    All his employees??

    All 12 of them?

    I know, I went there for a job interview one time, and I felt like I owed them some money just for the great tour I got.

    I was offered a position in the Race/warrenty section..........I felt like a kid in a candy store.......

    Then he told me that he came in one morning, and didn't leave the plant for THREE DAYS.........

    Thats when I said thanks for the tour, but those hours are kinda grim.

    They also were the most busy, (overtime wise), in the summer, and dead in the winter.....not the kind of hours that someone with a boating problem (like me) would like to work.

    Plus, it might make me hate boats after a while.....and we just can't have that!

We are dedicated to re-strengthening both Fountain and Baja, keeping the same look and feel with improved quality and workmanship. Over these last couple years, Hustler has been blessed with sales and is running strong and would like to give back to the boating community by saving these companies from being auctioned off piece by piece.

    If you have any question please feel free to email me at john@hustlerpowerboats.com
    A couple things Hustler builds a good solid boat from what I have seen and second they are well funded I heard there is a Tie to Direct TV in there somewhere so it will be a Positive step in this economy for the area.

    I hate it for reggie though,I know some people don`t like him but ,he is one of the high perf boat pioneers,and has been in the racing/boat building scene along time.I give him respect for that.In this tough economy I hope other high perf boat builders can weather the storm.I`m sick of seeing center consoles in my area.

    The last boat we manufactured was in 2007, now we do it on a per order basis. So for now just doing major repairs. It is hard to say what the future will bring.
