About Hustler Power Boats
Twenty-two years ago Hustler was born because of the need for a faster, safer, offshore boat with more accommodations than anything currently available. In the early 80's performance boats were achieving speeds of 50 - 60 mph, but encountered tremendous problems chine walking and porpoising. The major manufacturers recognized that consumers wanted to go faster but these boats were simply unsafe at these speeds. The result was the 32' Hustler design. This model has won dozens of accolades including numerous national and world championships. In 1982, Hustler refined the 32' design and they were able to run 74 mph with twin 330 HP engines with surface drives. In 1984 the 32' Hustler LE was taken to the prestigious Powerboat Magazine performance trials where it shocked the high performance world with an incredible speed of 85 mph. This performance was the first national attention Hustler had achieved. For its time frame in history, the 85 mph was shocking, but the way the boat handled at this speed was even more incredible. That year, 1984, Hustler won the coveted award from Powerboat Magazine for Product Excellence. The expert loved the speed and handling of the boat, but was even more impressed with its construction.
