I have to agree with the guy that posted your pictures, I don't care for checkers either. The new pain job looks great. We just bought our first Hustler. Ours is a 2004 with 500's so I'm guessing that your's is newer seeing that it has 525's. I've seen 90 in ours, just wondering what kind of number's are you seeing in your's.

I have been testing props and the best I have seen is 90.3 with some worked 34's. Should have more in it!

What do you have for drives and props? Im interested.

Let me know the address you want them shipped to. I also have the 5 blades. I didnt run those though.

Thanks,

Shuko?

Looks great!!!!

Shuko is my wife's middle name and is what we are thinking about renaming our boat. It's Japanese and 1 of the meanings is superior/excellence. You also asked what power we are running. 500's with xr drives (1.5:1) and stock 32p bravo one 4 blades. 90 mph and supposedly hits 93 with some fine tuning.

Thats where I am with stock 32P props and Imco lowers.

I wonder why I am not getting more out of it?

The stock 34's I tried were terrible over 85 MPH. Too much transom lift. Back to the start I guess!!

Looks nice.

496 boat originally out of Atlanta?

I got it and it had Canadian registration so I dont know.

Far from 496's now though!

Anyone running faster in a Cheetah than 90 with Bravo style drives??

the yellow 34 @ sequoit ran 92mph with about 1/4inch left on the throttles figured it can hit 94 maybe 95. its got 525's with bravo xr's w/its
