Hustler boats
I was coming home from Balto. and stopped along rt.50 and looked at a white hulled o/b hull with the name of Hustler . Is there a manufactured name ? It was about 16-16.5 long , many half-ass changes,but with dual cable steering and merc controls. the bottom was almost flat, from the road I thought it would be a inboard, but it had old jack plate with remote pump. The hull had strakes ,looked late 60's early 70's is this any thing? thanks Mac

If these are the same Hustlers. They were built by Jim Umbarger in Mchenry Il. in the late 60's and seventies. I used to work for Jim and my dad just talked to him the other day. If you need more info, give him a call, he loves talking about his old boats. 815-385-4848 or ask for Jim Jr. later, Dave

was the boat white top with a black bottom? Ive seen that one before. About 10 years ago there was one in southern md with a big omc that would run mid to high 80s. It looked like it was being pulled by a string at top speed. There should be thread I started from about 3 years ago that tells a lot about the hull. Let me see if I can find it.

Hustler Boats
Great boats, I owned a 14 footer in the late 60s early 70s whit hull Metalflake red deck. In the late 70s I bought a used 16 footer with white hull and metalflake blue deck and put a brand new Evinrude 140ss 0n it. Very nice running boats both of them. I have a Hustler glass tunnel the deck looks the same as the v-bottom, havent had it in the water yet, need to find a engine for it.

The Termite Special
Hey T2X, did they race a Eltro with backing from Roaringhams bar on Merrick road? Thats what I was lead to belive. My boss had 3 Eltros he got from Sonny Werner when Sonny traded up to better boats. I have one boat and my old boss still has the other.

Later I heard the bar story........
Does your boss have a big 18 footer? George Linder and I raced that in separate seasons ....... '67 and '68...and I understand that Sonny wound up with it.

White boat with black bottom is on lot also , I could not tell what it was. Guy wants 1800 for either one with trailer. Hustler looks fast sitting on trailer but it would be a labor of love ; like I'm doing with my Gt-150. Mac
