26 Hustler with surface drives
 

Does anybody know how many 26 Hustlers were built with surface drives?

Not sure, but I was looking at a nice red one on the east coast a while back. It was awesome.

If it was solid red in VA thats my buddies boat. That thing is awesome he's a member on here.

The red boat is mine. I was just wondering how many of the 26s were built. I was told the one that I have is the only one that performed correctly. The boat ran 87.3 yesterday before I winterized it. Not bad for a 1986 boat with small blocks.

I dig that boat!

I sold a few in Europe. The fastest ran 90mph with a 640HP engine and Bravo XR.

Not bad...

Did they have the ASD6 drive?
How were they in rough water?
When I bought my boat in 1990 it ran 90 on my radar gun. I detuned the motors a little (dropped the timing and when up on the jetting) to make them live longer. It will run 85 anytime I want it. The reliability has been awesome. The drives are bulletproof. Most people that I talk to do not favor the surface drives but I love them. One of these days maybe I will find a 40 with surface drives.

Got any pics? I love the way they look. What HP can they hold and how are they when you are docking?

Yes, I have pictures but the file size for each picture is too large. Do you know how to zip them so they fit in the forum?
