When was the last 32' built?
 

When was the last 32' built? Was it built when Paul Fiori (SP) still owned the company? And where are the old Hustler race boats at? Just curious. Thanks

Joe was there in 2000 and tried to get him to build us a 32' then, but they were working on the Cheetah which was not yet finished. He did build us a 26' for the summer. I'm guessing 1998 or 1999 would be the last.

1997 was the last year a 32 was built, and those are extremely rare.There were a couple of boat tests on the '97 32 that appeared in Powerboating Canada and March '97 Hot Boat magazines. Fiore was still there at that time, and in '97 when the Slingshot was introduced.

Not sure when he left to join Mike at Outerlimits. There was a Powerboat article on Outerlimits a few years back that discussed Paul joining Mike.

Here's Paul with Team Hustler 388 Slingshot Factory 2 boat. Key West 1998

97 was the last year of the 32
