Thanks Tom thats very Impresive .What year is the boat? Thats a lot of work to put the 6's on it..Post some more picks

The suports I was looking at are where the swim ladder screws to. I just never seen one without it. I figure the drive would have hit it anyway.


It looks like with 750 hp and B Max's . Its going to be around 99 on the low side and maybe 105-6 on a good day? That might be pushing it ?

I allready have the 1.30 gears .Dean is at 750hp w/ xr's turning 32 pitch 109 and Tom was 700hp 1.30 w/ B max mids 90's. Maybe Ill be in the middle?Maybe the motors will make more than 750hp?. I am doing a little more that there standard 750 hp Whipple package they usally do.

I know theres allways going to be faster out there , the main thing is we are going to have Fun

I know there has to be more Hustler owners out there , so post up

Hey Lou, When my friend was having his engines rigged at Pfaff's, I wanted to see the 875's and check out the new boat. So my friend that works down there called me when it got there, so I just happened to show up . What they did on the center strakes is smoothed them out for approx 13-15 in from the transom(I don't remember the exact distance now). From what I hear, that is supposed to help the boat ride on the pad better. After talking to my buddy and riding in his boat, he has the same riding characteristics as ours....I think to really make a difference you would have to smooth more than that short distance of strake. As of now I don't see myself doing it, especially since I put the 380 tabs on....just my .02 Tom

Tom- That's good feedback. A friend of mine was crewchief for a F2 Slingshot. Chip @ Hustler told him to grind off the last 18" of the inside strakes. I'm really intrigued by the 380's especially if you don't have to drill new mounting holes. Canyou just change the tab or do you have to change the transom mounting bracket also? Cost? Lou

Lou, We paid 550 for our 380 tabs(used)...It takes 5 min to change one. It uses the same mount as the 280...you just remove the stud that they hinge on and unbolt the ram from the plate and switch them....We had to trim ours so the wouldn't hit the drives...I'll take some pics and post them. If you can find a used set, it's the way to go... Tom

Rob - I definitely believe 103 on this boat. He is running a very similar setup to mine with just a little less HP.

Tom - Sweet boat. What kind of speeds?

Dean, What did you get by going to the shorter lowers speed wise. MIKE

The shorties were on the boat when I bought it. My guess is 2-3 mph. I don't have any trouble at all getting on plane either. In case you were wondering
