    The screws in the emblem are where post are located. They must of broke off and they drilled it out and put screws in it. I have new one to replace the old ones.

    Dan Umbarger is a member here. He could most likely provide the most accurate info. He has a Hustler that he redone and it looks new. Quite impressive rig.

    Just Got a call a few weeks ago that the boat in the bulletin is still around. In rough shape. Word was Pipkorn had it when he past away.
