WTB 388 Slingshot
 
Looking for a 388 slingshot for sale... What's out there? Have already looked in the classifieds, PBL, boat trader, Ect. Talked to a few but the search continues.

hustlerguy 05-18-2016 10:21 PM

What are you looking for?
There is a bunch out there. What are you not seeing you would like?
There is one locally here owned by a engine builder, it has all new 675Hp naturally aspirated motors, ext boxes,drives are fresh. Turn key 90+ mph boat.
The owner bought another boat and the hustler is ready to go

Eliminated572 05-19-2016 06:13 AM

Yes I seen and talked to Aaron twice on that one. Just didn't want to limit myself to one when others may be out there. There are a few things that bothered me but I'm not trying to turn this into a bash fest of any sorts. Merely like to explore option. Efi would be nice but not required. 95+mph would be great but if I found something with 500Efi's whipples would be an option for me. Clean is needed for sure.

I replied to your PM. Give me a call.

There is another 388 in our group that maybe for sale if the price is right. EXTREMELY clean boat with newer (Ateco I think) 598's, Imco drives, Myco trailer, new (from Hustler) interior. Pm if you want and I can put you in contact with the owner.

Crazy looking prop guards .

Eliminated572 08-11-2016 10:24 AM

Busy summer!! Back on the search now. I've circled around to other boats (tire kicking more or less) but keep coming back to the hustlers. Anything else pop up?

kvogt 08-17-2016 10:18 AM

Shogren has a 388 for sale.

Strip Poker 388 08-18-2016 10:26 PM

What is it you have Tom?

Velocity Tom 11-20-2016 01:32 PM

2000 388. 500 efi s.

Eliminated572 11-22-2016 05:00 PM

I see. What pros and cons do you see with the hustlers? Some say due to how light they are you can "feel" the water different. I didn't notice and some people say that's a myth. Any insight on this? They seem rigged and wired very well. I like the spacious cockpit/cabin also. Thoughts?

Velocity Tom 11-22-2016 06:51 PM

No non of that. It's heavy. Now my Velocity's where light.

Velocity Tom 11-22-2016 06:58 PM

I think I read in my original test sheet for my boat the chip filled out it weighed 9200

315duramax 11-22-2016 09:34 PM

mine can still be bought ;)
