Re: 444 Huntress
 

Traded the 444 in on the Talon "Follow the Sun" boat. There were some bugs on the motors...but really did not run it long enough to find out......30 or 40 hours. They were stong, great drivability and sounded like 2 p51 mustangs rolling down the lake. That hull was a different story....they might as well mount it on a pole out front of the aqua toy store. I actually thought they destroyed the molds for liability reasons. One other guy got one and took it back....same issues and joe worked a deal on another boat I believe.

Which 444 was yours? They chaned certain things about the boat.

Re: 444 Huntress
 

The shott brothers have a Skater in the works?? could be.. i really dont know.. i did hear they couldnt get their 444 to handle well for nothing.. the 388 was a rocket.. a guy up this way owns it now w/ even more power..

id think the 444 is a faster hull than the 50. shorter, sleeker, and has to be lighter.. also, i doubt hustler would release it if it was a puke..

Re: 444 Huntress
 

The boat is gonna run really well!!! It has a really nice set up.

Re: 444 Huntress
 

I would like to ask what changes did they make to the hull ?? and why did they make those changes?? Who was the designed the 444 hull, and why did the first 2 and only 2 (well only 2 ever finished the third being a different story) run so horribly???

Re: 444 Huntress
 

Hustler Desinged the 444 Hull. Its not what they did to the Hull it was the balance of the boat, the placement of the motors etc. and the X Dimensions that were changed technology is changing and knowlege is always growing .The reason that 1st two didnt work are differnt for each boat... One of them will probably run just fine if it was propped right. The Second didnt work at all because the owners rigged it them selves and it was just a mess..... I dont know about the third one . I am 99% sure that the boat I am building for the Miami Show will run just fine. Alot of money is being invested into the boat by my company....we wouldnt purchase the boat if it wasnt up to the ride quality that everyone has come to exspect from Hustler. If any one has any questions about the boat or is interested in any new or used Hustler please call me any time at 631-445-0745!

Re: 444 Huntress
 

First of all I think the boat looks great, like all Hustlers. From what I have seen and been told, Balance, balance, and balance. From batteries, generators, to seating, to dashboard, to head, to the galley needs to be all in various area's to distribute weight properly, not all on one side, so the boat sits in the water properly when docked. This model for Hustler could have been a great success, it fits between the 38 and 50, both awesome machines, but very little sales, for various reasons. Im sure this has been straightened out, great looking boat. Looking forward to checking it out. Good luck. :cool: Jeff
