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.

Well just on the looks of the pics, and barring a survey, comparisons of similiar year and model, the price isn't bad at all. I can have those motors refreshed for 3k max each. I have not seen a similiar year and model for under 95k, but who knows the drives could be shot or something major with the engines. It does look like it was taken care of cosmetically and "usually" translates into mechanically also.

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,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.

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,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 came to the same conclusion on the price of the trailer. I've seen some used 500efis for about $10k so I would be swapping out the motors anyway. That would put my bid around $45k, still up in the air about this one, I don't looking around for a trailer, PIA.

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
