with T600 it reaches about 87mph.

But in my personal opinion it is not important whether it runs one mile less or more.

More important are security, rough water handling and the quality of the boat!

the 344 and 388 fullfill these wishes in a smart way.

PS: with 675 Keith Eickerts and Arneson Surface Drives the 388 tops 110mph.....

Thanks again for the information. The 388 would be a great next boat!

I looked at the 344 at the boat show. It was one of my favorite boats there. I didn't care for the seating package in it. The salesman said it would run 106 with 525's and arnesons.

what boats did hustler have at the miami boat show, did they introduce anything new...post some pics of the boats for us less fortunate up north

They had an awesome booth.

Nice pictures of the show. Interesting with the sit-down Cheetah, and the V-10's in the Slingshot. appears both were set-up with surface drives.

Just noticed that the Cheetah has nice HP to go with the surface drives. That boat has to fly. Nice color combination also.

If anyone is interested our 2000 Slingshot is up for sale. It's time to move on and do other things. Mrs Cardshark wants me to retire. The boat is loaded and has 500efi's. If anyone is seriously looking for a Slingshot I would be glad to provide pictures and details. We are asking 187,000 for the boat. Cardshark

First, I'm glad to help you with a Hustler. We have 2 344s and 2 388s in production right now.
We do not have any used 344/388s at the moment.

The Hustler and Sonic are two different boats. The Sonic will give you a larger cabin, however it will weigh more and run considerably slower with the same power. I do have a '97 31 Sonic with a loaded cabin on our list...

Please don't hesitate to call if I can help.
