieved minor damage and nothing structural. The engine hatch, blowers, carbs, and flame arrestors were thrashed; that's it. It has been fixed, and repainted, and is still running 100+, with 900HP aside and Bravos. As far as I know the boat is not for sale, and is safe and sound here in Northern Virgina for the winter.

Itstock This Boat Was Not! Repeat Not Ever In A Accident

Call Kurtz Marine In New Jersey Tell Him You Are Looking At Phil Underwood's Old 32 Hustler. Most People Can't Even Afford A Motor Rebuilt By Kurtz Marine. He's Not Some Fly By Night Wanna Be Racer Like Some.

I Just Got Off The Phone With Him.
I Can Tell You This With A Baby On The Way He's Let It Fly Cheap Go Look At It And Make An Offer. And It's On A New Triple Axle Trailer
