1999 Slingshot
 

Not familiar, but she is/will be ready for rebuilds REAL soon showing almost 800 hrs.

Honestly seems a little steep considering the year and hours.......

That was my buddies boat for quite a few year. He sold it probably 3 years ago. I know when he sold it it had 600hrs on it I believe. I will tell u when he owned it it was in better shape than most boats with half the hours! He kept it very clean.

There is one on ebay for 80 k whit hp 500 's on a trailer looks pretty the same .

That seems to be a good price for that boat.The rear hatch pad usually has Hustler on it.The gap between the carpet and the rear seat,most Ive seen has no gap.shrank,new cut short, or broad was moved back??? new gages, means new hour meters:eek:,hard to tell the dash a panel and vents etc use to look carbon fiber,looks painted black?? Shore power is a plus,looks like dry tail pipes with the rings?? new ladder,prop hub rusted,salt water??? Props have the white crust look.Trailer doesn't have the swing gate.Tail pipe rindgcut for steering fitting,Its has a vhf,The dash switches been swapped out ,they have the lights in them,thats cool,Trailer looks newer.need a center cap on the spare tire.

Need a better engine pick with the hatch all the way up and straight down were the sea strainers would be .A real pick of the drives from from the side,

The trim tab cable were it goes thru the transom there is a black nut that hold sthe gasket thingy, it had hull cleaner acid on it,its bleached white,mine was the same way,

The head rest Hustler doesent seem bleached, I cleaned my so much ,mine faded had to get new ones.:rolleyes:

Rob:ernaehrung004:

When I was shopping for a Hustler the 415 was a lot cheaper,the sales person said a lot of buyers were getting them and swapping them out for bigger power,I ended up with one with 500efis with 46 hours,figured I would have a good platform with the 500's which I did,ran the boat 3 years did nothing to it,then put Whipples on for the next 3 ,2008 it spent 9 1/2 months in a paint shop:mad:,so 2010 ill be back running the same package.

no trailer, used one would be around,6500.
I hope the took the cockpit cover off to take picks?deck looks repainted, no graffix,new style shifter,throttles.transom looks worn,rusted tail pipes,prop hubs,missing black cap on trim ram,tab nuts bleached out like other one,Is that a gage above the thermostat???fuel?I thinking theses pictures are hiding the condition,need better picks.you can ck the hours as long as the computer hasn't been reprogrammed

keep shopping

I haven't seen many Slingshots with the black motor 502's. Excellent motors, but seems a little light for a Slingshot.

i have a 1998 slingshot listed on this site with 500hps and 250 blower shop superchargers on a alum. trailer runs perfect 92mph 250 hours.. make a offer..send me a email

Any ideas on what the mph would be on that boat with those particular engines? Had a buddy w/a 50' Hustler with triple 500 efi's that would run 80-81 on gps. They appear to make efficient hulls judging on that compared to some other boats I've been in from time to time. I'm thinking it would still be a very solid low 70's mph boat w/the 415hp 502's.

Becarefull of the guy that will sell ya a steped hull trailer that really fits something else.Cig,Fountain etc.My Myco is stamped for a 388 Hustler and it could use some reenginering!!! the bunks could of fit it alot better.

I have pics

1999 slingshot @ National Liquidators & 1998 on Ebay
 

Hey Guy's,Had a surveyor take pic's off the one at National it's rough!!!Needs alot of paint and gelcoat repair,Interior in Cuddy has a bunch of isuues along with major motor and drive upgrading or rebuilds??The 1998 is the Boat that was for sale about 4 years ago with the bulkhead damage on both sides in front of the engines where the boat got out of control in a high speed turn.Thats why the pad is different because it messed it up I believe.The work was not done at Hustler but Joe can tell you about it with serial#.Just wanted everybody to know because sometimes people fail to pass this info on to potentail buyers??Good luck..

How much did you get it for??It has alot of stress cracks around the Windshield,Transom,There are some really big busted spots on the transom corners where it looks like some forks on a lift hit while lifting it.The paint on the sides is all gashed up and will have to be totally redone.Hope you got it for under $ 40,000 or you will have a bunch in it time you get done with this project!!!!!

i would say right at 80

You won't see 80. a Cheetah on 496s runs 84, so no way a slingshot runs 80.

Why get rid of 502 EFI's for 496HO's? The 502EFI-black motors are extremely reliable stock, and great base to build from.

Yea, with 800 hours time for a change, or at the very least a refresh.

The initial link is dead. Are you sure it is still for sale?

someone spend some money on updating the dash and hardware.

Aberg how does it run???

damn ya got off in it quick,keep us posted on the progress, take a bunch of picks,its going to look good.

Rob:drink:

Thanks,I would be scared of missing parts,I would do a leak down on yours and get someone to read the computer.

Rob:drink:

How hard is it to get parts over there? keep looking in the swapshop section for a pair, you can build some decent power with the 2.3 also.new Whipple kits are $$$$

also plan on drive parts with Whipples

Rob:drink:

start a thread in the wanted section "looking for Whipple 2.3 kits" something like that.

Ill keep a look out for something.goodluck
Rob

try emailing Whipple see if they have a used pair , or try the blower shop in Ca ,I hear they come across used stuff and might beable to put something together.I think the guys name is Robert.

I would also look at a roots style and no innercooler no cutting hatch, I bet ya could make 700+ safe, By looking at your area I'm guessing your water is cool all the time?? roots cheaper and easier to get ,more use parts out there.

Make sure the intake water passages are not corroded out.

They look good,does it have a silencer built in it?

its never too loud:evilb::evilb:

where are you putting the cupholders?

looks awesome!
i have been thinking about getting my vents redone, who did yours?

Thanks Patrik. Looks great!!

What did you use to make the panels?

Looking good!! your getting a bunch done fast.keep us posted :drink:
