the looks and space it got I love,about the handling and performance I can't tell you because I bought it as a project whitout power and drives ,but I did a lot of research before I figured out I want a hustler.
What I found on forums ,magazines and from owners it is a great rough water boat and one of the fastest V hull ,she had two bleu 500 carb in it tweaked a little to 600 hp each and did a 90+ according to the last owner.
I am know do a complete redone and put in two cummins diesels 320 hp each which I can upgrade to 385hp.
the diesels I do because of the high gas prices here in europe
almost $7 a gallon !
I hope I can tell you more in 3 months about the handling and performance

I would think the twin Cummins diesels will be a lot heavier than a pair of big blocks. I would be curious as to how it will effect the balance.

:party-smiley-004:32storm,

That s why I chose the qsd 4.2 and not the 5.9 ,
the 4.2 are 406 kg /1014 lbs each so that s pretty much the same as a big block .
It wont be a flying one but hope to get some where arround 70-75 miles out of here but it will be much better on feul consumption.

by the way I found your name a lot on different hustler forums ,and you know very much about these boats ,particular on the 32's learned a lot reading your posts !

thanks for that and the input on this one !

happy newyear,

bor

what sites might they be? i have googled these boats for years and came up with not much info.

just look here on oso (use the search tool) and on speedwake.com the same thing .

there are several threads about the 32 hustlers,what will you wanted to know about them maybe I can help you finding .

nothing in particular, i just was wondering if there was more info out there on these boats than i have read on the board here. i have searched ''32 hustler'' many times on here with pretty good success. good luck on your project they make for good winter time fun. lol

some more from inside and engines

What drives will you be running with the diesels?

Also if you do a search on "Diesel Demon" you will see a 38 Slingshot that Joe, the owner of Hustler, ran.

I have 2 new xr ratio 1:50 to run the diesels ,they not gonna like it I think but with a little care and easy on the throttle the will hold up I think/hope.

I love a arneson set up but it's a litlle above my budget for now but I keep looking for a nice used set ,wich is the best set up I think fast and bullet proof ,the negative part is if the family is on the boat i have to be very carefull whit the props and swimming.

Where Did You Find The 32
Not Many Of Them For Sale And I Hadn't Seen That One In A While

cb,

I found it on ebay where nobody bid on it and contact the owner and worked out a deal whit him ,it was located in farmingdale,nj .
was stored inside for a couple of years because they blown a motor. I got it whitout the blue engines.

nice:ernaehrung004:

this is my new to me 388 slingshot

Congrats on the boat!! Your going to love it!! Miss our 388.....it was a great boat.

Nice!!

My 377 Talon

Rik will make you some prop guards..Ive seen them before on a 388 hustler and asd-7 set up..secondly the bravo drives will eventually fail..so from a budget standpoint like you mentioned..if its slightly more I would invest the coin to make it more reliable and turn key to enjoy the complete season of boating..Good Luck.

you have a good point there but it's quite a bit more and the boat is allready bravo configurated so it's also alot work to convert to straight asd 8 's and the bravo replacement is much more $$$ .

I have the engines and drives in allready one enginem runs other gives a fault code wich I work on hope to do some sea trail this year to see how it perform whit this engines and maybe save some money to do a conversion next winter if I need more hp I sertainly need arnesons ,

Rik is a great guy have asked him several times advise and he always help you even when you bought nothing ,so when the money is available I spend it there!
